As I’ve mentioned before the recipes posted on this blog are ones we use on a regular basis. Occasionally there’s a special one thrown in. But for the most part the meals are simple and inexpensive. The Hubster is a part time teacher and part time pastor…very respected professions but with meager incomes. Part of…

This post is copied from a family blog post from over 2 years ago. My 3 year old saw this in the Taste of Home magazine and asked me to make it for her for her birthday. Since her birthday isn’t until March I would probably lose the picture or clipping so I decided to…

If you’re like me and totally not like Ms. Stewart then you have days that you don’t want to actually create a meal or have the money to order something to be delivered. I have what I call my “Go-To’s”; my quick fixes that are a no-brainer and easy on the budget. I stock up…

I’ve tried pie crust recipes with lard, I’ve tried them with butter, but they haven’t come out quite as nice as with Crisco shortening. I like using lard but they’re a bit more difficult to roll out. Might just be my personal issue, but I’ll stick with what works for me. If you have a…
