Every other week we get a produce basket from our local produce co-op. This is the only way I buy produce, but it does have a few surprises that will get thrown in—like every 3rd or 4th co-op we will come home with 20+ jalapeno peppers!?! That’s about 20 more than my mouth can handle, […]
Looking for a classic meatloaf for a yummy dinner? I love this meatloaf recipe because it’s simple and makes TWO meatloaves that you can stick in the freezer. It comes together so easily, and the payoff is completely worth it. The last time we had this, a few kids weren’t super excited, so I pulled […]
I’m all about working smarter, not harder. And making this freezer lasagna is one of those things that’s just as easy to double as it is to make one. If you make two at a time, then you can either put them both in the freezer or eat one for dinner tonight and save the […]

My husband and I went back on Keto a few weeks ago. Getting back into the swing of low carb meals we can get into a rut of a basic meat and broccoli or other green side. It gets old fast! This week I needed flavor and some good old fashion comfort foods, so we broke our […]
I’m currently trying to stock my chest freezer with some of our family’s favorite recipes. These beef meatballs can be used in a variety of ways and can be stored in the freezer so easily. You can serve these with a tomato-based sauce, an alfredo sauce, or even a mushroom gravy served with mashed potatoes. […]
