Hearty Lentil and Ground Beef Soup

Do you need a warm pick-me-up to get past the winter chill?

It is that time of winter, that time where I’m just itching to see that green grass start peeking out along the side of the road. I can’t wait to see the trees and flowers start to bloom again.

I needed to find a recipe that was both frugal, easy, tasty and healthy. [Read more…]

Yesterday afternoon I ran upstairs when I heard my daughter screaming…

She had already thrown up all over her bed and more was coming up! Yup, I caught it right in my two little hands.
