This Week’s Dinners: Saturday: Ham loaf, cheesy broccoli rice baked potatoes, homemade sugar-free applesauce. Have you heard of ham loaf? It might be a central PA thing, but we LOVE it.

While I would love to stick with the $500 budget–it makes life a little easier–I really need to tighten the belt this year to help us hit our debt payoff goals. Selfishly, […]
