We don’t want to make our families miserable with bland meals, boring snacks, and not enough food in the house, but we must stay on budget. Lately when I see my bill […]

I don’t know about you, but my kitchen gets out of control quickly. It tends to become the dumping ground for school papers, newspapers, work papers, mail, art projects, etc. Recently, we’ve reorganized the pantry. We’ve cleaned out our refrigerator and freezer and now, let’s take a few minutes each day over the next week […]

Are beans and rice regular ingredients in your menu planning? Sometimes the combination can get boring and bland, but Fiesta Black Beans & Rice makes a great side dish or even the main course–just add a side salad.

Many years ago I read Thomas J. Stanley’s Millionaire Women Next Door: The Many Journeys of Successful American Businesswomen, and I had an aha moment. Chapter 17 in this book is titled, “Why not run the family office?”. Stanley wrote about Susan, a wife and mother who handled all of the financial tasks in her home, from […]

I have limited storage space in my kitchen for food, so keeping my small food cupboard neat & tidy is so important. Disorder equals disaster…at least in my kitchen. Food will be forgotten about and go uneaten or I end up buying duplicates and unnecessary ingredients. It doesn’t take much to organize your pantry and to […]
