Meat prices are continuing to go up, but we all still need to eat. Eggs continue to be a cheap and frugal option to add protein to a meal without spending an exorbitant amount on groceries. You can scramble them or hard boil them, which we sometimes do, but there are so many different ways […]
We go through these weird banana phases. Some weeks we’re going through multiple bananas a day, with every person in the family eating one each. So the next week I buy several bunches so we have enough, and then everyone decides they don’t want to eat bananas anymore. Then give it another week and I […]
