Happy 4 Years of Blogging to Me

October 31, 2012

Source: smells-like-home.com via Ayelet on Pinterest Four years ago I started this little blog on a Halloween afternoon after class one day in my little townhouse. I was engaged, and not a single one of my bridesmaids lived within even an hour of me. This was how I planned to communicate wedding ideas with them. By being a cheesy blogger. Somehow on that journey to marriage others found...

31 Days of Frugal Meals // Day 31 Taco Pasta

October 31, 2012

This is the last day of 31 Days! Can y'all believe it, I actually blogged on time for an entire month, and have an arsenal of meals to boot. We actually didn't repeat a single recipe this month, whoo hoo! I haven't made this recipe yet, but I will be making it next week, with just the two of us it has been hard to eat all these meals. I am still a few meals behind on the consumption front so we are...

A Bullet Point Update & a Knockoff North Face Jacket

October 29, 2012

This blog has been so chock (is that how you spell it?) full of recipes this month I haven't shared much from daily life. Easy for me, then again I am never sure what people find interesting around here anyway. One of my most read posts is one that I deem highly uninteresting myself. To each their own:)  - Thanks for 31 Days my little blog has seen massive growth lately. I've gained a few...

31 Days of Frugal Meals // Day 29 Taco Soup

October 29, 2012

I know I say I love every recipe I put up here this month, but honestly I do. I've only shared my favorite and one or two near misses. Misses because I didn't try them before posting! Taco soup is another favorite here. When it is just me I tend to leave the meat out to save money and it is just as filling, that is probably due to the large quantity of beans though. This is a great slow cooker recipe...

31 Days of Frugal Meals // Day 28 Mushroom Stroganoff

October 28, 2012

I feel like I'm running out of recipes, lucky for me there are only a few days left of frugal meals. I made this particular strognaff before 31 Days started and loved it. Jeremy even loved it! That says a lot for a healthier recipe. I made a few changes to make it a little cheaper, then again adding beef will add cost but quickly make it man friendly.  Mushroom Stroganoff Source: skinnytaste.com...

31 Days of Frugal Meals // Day 26 Pizza Bites

October 26, 2012

This is probably one of my favorite Sunday night recipes. It is way cheaper than regular pizza and I personally think it is a lot more fun to eat, Jeremy on the other hand is getting sick of it. I make these a lot of Sunday nights! A lot! I just love them, they're cheap, yummy, and super easy. Perfect meal in my book. Plus you can buy whole wheat canned pizza dough now so I don't have to make my own...

31 Days of Frugal Meals // Day 25 Kung Pao Chicken Tacos

October 25, 2012

This my friends is where the leftover chicken I have in the fridge and the tortillas from the taco soup are going. Didn't I tell y'all at the beginning of the month that saving ingredients for other recipes would occur? Yup, I did. Kung Pao Chicken Tacos is a Cooking Light recipe I found in this year's October issue when a friend of mine gave me a stack of magazines to thumb through. Food magazines are...

31 Days of Frugal Meals // Day 24 Spicy Chinese Noodles

October 24, 2012

Today's recipe came about when we were first married and Jeremy started doing P90X. He was seriously sticking to the diet and I couldn't stand the canned tuna smell, one day I broke out the recipe book and found the pasta love of my P90X dieting life. It took some serious playing around to perfect the recipe, they only gave the individual portion size in the book. I usually make my Stir Fry Cabbage...

31 Days of Frugal Meals // Day 23 Tortilla Soup

October 23, 2012

I've had Pioneer Woman's Tortilla Soup recipe saved in my blog feed for ages, but something about it just didn't have me convinced I should make it. Jeremy is weird about food, sometimes he is all for whatever I cook, others you'd think I was offering up tofu. Soup is one of those "tofu" foods. He is either totally game, or you'd think I laced it with arsenic.  Last week Jeremy tormented...
