My Thanksgiving Menu + Tips For Holiday Entertaining

Since Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year, I have put a lot of thought into what's going to be on my table this year. It is going to be, in a word, EPIC. I've already picked out my "fat pants" to wear after all the cooking is done and the chowing down begins! (But first, can I just say how weird it felt to type out "holiday entertaining"? For me, that sounds like something "adults" … [Continue reading...]

My Husband Put Me On A Diet…

...in advance of our life insurance physical this weekend. They'll be checking our blood pressure and cholesterol and all that good stuff, so my husband suggested we both take it easy this week on "bad food." Right when I start craving brownies, too. Hmph! So he made our meal plan. It is the most boring meal plan I have ever seen! LOL. But hey, he cares about us so who am I to judge? We went … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} Lick-The-Pot-Clean Shrimp Etouffee

When I tell you I licked the pot clean, believe me: I LICKED THE POT CLEAN. It was that good. *licks lips* I love a good seafood dish. I will make room in my budget for some crabmeat or shrimp with the quickness. Won't have any snacks all week but oh well. I love to eat. I modified this Paula Deen shrimp etouffee recipe this weekend in an attempt to save some money. Instead of heading out … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What’s For Dinner: October 29-November 4

I admit that lately my meal plans have been much less set in stone than they have in weeks past. I've been taking them as merely "suggestions" versus what we are absolutely having for dinner and that kind of defeats the whole purpose on why I even bother making a meal plan! So back to basics it is. Write the darn meal plan, go shopping for any ingredients I don't have, and then stick to the … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What’s For Dinner: October 21-October 28

This week I am going to challenge myself because I am NOT going to go to the store. I don't want to spend ANY money on groceries until October 29. We have a pretty stocked refrigerator and freezer and theoretically I *should* be able to get through the week with no problem. So here we go: Monday - Chicken enchiladas. I might have to go take a pregnancy test because I simply MUST have these … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What’s For Dinner: October 8-14

Whew! Last week still has me spinning. We had doctor's appointments, field trips, catching up on work I missed while I was on my trip, thesis interviews and meetings and class! Insane! I would like to cook a few more "nice" meals this week but still manage to keep it simple. I'll try to do some prep this weekend to help me out during the week. As always, I'll post my grocery totals to see how I … [Continue reading...]
