Time and Money Saving Kitchen Tips

On January 22, 2010, in Budget-wise, In the Kitchen, by Glenda Embree

This page will grow over time.  It’s going to be a place for excellent ideas and tidbits that don’t really merit their own full blog, but are too good not to share. #1 Green Onion Tops for Free! I saw this tip on the Food Network (my secret obsession).  They were having a competition to [...]

Great Frugal Blog!

On January 21, 2010, in Budget-wise, by Glenda Embree

I have made a new discovery during the Eat from the Pantry Challenge.  It has to be one of my all-time favorite frugal blog sites.  This homeschooling mom has shopping tips that will help you slash your grocery budget, as well as save on your clothes and household decorating.  I love her everyday frugal common [...]

“Roast Beast”, Crockpot Chicken and Brownies

On January 19, 2010, in Budget-wise, In the Kitchen, by Glenda Embree

Well today is day 8 of our challenge and I haven’t blogged in a few days.  I have been taking pictures along the way and so, will cover the highlights.  Saturday my awesome husband brought take-out pizza, so I didn’t have to cook anything at all for supper! What a nice break. Sunday, I made [...]

Spicy Chinese Chicken

On January 13, 2010, in Budget-wise, In the Kitchen, by Glenda Embree

It’s Day 3 of the Eat from Your Pantry Challenge and I decided to try a new recipe.  We eat quite a bit of chicken and I am always looking for a new way to fix it.  This turned out to be delicious and as tasty as anything we’ve eaten in a Chinese restaurant.  I [...]

Eat from the Pantry: Days 1 & 2

On January 13, 2010, in Budget-wise, In the Kitchen, by Glenda Embree

We’ve completed the first two days of the Eat from the Pantry Challenge.  We didn’t do anything especially earth-shattering — just simple, comfort food that is easy to prepare.  No one gets too excited about eating since they aren’t feeling well, so I haven’t felt a huge level of pressure to be terribly creative, yet. [...]

Eat From the Pantry Challenge

On January 10, 2010, in Budget-wise, In the Kitchen, by Glenda Embree

Wow!  I sure have missed all of you!  Wouldn’t you know that as soon as the holidays hit, our entire family, (Yes, all five of us at once.) were hit with a ridiculously long-lasting and “knock-us-off-our-feet” bug of some sort.  I am stir-crazy and still fighting the cough and congestion, but actually walking around and [...]

Another Christmas Idea: “The Pioneer Woman Cooks”

On November 20, 2009, in Budget-wise, In the Kitchen, Reviews, by Glenda Embree

Some of you have already heard me mention The Pioneer Woman.  She has one of my all-time favorite blogs about homeschooling, photography, cooking and just life in general.  She’s homey and personal and “real”.  I believe I could share an iced tea or a Coke with this woman and trade stories at the kitchen table.  [...]

Coupon Codes for Christmas Savings

On November 12, 2009, in Budget-wise, by Glenda Embree

I am not the stereotypical female shopper.  As a matter of fact, the other females in our family hate shopping with me.  I am DEFINITELY not a window shopper.  I like to know what I’m going for, go in and get it, and get back out.  –  lol  –  Not much fun for die-hard shoppers. [...]

Lentil Rice Casserole – Deliciously Simple Dinner and a Wonderful, Frugal Gift

On November 11, 2009, in Budget-wise, In the Kitchen, by Glenda Embree

Most of you know by now that we moved a little over a month ago. Of course all the essentials have long been unpacked, but there are still boxes in my loft (and I mean dozens of boxes) filled with books. These include my cookbook collection.  Yesterday afternoon, I cracked one open and was excited [...]

Fun and Frugal Christmas Gifts!

On November 10, 2009, in Budget-wise, by Glenda Embree

Yes, there are only 44 days left, but no worries, you’ll be fine.    Instead of stressing over the gifts, planning and shopping, remember to take the time to enjoy friends and family and celebrate the gift of Jesus.  It’s easy to get caught up in the world’s frenzy this time of year, but you [...]
