Frugally yours, for the Holidays.
I read a great post on Things I Can’t Say yesterday. I love reading what Shell writes, I like to think that we’d be coffee or wine friends if we lived in the same state. I think that about more than a few people, but I’m way friendly and super social in my imagination. Anyhooo…. …
Bitchin’ Shepherd’s Pie
I was once again inspired by Bitchin’ Kitchen. We had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday, filled with lots of family, lots of together time and (for me) lots of cooking. We had dinner out on Wednesday night, I was thrilled and fortunate to meet a new friend. My husband’s childhood friend. We had dinner with Melissa …
Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope all my wonderful friends have a great Thanksgiving! I am thankful for every one of you. Thank you for being you! I’m off celebrating the holiday with my family. If you’ve made a turkey, don’t forget to make turkey stock with it after you remove all the meat from the bird. Place the …

Olive Garden has this amazing soup. …

Pumpkin Chips? This week in Fail……
Yes, I said pumpkin chips. Crisp and chewy….strange And I said FAIL. I’m down to two pumpkins left. Can you believe it? I decided to try something different with this pumpkin. After an evening of dinner failure, that resulted in a dinner out. Okay, that deserves more of an explanation. I planned to make a …
Savvy Shopping, Grocery Style
I have not written as much about savvy shopping as I intended to. I bought 60 items. I spent $111.25 and I saved $116.76 which is 51%. That breaks down to about $1.85 per item. Here is what I bought. Items I intend to donate are marked in Blue 2 turkeys (one 10 pound smoked …
Why I love blogging, Thankfulness this Wednesday.

She writes about books, vegan food and her life @ Forgotten Beast. Allie made a fabulous frog hat for Halloween. I …
