Ginger Peach Lemonade.If you have a couple of peaches lying around, keep reading. It’s hard to find a use for just 2 peaches. Sure, you could just eat them. That’d be tasty. But if you really want to make something with them – something easy and fantastic – try this. Take some pink lemonade mix […]
A couple of weeks ago, I was Tweeting with Kayte of Grandma’s Kitchen Table. If you don’t know about Kayte, or haven’t visited her blog, you should. While she doesn’t give herself enough credit for the time she spends in the kitchen, she really does a great job. Add to that she is a wonderful […]
Last week I made these for a friend who was going to the beach with her whole family. I know this family. That’s gonna be one wild week, for sure. I hope they are having fun! As you can see, I did swimsuits, beachballs, palm trees, seahorses and crazy shirts. This was a really fun […]
One week completed in the 4 week Food Challenge and we’re going strong! I keep telling anyone who will listen how liberating this challenge is…to be able to just make something that doesn’t cost anything, using ingredients you already own is so…freeing. I should have done this ages ago. It’s doing great things for the […]
Today is Tuesday. I should have been showcasing Dorie’s Tribute to Katharine Hepburn Brownies…but well, I didn’t make them. I have been eyeing them since I bought the book, and yet – and yet – I just ran out of time. It’s the house cleaning. I’m still at it, and I am not ready to […]
This is probably going to be a boring post. Being DoughMessTic doesn’t always mean making something in the kitchen. It also means cleaning out closets. Under beds. Cabinets. Making your husband go through his clothes and decide what to put in a yard sale. Yep…Yard Sale. It seems I have become a little bit addicted […]
Return to Sullivan’s Island. It’s the new novel by Dortotea Benton Frank. So you didn’t read the first novel she wrote. No biggie. Neither did I. No need to – this one stands alone. Is this the best book you’ll ever read? Ever? Ummm, no. But it is a page turner, which is something you […]
I almost considered counting today as “entertainment” when it comes to the Penny Pinching Pantry Raid, and thereby eliminating my $17.40 Denny’s Dinner from the $100 budget. But you know what? No. I am counting it. We ate it, and so it COUNTS. I feel okay about it – I know that we’ll get ourselves […]
Geez.I am burning up the blogs these days, thanks to the Penny Pinching Pantry Raid. First, the Nutella Sandwich. Now, I have stolen an idea from Jen of My Kitchen Addiction. She posted a recipe for what she calls Peanut Chicken Pasta Salad – and darn if it didn’t look so good and sound so […]
Many of you readers know that I have this thing for Nutella. I put it in cheesecakes. Pies. Dumplings. Cookies, Cakes, Brownies. There have been very few things I have not wanted to cover in the creamy, chocolaty, hazelnutty goodness. That being said, I am still a relatively new Nutella convert….we’re only a year into […]
Day One. I thought I would take the time to introduce you to our players. That’s right – there are more Frugal Foodies than just I. Give these bloggers a HoodyDo and wish them luck with the challenge, won’t you? I’ll be back tomorrow to fill you in on what we ate, what we spent,etc…so […]
Tomorrow. Tomorrow begins our quest of spending only $100 on food for FOUR WEEKS. That’s $100 to split between our little family of 3 – Me, Jon & Seven. Yes, that includes every meal we eat at home AND any meals we eat at restaurants or fast food. I forsee that being especially difficult for […]
