I had such a wonderful weekend in Seattle with my girlfriend Heather. I had no idea Seattle had such an awesome downtown- the shopping, the restaurants, the market! Fabulous! We live about 50 miles south of downtown so we haven’t had a chance to visit much since we moved here almost a year ago. I…
3 Minute Hot Beans & Cheese
My penny-pinching meal plan worked out well last week. I stayed within my budget and did not make any random trips to the grocery store. Yay me! I found that beans were the main staple of our diet this past week. This is what we ate several times this past week (between lunches and dinner)-…

I had unpacked several boxes…

So I had shrimp scampi with linguini on the menu last week and it turns out I was out of white wine! This rarely happens and I didn’t have time to drag all the kids out to get some SO I changed the pasta to this puttanesca style with the seafood which was in my…
My New Obsession & Meal Planning
So I have a funny story. My mother-in-law is a member of the Blue Star Mother’s Group, an organization for mothers of men and women serving or who have served in the Armed Forces. She is very active and it seems like a great organization. Several of the women in the group send my husband…
