Today I was at a big box store and saw a pre-packaged Asian salad. I was about to buy it and then looked at the ingredients and realized I already had EVERYTHING at home! The packaged one also had added sugar and oils in it which I don’t necessarily need. So, I moved on knowing […]

Carnita’s and Sweet Potatoes
Today we worked all day on the upstairs, cleaning things up and adding a new wall to make a “hallway”. Fun stuff! This evening while Jim was working upstairs on things that I couldn’t help with, I was busy paying bills. We are trying to stick to our food budget and after taking a closer […]

The Masabaha had an amazing roasted pepper sauce on the […]
Breakfast time?…
So let me be clear. I am NOT a breakfast person. In fact I pretty much hate breakfast or should I say, I hate cooking or making anything to eat in the morning. I have been really good about making breakfasts ahead of time for Jim to eat in the mornings because I like him […]
