Grocery Shopping – Saving Money & Haul

Hey Friends, Today I wanted to talk about Grocery Shopping and how we are saving money on our grocery bill (not using coupons).  Let me just start by saying, food is expensive and if you’re not careful your grocery bill can be a runaway freight train. For us, it seemed like I could never get a handle on the amount of money we were spending on food or if that was just going to be the norm on what it cost to feed…

Egg Muffins with Bacon & Hashbrowns

I’m always short on time during the week to make my breakfast after I already made breakfast for the kids. With these make-ahead Egg Muffins with Bacon and Hashbrowns, I’ve been eating breakfast every morning! I got the idea from Starbucks and made them mine by adding in some of my favorite ingredients. Making them yourself will save you a lot of money at the Starbucks register and they will taste even better! They’re so simple to whip together on a…

Day In The Life (1-25-19)

Hi friends, today I want to share a Day in the Life (1-25-19) edition! I haven’t done this type of post in almost 2 years, can you believe that!?!

Shredded Taco Chicken – Instant Pot

Since I purchased my Instant Pot back in the FAll, Shredded Taco Chicken is one of my go-to recipes. What’s great about making a big batch of shredded chicken is you can use the shredded chicken to help you make a few different dinners for the week. Here are a few lunch/dinner ideas: tacos, tostadas, chicken quesadillas, chicken enchiladas, chicken burritos, chicken burrito bowls, chicken for on top of a salad, chicken salad sandwiches, chicken for casserole recipes…I mean the list can go on…
