Forget Microwave Popcorn. Go Stove Top!

We buy popcorn by the 50 lb bag.

Why isn’t popcorn more popular? Probably because microwave popcorn is expensive, inevitably burns, smells up the entire house, and doesn’t taste all that great. I’m out to change that for you. Time to bring back stove top popcorn!

What We DON’T Eat Saves Money

It isn't what we buy that is the question. It's what we DON'T buy.

We spend roughly $800 per month on groceries. We don’t go on extravagant shopping sprees every week. This surprises most people, even other large families who spend twice as much with half as many children. The question they ask is, “What on earth are you eating?” A better question may be, “What on earth aren’t you eating?”

Frugal and Simple Recipes

A Thanksgiving meal should come few times through the year. I am for simplicity and efficiency.

Complex recipes usually require running off to the store to spend more time, energy and money than I (nor you) would like to spend. I try hard to make each recipe as frugal and simple as possible, blessing your family with great meals.
