Oatmeal Cookie Mix in a Jar
I shared this particular recipe on my Facebook page a few days ago and it was a big hit. I thought I’d post it here as well to make it easier to save it for later. You can pin it right from this post, print it, or bookmark the page. It’s a great little gift […]
Continue readingChicken Pot Pie
Good o’l fashioned chicken pot pie is always a favorite around here. And if you make it from scratch, it’s a very frugal meal. Get the cheapest cut of chicken you can and just cook it. I like getting a whole chicken, cook it in the crockpot and then use some of the meat for […]
Continue readingSpiced Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
I’m a big fan of oatmeal raisin cookies and make them throughout the year. Sometimes I leave the raisins out, sometimes I use chopped apple instead. In December though, I take things to another level with these holiday spiced oatmeal cookies. The spices and nuts take this from a rather plain cookie to something really […]
Continue readingEasy French Toast Casserole
My daughter loves French toast, but I don’t like the fact that when I make it from scratch, everyone eats while I’m frying up the rest of the toast. This casserole version is the perfect solution. It’s also a lot less messy than making regular French toast. The recipe is from the Breakfast Casseroles Kindle […]
Continue readingEasy Homemade Fudge
We love fudge around here. In the summer we head down to a local gift shop to sample some of their fudge, but around Christmas time, we like to get out our pots and pans and make up big batches of homemade fudge to eat and share. The recipe blow makes a big 5 pound […]
Continue readingStuffing Cakes With Turkey
Thanksgiving is over and we’re all starting to get a little tired of eating leftovers. It’s time to get creative and recombine ingredients to come up with something different and new. This year I started experimenting with stuffing cakes. Think of them as crab cakes with a Thanksgiving twist. Of course we’re keeping it frugal […]
Continue readingRoasted Brussel Sprouts With Bacon
Ready for a fresh take on Holiday vegetables? Here’s a recent favorite. I’ve been cooking this all fall and look forward to a new addition to the Thanksgiving table this week. If you like brussel sprouts and bacon, this is a great recipe to try. The recipe is from “A Fresh Take On Thanksgiving“, my […]
Continue readingCreamy Queso Dip
Since the last two recipes were so well received, I thought I’d share another one from the “My Best Dip Recipes” cookbook with you. This one is always a big hit at potlucks and of course when you have a bunch of people over to watch the ballgame. It’s a delicious and flavorful cheese dip. Cheese, […]
Continue readingCreamy Pumpkin Dip Recipe
I love a nice pumpkin pie, but don’t always feel like baking. This dip is a quick yummy snack that gives you the same sweet pumpkin flavor without the oven. It’s great served with fresh fruit or your favorite simple cookies. Perfect for the holidays when all you really want is a little bite of […]
Continue readingHoney Mustard Dip Recipe
Since it’s Football season (and Friday), I thought I’d share one of my favorite recipes from the “My Best Dip Recipes” cookbook with y’all today. This dip is great with cut up veggies, but to be honest, I love it with some fresh baked pretzels. Or try making up a batch to use as a […]
Continue readingCandy Corn Pretzel Bites
I have a confession to make. I have a weakness for Candy Corn. I usually try to make it until at least October before giving in and buying a bag. This year I didn’t quite make it. The third time of coming across it at the grocery store had me tossing it in the cart. […]
Continue readingIced Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe
As soon as September rolls around, I’m ready for fall and looking forward to one of my favorite fall treats – Pumpkin Spice Lattes. The problem is, I live in South Carolina and we still have temperatures in the 90s, making those PSL’s much less enjoyable. The solution? Iced pumpkin spiced latte of course! Last […]
Continue readingMake Your Own Pumpkin Spice Latte
Last fall I got addicted to all things pumpkin spice, particularly Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I don’t have to tell you that these tasty drinks can eat quite a whole in your purse if you head out and order them at your local coffee place. Add to that the fact that I’m eating clean and try […]
Continue readingPalačinky (Czech Crepes)
A Guest Post By Alice Seba From VegetarianLost.com (great blog to follow). When I was growing up, we had some pretty interesting things for dinner. We had these things that looked like donuts with a dollop of sour cream and jam on them. Other times, we had traditional Czech pancakes, called palačinky, that are more like what […]

One of the best things about fall is all the yummy pumpkin spice recipes. I shared my favorite pumpkin spice mix with you a few days ago and today would like to share a recipe that uses it. This makes a fantastic loaf of pumpkin bread. I love the added flavor and texture from the […]
