Day 2 would best be called Misadventures in Meal Prep! It was a disaster. Okay, disaster might be a strong word, but a lot went wrong. At the end of my prep on Saturday I realized I was 1 bag short of chicken so I had ordered some fresh chicken (it was $1.99/lb vs $2.33/lb). …
Saturday was the perfect day to meal prep! My husband and I made a plan for him to watch the kiddos so I could get everything done. I love to meal prep freezer meals because I love just taking something out of the deep freeze, throw it in the microwave or InstaPot and go about …
Picture a day that has been a hot mess day (almost every day in our house especially with everyone home and having been cooped up since March). All you want to do is take a few minutes to sit down but it’s 4 pm and you know you have to start getting dinner ready to …

One of my favorite things to do when I was growing up was cooking with my Mom. She taught me a lot of things and I still harbor a love of cooking. I mostly love to do baking (you know, sweets, desserts, all those things I can’t have while I’m pregnant because Gestational Diabetes). I …

Following along those lines, I thought I would do a post on getting deals/ways to save some money.
