Since we are stranded at the house for at least a few days with the truck down, I decided to make lunch. Nothing too fancy, since I am making a big meal for dinner tonight, but I still used the stove and the toaster! Aren't you...

Last night before bed, I asked my little one what she felt like for dinner. I was planning to use some hamburger meat, so I suggested either cheeseburgers or sloppy joes. She went for the sloppy joes! We usually have fries with...

In an effort to not waste leftovers and to get the dishes out of the fridge so I can wash them, I pulled the rest of the taco meat out of the fridge. I used two tortillas, a scoop of refried beans, the last bit of taco meat and...

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169585) • United States 3 Feb 21

I had a couple of chicken breasts cooked, but they were very bland. I cut them into slivers, and poured a can of tomatoes with green chilis over them. (Like Rotel brand) and added some zesty chili lime salad dressing to them...

It is So Worth It

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169585) • United States 21 Aug 16

Hubby and I have talked about eating out less, and for the most part we are making good strides, and it is so worth it. One reason we ate out often was that we bought gift cards, in order to boost our bonus fuel points from the...

Eat alone at home or outside,which one do you prefer?

yenwie84 @yenwie84 (1344) • Malaysia 6 Aug 08

I always choose to take away food and eat at home if I am alone. It's boring to eat alone with no company especially when I am eating outside. I just eat and look around people. There is nothing much I can do to kill my time. When...

Do you want to save money, and be healthier?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169585) • United States 29 Jan 07

You might even lose weight. Stop eating out. Admit it, food cooked at home is more to your taste, and is healthier. Try keeping track for one month of what you spend on out to eat food, multiply that by 12, and see what you could...
