Mexican Without Meat? Yes!
We really like tacos. And burritos. And enchiladas. Chimichangas. Tostadas. You get the point- we like Mexican food. But sometimes I see another ground beef recipe and I sigh. When that happens I turn to these Empanadas. The most difficult part of the recipe is spreading the dough into circles. Just a few simple steps [...]
How Long Can Eggs Be Left Unrefrigerated?
Or, maybe more to the point,how long can they be forgotten in the back an SUV before you entertain the possibility of food poisoning? This morning as I was loading the girls into the truck after gymnastics I spied a plastic bag in the rear of the truck. My eggs! From our grocery excursion… Last [...]
Triple Cheese Baked Spaghetti
I’m continuing my quest for yummy meatless recipes we can all enjoy. Last week I made this wonderful triple cheese baked spaghetti. It’s quick, it’s easy, and,most of all, it’s yummy. Posted by Jody @ Fab Food Friday
White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese
This dish is a twice a weeker at our house. We all love it, with the exception of my 4 year old, who doesn’t like anything so she doesn’t count. I don’t know if she created it or not, but I inherited this recipe from my Grandmother and it’s one of the best things she [...]

Tasty Treats for Less
Have you noticed all the new snacks that line the grocery store aisles? Many of them are designed with your kids in mind- Teddy Grahams Trail Mix, 100 calorie candies and cookies, tasty treats in all shapes and sizes. Unfortunately those treats just don’t fit into my budget. They are overpriced and under-sized. So I [...]
Spinach Quiche
I love a quiche. It’s cheese… and eggs… in a pie. What’s not to like? My girls will actually eat it, too… Probably because we call it “cheese pie” or even “the great pie” ala the Backyardigans. I especially like this spinach quiche (recipe here) because you don’t need really expensive cheese and it tastes [...]
A Quick, Easy & Delicious Salad
I admit that I’m not a fan of salads. Unless they are covered in yummy stuff that completely takes away from the nutrition of eating a salad. Yeah, it defeats the whole purpose of eating a salad; I may as well have a burger. But,as part of our new, frugal -and hopefully healthier- way of [...]
