Recently I got a reader request for a post about eating healthy on a budget, specifically including tips for grocery shopping. Lots of bloggers have written posts about this topic but I thought it might be fun to do one of my own! So here we go: 1.  Plan, plan, plan. -Never go to the […]

Recently, I cooked up a whole bag of black beans to restock my freezer supply. Usually I try to undercook them just a bit because when I add them to different dishes, they tend to cook a bit more. However, I accidentally overcooked this batch a little bit. They’ll still be fine, and I still […]

For my last birthday, my sister got me this cookbook.

Last night I set out to change mine up from the usual by making them Mexican-inspired. I started by preparing the zucchini. Simply slice them in half lengthwise and […]

Last night’s recipe was another that just kinda popped into my head randomly. I have no idea where it came from! I pulled some meatballs out of the freezer on Sunday without giving any real thought to how I would use them…and when I woke up Monday morning, I had a plan. Baked ziti was […]
