It all works just lovely. I …

December 6, 2020 //  by Jenn//  Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 9 minutes When we first started budgeting the “Dave Ramsey way,” we used a minimal amount of cash envelopes. But now, we’re mostly digital. If you’re just getting started with budgeting and taming your money better, these cash envelopes are definitely the best way to start out. I’ll explain what we did before, and what we use …

Instant Hot Cocoa Mix

December 6, 2020 //  by Jenn//  Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 4 minutes If you’ve known me for some time, you know I’m all about reading ingredient labels on products.

In the world we’re living in today, that might be what …

Reading Time: 5 minutes As I’ve slowly switched to cooking everything from scratch and making real food for my family, I discovered that you really can make everything from the basics in your pantry – including baking mix.

This is NOT Really What Homeschooling is Like

June 3, 2020 //  by Jenn//  Leave a Comment

Reading Time: 6 minutes Unless you’ve tried homeschooling with one of those online curriculum like K12 where you have to log on so many hours per day, this quarantine homeschool situation is NOT normally what homeschool is like.

Reading Time: 4 minutes It’s getting mighty warm, mighty quickly, out here in South Louisiana. I wanted a healthier alternative to those corn-syrup-filled “cool pops” most of us grew up eating. Not only did I want them healthier, I really needed them to be QUICK & EASY. I’m all about simple, quick, and easy. I also wanted an easy-to-use …

How to Cook a JAMBALAYA from scratch

How to Cook a JAMBALAYA from Scratch

March 12, 2020 //  by Jenn//  10 Comments

Reading Time: 7 minutes Cooking a jambalaya involved many attempts before I finally mastered it. I think the first five jambalayas I made were total disasters. Well, not totally. But, they surely didn’t quite make it on the list of “good-looking” and “brown” jambalayas! The first one I made came out “white,” and tasted good, but not like a …

Reading Time: 5 minutes With only 6 ingredients, getting this fresh, homemade bread on the table is actually a really simple process.

Reading Time: 3 minutes I had an idea! Take one of my favorite dips and turn it into a dinner with chicken! For this recipe, you can use either ground chicken or cut up diced chicken.
