Elizabeth posted this in Meal Planning on March 18th, 2009 Well, I missed Menu Monday again. I am just so busy on Mondays with all the emails that come in over the weekend! And since my husband gets paid every other Wednesday, I’m not thinking about a new weekly meal plan until Wednesdays. For this week, I’m using one of THE BEST ways to plan [...]
Elizabeth posted this in Four Foods on Friday on March 13th, 2009 Here are this week’s questions: #1. Olive oil. What kind do you prefer to use? We buy Meijer brand, I think it’s just ‘regular’ olive oil. I know, I know, I should be using extra virgin olive oil or EVOO as Rachael Ray calls it!
#2. Meatballs. Do you make them from scratch, buy premade [...]

In yesterday’s post I wrote about how my doctor suggested I use the Alli plan to lose weight. In order for Alli to work the way it is supposed to, it’s imperative to follow the calorie/fat guidelines. If you eat too much fat and take Alli, you are going to have “side [...]
Elizabeth posted this in Four Foods on Friday, Snacks on February 20th, 2009 I’ve got a “sick” kid at home today, I am one of those total pushover Moms that if they sit there looking all pathetic in the morning, I say “aww, why don’t you stay home today?”. Teachers love me. Here are this week’s FFoF questions!
#1. Potato chips. Flavored? Regular, ridged or stacked? I LOVE [...]
Elizabeth posted this in Beef, Four Foods on Friday on February 13th, 2009 This week’s questions are about your kitchen utensils, dishes, and an easy recipe. Here we go!
#1. Are your Kitchen utensils nylon, silicone, wood or other?
I use an ancient set of black nylon utensils that I bought in a set at Target. I do really love my silicone spatula that Food buzz sent me [...]
Elizabeth posted this in Meal Planning on February 11th, 2009 I’ve decided that for now, I’m not going to be doing Menu Monday, because my husband gets paid on Wednesdays, so I plan our new menus to start then. It just makes more sense for me to plan from Wednesday to Tuesday!
For this week’s meals, I’m using some new recipes that I picked up [...]
Elizabeth posted this in Casseroles, Pasta on February 4th, 2009 My copy of The Betty Crocker Cookbook is at least 13 years old, I know I got it before Ryan was born. It’s a softcover edition too, so I have to be really careful when I open it so the spine doesn’t break. There have been new editions put out since then of course, but [...]
Elizabeth posted this in Beef on January 10th, 2009 I didn’t think it was possible to improve on the All-American Burgers recipe that I usually use, but the last time I made them, I discovered we were out of a key ingredient, Worcestershire sauce. I needed something that would provide moisture and flavor, so I used Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce instead. You can [...]
Elizabeth posted this in Beef, Crockpot on January 10th, 2009 I saw this recipe linked on I’m an Organizing Junkie‘s Menu Monday post for last week, and after clicking through to read the recipe, it sounded so good I decided to make it today. It’s in the crockpot right now, so I’ll have to post again to let you know how it turned out! The [...]
Elizabeth posted this in Baking on December 30th, 2008 I subscribe to the Hungry Girl newsletter, and in a recent mailing, she mentioned that Pillsbury’s Thin Crust Pizza Dough was the same dough as their Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls. Which makes me wonder how many different kinds of dough they really make, you know?
So anyway, I had a can of the Thin Crust [...]
