Hey Friends, I know it's been quite some time since I last posted. A few changes have taken place which has affected my free time. It wasn't already limited, to begin with, right. Well, moving forward my family has decided to let go of meat and dairy, and become vegetarians, possibly...

Good Evening Friends, The other night my husband worked a late shift and I didn't feel like cooking a full course meal for my kids who would rather eat pizza. Sigh. So here we are. I usually make 2 medium sized pizzas but this day I decided to split the two into four. My kids enjoyed making...

Freezer meals are gifts we give ourselves for those days we need to get up and go without a second thought. For those days we wake up late and have 15 minutes to get the kids to school or even just get ourselves ready for work/school. Yea we've all been there. It's always good to have a planner...

We all plan meals and don't even realize it. When we get hungry, we walk into the kitchen, open the fridge and look in it to see what we can find to eat. Sometimes we'll stand in the fridge a few times until a miracle happens or a meal idea magically pops up. A lot of the time we have all the ingredients...
