putting the "her" back in motherhood
If you’re like me, you want three things. One, to feed your family healthy and delicious meals. Two, to not spend all day slaving over a hot stove accomplishing number one. And three… self-cleaning kitchens. Well, I can’t help you with the third thing. But I CAN recommend my 3 favorite simple healthy cookbooks to […]
I’m writing this “what I eat in a day on Trim Healthy Mama” post because some of you have asked me about it. One of the misconceptions I had about THM was that its devotees ate weird ingredients. That’s simply not true! Personally, I like reading “what I eat in a day” posts. (Especially those […]
One of the most important things I do to save money is consistently get dinner on the table, 7 nights a week. In this post I share a few tricks I use to cook dinner faster and easier. Eating out with a large family is expensive. We can easily drop a Benjamin any time we […]

This is some serious tightwaddy, folks. Yesterday I threw away a peanut butter jar with likely a teaspoon or two left clinging to the inside of the jar. I wish I had seen this post first! How to use up the last bit of peanut butter in the jar I LOVE the Asian peanut dressing […]
I appreciated this post by Penniless Parenting: Figuring out which meals really are cheapest for our family “Most people have all these misconceptions about what kinds of meals are cheapest and what kind are not, and I’ve discovered sometimes that what people thought was cheap wasn’t actually that cheap, and what people thought was expensive […]
Instead of posting meal plans with good intentions, I promised to post what we actually ate last week. Here goes. Sunday we ate at the Flip Burger Boutique, where I ate the leftover bits of burger from my little girls’ plates, and a Cobb salad (greens, bacon, Bleu cheese, tomatoes, hardboiled eggs). Both were amazing. […]
Recently I saw a discussion about ALDI on a social network. The chain seems to elicit two opinions: love and hate. Seriously, I do not understand the haters.
