Cranberry Apple Walnut Salad

September 21, 2015 By Beth Cranford 1 Comment

Yesterday was a special day for me. It was my birthday, which meant that my house got cleaned by my kids (woo hoo!) I got taken out to lunch by my husband, AND had dinner with a good friend. And, most importantly, I came face-to-face with the fact that in three years I’ll be fifty…

Chicken Sliders with Mango Slaw

August 17, 2015 By Beth Cranford Leave a Comment

This, my friends, is the sandwich that saved me about $30.00. It was one of those nights when I just didn’t have much time to cook. It was oh-so-tempting to just give in and go out. But you know I’m really trying not to do that. (Psst… it’s the reason for this site, actually.) Knowing…

Slow Cooker Barbecue Beef Sandwiches

August 3, 2015 By Beth Cranford Leave a Comment

Summer’s not over! Just because school is starting doesn’t mean we can’t still have picnics and sip sweat tea! Between getting ready to get back into our homeschooling routine and still wanting to hold on to some summer activities, my desire to be in the kitchen is running pretty thin. Who wants to be in…

Four Cheese Tortellini Salad

June 29, 2015 By Beth Cranford 1 Comment

Summer is in full swing here, and we’re ready for some “cool” food! I did a lot of grilling last month for a photography job I was working on. It was fun, we ate very well, and I even found some great new recipes. Check out these delicious stuffed tomatoes! But, I’ve come to the…

15 Minute Chicken Fajitas

January 25, 2015 By Beth Cranford Leave a Comment

Chicken Fajitas you can make in just 15 minutes. It's a kid-friendly meal that will help you stick to a food budget.

 Mmmm. Chicken Fajitas! Nobody will know how easy it was to make or how healthy they are! They’ll just know that this is way better than takeout. (And you’ll know it was way cheaper!) This is yet another one of those meals that I can make super-quick because I’ve already got the chicken sliced and…

Enchilada Quesadillas

August 31, 2014 By Beth Cranford 3 Comments

May I confess something to you? Sometimes I’m jealous of my husband. You see, sometimes at work he gets to go out for a nice lunch. Usually while I sit home and eat peanut butter sandwiches or leftover spaghetti. (Which I do not like leftover.) But I haven’t told him that I’m jealous, because jealousy…

Bow-Tie Tuna Salad

August 27, 2014 By Beth Cranford 1 Comment

Bow-Tie Tuna Salad; a fun alternative to tuna sandwiches.

Raise your hand if you’re ready for some new lunch ideas. I know I am! We’ve gotten in a rut around here, finding it difficult to think of anything we want for lunch. So what’s a mom to do but revert to her own childhood?  What’s something yummy I haven’t had in a while? Ah……

Lasagna Grilled Cheese

Lasagna Grilled Cheese

I was having a somewhat stressful Saturday–and Saturdays are supposed to be stress-free! I had so much to do and I had no lunch plans. And because I’m big on meal planning (you may have noticed) I get really frustrated when I don’t have one. I hate to go out for burgers or something worse…

Berry-licous Chicken Wrap

August 17, 2014 By Beth Cranford 3 Comments

Berrylicious Chicken Wrap-a fresh yummy alternative to a plain old sandwich

Tired of the same old sandwich? I’ve got a treat for you today. But you have to trust me. Like when they told you about pretzels and chocolate. You were skeptical weren’t you? But they’re so irresistible! Aren’t you glad you tried them? (Now I’m grumpy ’cause I want some and it’s 9:30 at night…

Freezer Friendly Caprese Calzones

Freezer Friendly Caprese Calzone

I  love fresh basil. In an omelet, on grilled chicken, even in a tuna casserole. (You should try it.) And because I’m thrilled by small things, I’ve been totally enjoying going out to my flower garden (Yes, flower garden. I still, after 23 years of marriage, haven’t planted a food garden.) and picking fresh basil…
