We love cooking, but we don’t love grocery shopping. Can I get an amen? First of all, grocery shopping can be a chore. Second, if you open your wallet afterward, little dust bunnies float out because it is empty. Not fun. That’s why recipes with a handful of ingredients are the best – you don’t […]
When a recipe has been passed down for generations, you can bet that it’s trustworthy. Old-fashioned recipes are time-tested and Grandma-approved. Best of all, they usually remind you of your childhood – when Grandma would actually make them for you! The recipe that makes me most nostalgic is probably my family’s beef stew and biscuits […]
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 […]
Aunt Bee’s Dump and Bake Beef Stew is an easy comfort food dump dinner that you can throw together in just minutes. Full of nutritious and hearty ingredients, it’s a great way to get a meal on the table when you don’t have time to cook! Hi, friends! I’m so glad to be stopping by again […]
You can never have too many cheap and easy casserole recipes in your wheelhouse (aka your recipe book). They make for the best weeknight dinners as well as potluck-pleasers. They’re so simple to throw together that, even if I’ve had a long and tiring day at work, I always have enough energy to whip up […]
It’s no secret that pretzels make for the best snacks. They’re just the perfect amount of salty that they could be paired with pretty much anything. Savory dips, sweet chocolate, other salty snacks… So many things. I have a habit of always having at least one bag of pretzels in my pantry. Twists, rods, sticks… […]
Up until a few years ago, I was completely blind to the magic that are Bisquick recipes. I never thought to make anything but pancakes with Bisquick (and trust me when I say that I used to make a lot of Bisquick pancakes). How did I not realize that I could make practically everything under […]
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 […]
Trying to save money on grocery and meals? Have you ever considered participating in “Meatless Monday”? Pretty much all meatless meals can make for delicious Meatless Monday recipes. It honestly sounds more difficult to do than it is. If you think about it, you probably eat at least one meatless meal a week already. It’s […]
Chipotle (and, by extension, Chipotle copycat recipes) is the one of the best things that has happened to me within the last ten years or so. Honestly. Before Chipotle came into my life, all I really knew were local Mexican restaurants (whose food rocks) and Taco Bell (which is really great when you want Mexican […]
