Failure – BBQ Meatballs

B will eagerly tell you that sometimes I make bad meals. The flavors aren’t right, it wasn’t to our liking, it was too spicy, etc. But rarely do I ever BURN our dinner to a point that it’s inedible. I did just that last night. I have made BBQ meatballs in the crock pot several [......

Pita Pizzas

Despite the potential for disaster, last night’s dinner went OK. I didn’t get the beef and noodles we were supposed to have made. I forgot to pull the pitas out of the freezer before work. I didn’t cook up a pound of spicy sausage as I had anticipated doing. Once I thawed the pitas...

First Trip to Aldi

In all seriousness, the first time I went to Aldi, I spent $10 on groceries for our week. Granted, I utilized a lot of things from our pantry… I decided to set my budget at $60 for groceries (remember, dog and cat supplies do not count). I used HALF my budget the first week. Here’s [...]

Not letting this go

First, let me apologize to at least the ONE person I know of who is following me here. After I posted the Aldi thing, I starting doing a lot of research and decision making, and also went to points south to have Thanksgiving with my in-laws. I have made the leap. This week marks the [...]

Exciting Change (yes, already)

I work just a few miles from two different Aldi’s stores. So why haven’t I been shopping there? Because I always shop on Saturday, and I’m not at work on Saturday, and I don’t feel like going to the Big City to shop. I like going to the Big Town, because our bank is there [.....

Stir Fry Recipe

So this is my basic recipe for Stir Fry. Remember, I’m all about the easy! Stir Fry serves 4-6 (we always have leftovers for B to munch on) 1 lb steak, cubed, or stew meat (when I buy this from the store, I go over to the Manager’s Special section and buy the cheapest meat [...]

Steak

So in true form, I’ve already had to deviate from my meal plan. Luckily, I had deviated from it this weekend, so I had something to make! My husband is a carnivore. He loves meat. Plain and simple. The best way for me to satisfy that urge for him is to have steaks. But pulling [...]
