Sometimes, we like to get crazy in the kitchen. And when we say crazy, we don’t mean adding an extra scoop of ice cream to our dessert after dinner. Crazy means completely throwing out the recipe book and starting from scratch. We’re talking cakes made from scratch without eggs, milk, or butter! Eggs, for crying out loud! Now, […]
Anybody who’s made the decision to eat ramen noodles as a meal knows that while ramen can be oddly comforting, there’s not a lot going on flavor-wise. The little beef or chicken flavor packets that come with ramen only do so much. If you’re going for budget-friendly meals, ramen noodle recipes are a staple. Just […]
Mom is a superhero when it comes to prioritizing. She knows that making a home-cooked meal takes time that could be spent helping with homework or having fun together. It’s not always the best option to spend all evening in the kitchen – and sometimes she doesn’t want to. Whether it’s Mom or someone else […]
This is the third (and last) post in our series of easy potato recipes! Check out the other recipes at the bottom of the post! Sure, mashed potatoes are great. But, smashed potatoes? Ahhh-MAZING.

I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ll say it again: In general, I’m a really lazy cook. If I have a chance to make a dessert recipe with cake mix instead of doing it fully from scratch, I’m taking it. I’m not really afraid to admit that I take the same kind of shortcuts with everything […]
Just because we’re not millionaires doesn’t mean we can eat like them, right? Just because they have more money than we do doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy a few million dollar dessert ideas. I want to let you in on a little secret: Million dollar desserts are, most times, super cheap to make. I’m […]
I’m a big believer in simplicity. I try to keep everything I do as simple as possible. I speak my mind as clearly as possible, try to keep my house clean and uncluttered, and I live for easy Amish recipes and crafts. As much as I love technology and freak out when I can’t find […]
When it comes to budget-friendly meals and ingredients, you really can’t beat cabbage. Seriously though. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of cabbage being a “high class” dish or ingredient. Ever.
