I love spring. The flowers and buds on the trees make me long for summer. However, it’s still pretty cold most of the time where I live. If you’re like me, you love having something hot to eat on those cool, spring nights. If I have some hot chocolate and stew or soup and a fire in the fireplace, I’m a happy camper. And with this recent recession, I’m all about saving...

All the hot fruit dishes...

This week, I’m focusing my efforts on saving you money. I have published budget friendly menus in the past, but some people are having trouble finding them. This week is definitely one of the cheaper menus I’ve published. Remember that saving money means making more food from scratch and spending a little more time cooking. However, it also means more homemade goodness in every...

Free menus are ready to go. Print out the menus and shopping lists and go shopping for the week. The pages match the cookbook available on this page.

If you don’t have the...

It cleans the grill with steam and these cool...
