Recipes
My frugal saving tips include quick easy dinner recipes using ingredients that I get by using coupons, shopping farmers markets, clearance isles, and by shopping strategically online. Easy home cooking recipes include dinners, simple lunches and breakfast options that are both frugal and tasty. I strive to bring my readers lunch recipes kids will actually eat, and quick easy breakfast that you can grab while running out the door. By easy I mean things that do not take more than 30 minutes to make, and easy quick dinner recipes are always simple with no complicated directions or ingredients to go searching for. Since this is a lifestyle blog, occasionally you will find adult drink recipes and homemade things like bread, granola and cheese tutorials. Throughout my blog you will find grocery shopping tips to save money so that you are able to stretch your food budget while always having food in the fridge and cupboards. This frugal family does not believe in eating a lot of boxed ingredients or highly processed foods. We prefer simple home cooked meals that are minimally processed, but from time to time you will find meal ideas using boxed goods and top brands.

White Matcha Tea Cookie Recipe
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. When you think of Matcha you think of green tea but Red Leaf Tea company has done something exciting with their Matcha by creating a Matcha using white tea leaves that created a lovely White Matcha Tea that is so good!

Matcha is worth more then just in a tea cup and I got to thinking why not create something for Easter that the kids would enjoy and still get the health benefits from. If you didn’t…

Turkey Pot Pie From Thanksgiving Leftovers – Good Cook Leftover Recipe #44
Good Cook gave us a challenge to turn out Thanksgiving leftovers into a usable recipe. I chose to make a classic – Turkey Pot Pie using leftover pie crust, turkey wings, our veggie tray leftovers and a few slices of sharp cheddar cheese leftover from out bread and cheese tray. The result is amazingly good. It seems like the most unused portion of the turkey is always the wings. No one eats them so they are always left over. Thing is, those wings have a lot of meat on them and shouldn’t go to waste. So my pot pie focused on using that leftover wing meat.
