So the first two recipes are ones I thought of when I found the grocery list. The first is a recipe that is perfect when you have some time to spend in the kitchen. Brandied Beef and Noodles is a great dinner to share with that someone special or when you really want to WOW your guests. It's not a "Martha Stewart" dinner, but it is a very nice meal. I like to serve it with a side of vegetables and green beans are perfect for this. I usually steam my beans for 5 minutes and then toss them with ... << MORE >>

Vonnie,
I found this recipe buried deep in my collection and thought of your grocery list. I love this website. I can't wait until there are alot more recipes.The casserole recipe is from a favorite cookbook of mine. I changed a few things to make it work  (the oringinal recipe called for cooked turkey or chicken) . The mashed potato recipe is one my mother used to make for Sunday dinner when I was a child. Hope everyone enjoys this as much as my family did.
I used:

Good morning!
I am so excited about the new grocery list. I found it this weekend while I was at the Eastern Market in downtown Detroit. If you live close by, you should really head down on Saturday mornings. It's a great place to be!  And an absolute visit to Supino's for the BEST pizza is a must!! Kerry, Lynne and I pigged out on a large. DEVINE is the only word to describe our lunch.There aren't as many vendors this time of year, but nonetheless some really good deals.

Happy Vaentine's Day!
Enjoy spending time with the one's you love.
This is one of my favorite Vaentine's menus. I made it for Mark Valentine's Day 1994 ( sometimes it pays writing notes in my cookbooks!) I was very pregnant with Maddie, Chris was 4, and Taylor was 2. The boys and I cut out 100 hearts and wrote all the things we loved about Mark on them. We taped the hearts to the door so when Mark got home from work he would see them. Then we sat down and enjoyed ... << MORE >>

Here we go with this week’s grocery list.

Remember try to use at least 3 items from the list for your recipes. Send your favorite dishes for your ingredients or something you read that sounded yummy! Also, if you can’t come up with something on your own keep websites like www.funnyspoon.com in mind. You can type in your ingredients and they will give you recipes to try.

Good luck and happy cooking.

Since my last blog a lot has gone on in my world. 

After six and a half very long months, my husband Mark found a job. Thank God!  We were unfortunately part of the American statistics of mass unemployment in the U.S. It was and continues to be a very trying time for our family. We had to use our savings to survive over that long time, and now we need to work hard to rebuild that security.

One of the ways of cutting costs in our monthly budget was to eliminate our entertainment budget. That meant no more dinners out.  ...<< MORE >>
