From Coupon Queen to Frugal Healthy Housewife
There have been some questions voiced from you guys that I feel like I need to address. They come in all different formats, but they are basically all the same question. “How can you, former Queen of the Coupons, now eat healthy without breaking the bank? Didn’t your budget suffer?” It’s a thought provoking question that I’ve been thinking on for a while. So, I hope this post will make sense to you and maybe help you understand how I’ve made this HUGE switch. [Read more…] |
Sugar Detox Challenge – Week Two
Well, we made it through week one. It wasn’t bad at all. I find that even after a week, I’m not craving sugar as much as I used to. Also, I’ve not had any sodas for several weeks, so maybe that helps. Research proves that diet soda makes you crave sweets….and I could really knock back the diet soda y’all. BUT, I was nervous to get my next email. I was afraid it was going to be something super drastic and my family would call the looney bin to get me admitted. They have threatened it in the past. Of course week two continues eliminating the High Fructose Corn Syrup, but it also adds that now I should eliminate Corn Syrup as well. Good thing I did that right along with the HFCS. They are different. Who knew? Better safe than sorry. [Read more…] |
Crock Pot Beans and Rice
We really love beans and rice……rice and beans. And it’s not because they’re cheap either. We just really love beans…..and rice. It’s just a nice perk that they’re cheaper than meat. We have beans at least one night per week and sometimes more than that. If you eat here, more than likely you’ll have beans or pasta. Wanna come to dinner? I attempted to set out and create my own beans and rice recipe just for the crock pot……and the result was good. There were a few changes I’ll make next time, but I’ll note those for you. I mess up a lot – so therefore I make lots of recipe notes. It’s how I roll. [Read more…]
Mom’s Salisbury Steak
When I came home from the hospital with Annie, I was hungry. I stayed hungry the entire time I breastfed her. I ate more when I breastfed than when I was pregnant. When my mom asked what I wanted her to bring over to eat, this was the dish I asked for. And I wanted to eat it all……but I shared with Barry. Now, that’s love. This isn’t your normal Salisbury Steak. It’s topped with barbecue sauce and I LOVE it! It makes great fixings for a sandwich too. Yum. I’m hungry. [Read more…] |
Kefir Ice Cream
We love kefir ice cream in this house! I’m always looking for good, nutritional ways to use my kefir. I came across the recipe for kefir ice cream on Tammy’s Recipes website (one of my favorites!) It’s so good that when we run out, I make more. And the combinations are endless! I hope to keep adding kefir recipes for you guys. Check out the smoothie recipe here in case you missed it. I love giving Annie something that is a treat, and yet good for her. The probiotics are great and it’s a good way to get in your calcium for the day. Okay, so who am I fooling? I don’t make this for Annie. I make it for me. There – I confessed. [Read more…] |
