Summer Risotto

Ok... this one is really yummy. I couldn't decide whether to eat it now or save it for a rainy day. Not sure if rice freezes well but I hope so. I made a dish for us with some left over ham and two little dishes for Keegan that we can heat and serve with fresh veggies. This is a must have.

Sweet Treat! Amish Friendship Bread

I am all done with cooking for the day. I'm ending it with the amish friendship bread that just came out of the oven. This is delicious. I just wish it wasn't so late so I could slice up a piece with a scoop of icecream. I guess there is always tomorrow. Well it has been a long day of cooking for me but I feel pretty good about the goal I set for myself. When it is all said and done I put four meals in the freezer & have yummy fresh baked bread. I have more ideas for tomorrow but I'll have to see if I still have the itch to cook. Goodnight.

Quick Chicken & Noodle Soup

I just love this simple quick soup recipe. There is just something so hearty & warm about chicken noodle soup.

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

These looked so good that I made an extra batch to eat for dinner tonight.

Tator Tot Casserole

So easy even I could make it.

Yummy Sloppy Joes

This is so easy. Thank you to Grandma Garner for showing me how to make these simple yummy sloppy joes.

A goal for this month

Ok... so after balancing the checkbook after February I realized that we spent way way too much money on food last month.  We make a weekly trip to Costco to pick up things that can fill our fridge and freezer.  On top of that I always stop at Albertsons on my way home for those things that you happened to forget or just need.  I for some reason have stopped making the trip to Winco where I can get groceries much cheaper than Albertsons, but it just seems we go over our budget at Costco and so we never make it to Winco.  Then once we have done all the grocery shopping we find reasons to not cook and eat out instead.  What the heck!! This makes no sense.  So we talked about it at the beginning of March and we are going to make it a goal not to eat out this month.  We already cheated once, the day we decided that we wouldn't do it, but we went to OMSI and Red Robin that day.  So that was our treat for the month.  I know we can do it.  We just have to be prepared.  Cooking isn't that hard, RIGHT!!!  I think this is what stems my desire to be cooking right now.  Which I made the trip to the grocery store and just have to get organized to get cooking.  I wonder how much money we will save.  I will let you know.  Let me know if you have any good recipes.
