How To Freeze Fresh Herbs

One of my favorite things about summer is the fresh herbs.  And I can say this at the end of February because I’m not currently being overrun by oregano, parsley and thyme!  Their prolific growing potential aside, herbs are an excellent way to add some flavor to your cooking.  And when you grow them yourself,… [Read More]

Homemade Mac & Cheese

When it comes to foods, my weakness is macaroni and cheese.  And soups… I really like the versatility of soups.  You can add almost any ingredient together in a pot with some broth, and some delicious magic happens!  But back to my weakness… macaroni and cheese.  I grew up eating mac & cheese out of… [Read More]

How To Determine Budget Categories

When you start budgeting, it can seem so daunting.  At least it was for us.  We knew we wanted to get out of debt, and learning how to efficiently budget our money was made a little easier since our income and bills were pretty straight forward.  For us, it was the “other” expenses that were… [Read More]

Creamy Tomato Soup

Everyone has one person in their family that’s super picky when it comes to eating food.  For this household, it’s Monkey.  He’s very particular about things.  And by things, I mean – Every.  Single.  Thing.  Everything!  We lovingly call him our Shelly, after Sheldon Cooper on Big Bang Theory.  He has his own spot at… [Read More]

January 2019 Debt Update

This month we transitioned to a monthly income versus the weekly income we were used to.  I did a few things to help prepare for the transition.  First, I made sure to leave a slight buffer from our final December paychecks rather than adding more to our debt snowball.  That way any bills due or… [Read More]

February 2019 Meal Plan

Every month when I make our monthly meal plan, I look over our schedule for the month.  It’s not because I like to bore you with the details of how busy our month is, everyone’s month is super busy in their own way.  It’s simply because a whole month of meals that are long and… [Read More]

December 2018 Debt Update

December… the time of year when it feels like everything that is humanly possible to take place is being shoved in the few weekdays available before December 23rd.  December was hectic for us, as I’m sure it was for everyone.  The first three weeks were non-stop between rehearsals, concerts, recitals, try-outs, doctors appointments… and to… [Read More]

January 2019 Meal Plan

Hands down, the easiest time I have making my monthly meal plan is when I have meals that we didn’t make the previous month.  Most of the family was down with the flu over Christmas break, so I didn’t get to using all of the meals that were planned out for December, so some of… [Read More]
