Christmas Dinner Party

Christmas Dinner Party by Enter your display name

I'm not even going to get into the lack of posting. Everything is fine, other than I can't stick to a commitment...at all :) Instead, I'm moving on to more positive things! My un-committed butt had a dinner party. I stressed, of course, but I think everything went pretty well :) Here are some pictures of the table as well as my…

Veggie Chicken Soup

Veggie Chicken Soup by Enter your display name

I love having soup for lunch. It's so easy for me to make a batch of soup and freeze it into individual portions. If I do this often enough, then I have a pretty big selection of soup to choose from in the freezer. It is way way cheaper that buying cans from the store. It's also healthier and yummier :) I know many people aren't…

No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake by Enter your display name

I made this for a barbeque that we had on Saturday and it was so good and easy! It had a great strawberry taste and didn't feel quite as heavy as a normal cheesecake. Not that I've really had a problem with heavy desserts before....but. Ugh. Well, you know what I mean.Ingredients:Directions:Mix graham crackers, butter, and 1/4 cup…

Asian Spring Rolls

Asian Spring Rolls by Enter your display name

Since I was a little "overstuffed" from all the holiday eating I have been doing I decided to make something a little lighter for dinner last night. These are something I have made before and we always eat them up. I like them because it uses up some leftover veggies in the fridge and also because they don't take a lot of time. I…

WFMW ~ Chicken Stock

WFMW ~ Chicken Stock by Enter your display name

One of the biggest money savers in our house is making homemade chicken stock. I make a lot of soups and other things that require chicken stock and it is very expensive to buy. I know there are a lot of recipes out there for making stock...but really I just throw a bunch of things into a giant pot and boil away. Good enough for…

Baked Macaroni with Chicken

Baked Macaroni with Chicken by Enter your display name

I used to make this all the time, because it's one of my husband's favorite. However, I kind of forgot about it and haven't made it in a long time. I made it last night though and it was very tasty! I wouldn't say that it is incredibly flavorful but I like it because it's really comforting. Also, it's a breeze to make and pretty…

One word: YUM! I made these a over the weekend and they were so delicious! I modified a recipe from Martha Stewart, which you can find here. I didn't have cake flour and also didn't need 28. I frosted these cupcakes in cream cheese frosting, because that's my favorite. Martha did hers in 7-minute frosting. I would imagine…

Shrimp Etouffee

Shrimp Etouffee by Enter your display name

I made this last night and it was so good!! I have made it in the past, but as with most recipes, I forgot about it. It worked out perfect because I had tons of frozen peppers from the summer and a bag of onions I wanted to use up. If you want to keep the recipe a little more frugal, just add more veggies and less shrimp. Also, I…

Menu Plan 5/18 - 5/23 by Enter your display name

I had the best weekend!! On Saturday morning 5 of my girlfriends and I left for Detroit for a friends bachelorette party. We went to an 80's nightclub and it was so much fun! The bar came complete with a giant dancefloor, disco ball, and plenty of Blondie. It was a mix of all ages including an 80 year old man who could dip better…
