One of my favorite ways to simplify meal planning and keep food costs low is to schedule breakfast for dinner about once a week. To be honest, actual breakfast for my kids during the week is usually a muffin or cereal bar and some fruit. But when I’m making breakfast for dinner, I’ve got more space […]
My husband and I went back on Keto a few weeks ago. Getting back into the swing of low carb meals we can get into a rut of a basic meat and broccoli or other green side. It gets old fast! This week I needed flavor and some good old fashion comfort foods, so we broke our […]

The theme of the meals I’m cooking these days is simple. I don’t want it to require much prep or thought. I just want to go into the kitchen and quickly make something to feed my family. This recipe fits the bill. My husband grew up on Hamburger Helper and loved it, so it was […]
With Easter a few days away, you probably have a ham in the freezer or on your shopping list this week. It’s the go-to meat for spring holidays, but also one that can leave you with a ton of leftovers. In an effort to not waste precious food let’s have a game plan to creatively […]
