  • Family Feast for Under $10: Budget-Friendly Meals Everyone Will Love

    Family Feast for Under $10: Budget-Friendly Meals Everyone Will Love

    So, a few months back I wrote a post, about trying to fit your food budget within $185 because that’s what I was receiving with food stamps at the time. Since that time, they’ve reduced me even more, with my budget being $133 now. Thankfully, were able to hit food banks, or purchase food if…

  • Deliciously Spiced Dry Rubbed Chicken Drumsticks

    Deliciously Spiced Dry Rubbed Chicken Drumsticks

    Recently, I had a thought after I published my post on Dry Rubs and Marinades. And that thought was: If I made chicken in the oven, like I typically do, would it taste any better if I dry rubbed it like I did with the pork? My family found this great seasoning by Kinders. Its…

  • Bacon Cabbage Rice

    Bacon Cabbage Rice

    July 28th marked my husbands 32nd birthday. And its a long standing tradition that you pick dinner on your birthday. Daniel has a favorite I make, and its called Bacon, Cabbage, Rice.

  • The GOOD coleslaw

    The GOOD coleslaw

    I am very particular when it comes to coleslaw. I think that 90% of the ones I’ve had put far too much sugar in it, or worse. They use that absolutely horrid ingredient……miracle whip. But one time I made shrimp tacos, and something felt wrong about topping it with the traditional taco toppings. So, I…

  • Quick 2 Bean Salad

    Quick 2 Bean Salad

    Where I’m from, it gets hot. Like stupid hot. The kind of hot that makes you want to crawl into the freezer to get some relief. With the summer, comes a lack of appetite for my husband and I. It will get just so hot that we just don’t get hungry. That means I have…
