This is another repurposing recipe. When I say recipe, I really mean more like guidelines for making something you need to get rid of look good. See another post for another similar trifle. I had some leftover pound cake in the freezer and wanted to fix something with it and incorporate cheesecake….because who doesn’t likeContinue reading “Repurposing Food: Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle “

Mommy Review Monday: JanSport Big Student Backpacks
Prologue: I started this post on the first day of school and never finished it. So….I’m now finishing it in honor of the first day of the second six weeks. Can you say procrastination??? In honor of today being the first day of school, a review on a backpack seems appropriate. This is the secondContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: JanSport Big Student Backpacks”
Adventures with Four: Cheap Entertainment
10 million toys in our house…. And our kids choose to do this. It’s keeping them ALL entertained and out of the clothes I’m trying desperately to fold and put away. Hallelujah!
Icebox Oreo Pie
This is another one of my “throw together what you’ve got” recipes. A few weeks back I bought a couple of chocolate pie crusts off of the clearance rack and put them in the freezer. Cheapskate, frugal, thrifty. Call me what you want. I was glad I had them the day we decided to haveContinue reading “Icebox Oreo Pie”
Baked Parmesan Crusted Zucchini
I love zucchini any way it’s cooked. Growing up, my Grammy made the best fried zucchini. My mouth waters just remembering it. I rarely make it because the frying isn’t all that healthy and it’s also kind of a pain. I decided to take a stab at doing an oven baked, slightly-altered version with some freshContinue reading “Baked Parmesan Crusted Zucchini”
Spicy Zucchini Spaghetti with Turkey Meatballs
I’ve been planning to cook zucchini spaghetti for two months and never have actually done it, despite it being on the menu. Tonight I finally did since I had plenty of zucchini in the fridge to be used. I went into this not having a plan but I knew that I had to useContinue reading “Spicy Zucchini Spaghetti with Turkey Meatballs”
Grilled Sriracha Honey Chicken
Because I knew Garen Grillmaster was already going to be grilling Cilanro Ranch Chicken for us last night, I went ahead whipped some sauce up for him to cook some Grilled Sriracha Honey Chicken. Garen loves Sriracha…He puts it on an estimated 40% of his food, so when I saw the pin of Sweet Sriracha Chicken from KaceyContinue reading “Grilled Sriracha Honey Chicken”
Cilantro Ranch Chicken
This is another one of my thrown-together “using what I’ve got” recipes. I had a Sam’s club size container of sour cream. Usually, I only use sour cream with chicken in casseroles or crockpot dishes, so I was really going out on limb here deciding to grill it. I even broke one of my cardinalContinue reading “Cilantro Ranch Chicken”
Cooking with Kids: Ham and Cheese Croissants
Every Saturday that we are home lunch sneaks up on us and I’ve forgotten to plan anything. When this happens, I often think of the options of food we have leftover to be used or eaten. Imagine me standing in front of the fridge looking at my leftovers. Yesterday the kids were leaving to goContinue reading “Cooking with Kids: Ham and Cheese Croissants “
Repurposing Food: Berry Shortcake Parfait
Last night I made strawberry shortcake for dessert. And when I say I made strawberry shortcake, I mean Sam’s Club bakery made fresh pound cakes, which I sliced and served with fresh sliced strawberries, raspberries, and cool whip. Ok, I know it was lazy but it was still tasty and (best of all) easy. I digress. IContinue reading “Repurposing Food: Berry Shortcake Parfait”
