	Easy "Breezy" by Beth Anne Leach Easy "Breezy"It was a long weekend. Short, but yet, looooong....As in, I didn’t get nearly enough accomplished, but we had our fair share of stress and frustration.

	A Girls Night In with Mark Bittman for I Heart Cooking Clubs by Beth Anne Leach When I think of a Girls Night Out, I think of ditching the men, getting Barbie’d out and dancing our butts off in some too-loud bar that I am too old to be seen in.On the other hand, a Girls Night In is just as fun, without all the sweat, stress, and…	1 vote 684 views

	Love me Tender.....loin..... Spicy Orange BBQ Pork by Beth Anne Leach As much as I enjoy grocery shopping, there are weeks that I put off the weekly shopping trip day after day, trying to postpone the inevitable and hoping that I can pull just one more dinner out of the freezer. This has been one of those weeks. With the long weekend and the holiday throwing me off, our dinner routine has been a little…	1 vote 342 views
	S'more Krispy Treats by Beth Anne Leach There is a guy that I work with who is just a fool for a rice krispy treat. He even tried to institute a “rice krispy treat day” where we would take turns bringing in rice krispy treats every week on a specific day.Yeah well, that didn’t fly so well...BUT. His birthday is this weekend. So, in honor of the Krispy King himself, we…	1 vote 247 views

And cheap, too.If you’ve never done this, I highly recommend giving it a try. As much soup as I make over the fall and winter months, I go through a LOT of stock. At roughly $2.50 a box,…	1 vote 277 views
