Okay, these are pretty easy. Considering I was able to make them all by myself and they turned out good the first try, they're easy. I thought the maple syrup thing would make them taste gross, (I'm only a fan of maple syrup on certain occasions) but they were good too!Ingredients:1 cup coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts1/2 cup maple syrup3 cups all-purpose flour1/4 cup granulated sugar1 pckg quick-rising active yeast1 teaspoon salt1 cup warm water (120-130 degree F)6 tablespoons softened butter,...

This post might be a no-brainer, but bear with me here. I am reading more and more in the news about how eating out hits your pocketbook. I have to laugh, because anyone with a large family (and a good deal of small families too) know this. However, the bottom line is that the drive-thru is still a convenience many people turn to and it can truly derail a budget. There are ways to eat-out...

Okay, So this isn't a recipe, I just wanted to tell you a storyOn the way to Utah, I was playing Aaron's i-pod and listening to, of course, Neil Diamond. And there is a song called "crunchy granola suite"Cailey and I were at the grocery store, and I saw good granola bars on sale, so when I picked them up, I started doing a little dance in the aisle and singing "Let me hear that, let me near that crunchy granola SUITE!!"I tried to find the meaning of the lyrics, and guess what!?...nobody knows.P.S....

I am no expert shopper, but I do have a few tricks that I thought I would share. Using a weekly menu plan has made getting dinner on the table every night much easier, but unlike many people, I do not shop from my menu. I do my shopping FIRST and then write a menu based on what I have in the house. I also give myself permission to juggle the nights on my menu to fit our day to day needs.I do not...
