Easy Rocky Road Candy

Easy Rocky Road Candy is a quick, fun gift from the kitchen that can be made in a flash! Perfect to make with your kids and as a gift for teachers and friends! I'm always astonished to find myself at the beginning of October thinking about the impending holiday season. It always sneaks up on me.

Peanut Butter Marbled Fudge

Marbled Fudge from EatinontheCheap.com

This time of year is rough on me. I struggle with it emotionally and physically. I'm talking of course about being surrounded by sweets 24/7. I'm struggling to physically get my butt into my pants and I'm struggling emotionally trying to convince myself to not eat all of the delicious sweets that I have surrounded myself with. I'm okay with it for now. January will be here ...

Pasta GIVEAWAY and Lemon Shrimp in a Spinach-Basil Pesto !!!

I am finally back from a long and wonderful vacation. While I was gone the springtime breezes turned into summer's sweltering heat. Heat like this means dinner will be much lighter fare for us. A light and flavorful pesto pasta dish fits the bill nicely. Lucky for me, Amalia from Garofalo Pasta sent me a free sample of their amazing pasta for me to try out. Now, one of the ...

No Knead Artisan Bread

No Knead Artisan Bread

Back during the 2008 recession, I slashed our grocery budget down to bare bones. At the time I was running on about a $70 per week budget that fed four of us (granted the kids at that time didn't eat much) and diapers. That meant I had to get real comfortable making my own bread. For a good period of time, I became somewhat obsessed with breadmaking and this no-knead artisan ...

How to Make Homemade Strawberry Jam

How to Make Homemade Strawberry Jam

I have a lot of childhood memories related to strawberry jam. My parents owned a business that involved suppling lots of factories with nuts and bolts and stuff. For Christmas, my mother and I would give all the workers a basket full of cookies, candies and strawberry preserves. They had lots of customers and during the summer, we made LOTS of preserves. 20-30 cases I think. We ...

The Money is in the Mixes – Homemade Mixes

Homemade Mixes

When I go shopping, I shop mostly for items that are versatile and can be used in a variety of different recipes for a variety of different dishes ( except for the training pants I still buy, which are only good for one thing). I also try to spend as little as possible while still being reasonably healthy. But like most people in the world I am also busy ( or lazy on occasion) ...

Bad Excuses and Butter Bars

It's been a long time. Too long. I could give you all kinds of excuses. I could tell you that I lost my part-time gig and had to pick up the slack ( and a couple extra side jobs) to make our ends meet; I could tell you that my kids had their first big birthday party for their 3rd birthday last month at the house,; I could mention that it's nearly Christmas and we all know what ...
