A few years ago after paying off all our debt, we were finally able to move into a bigger home to better accommodate our large family. I was super excited about the new kitchen! It has at least twice the storage compared to our previous home. I honestly have no idea how we fit all […]
This Crockpot New England Clam Chowder has such a rich, slow cooked, homemade taste. You would never guess how simple it is to make. I refer to this as a “dump recipe.” There is nothing to slice, dice, peel, or chop. You simply open containers, dump them all together and let the crockpot work its […]

You wander into the kitchen looking for a little something sweet to eat, but all you find is that your kids have wiped out every single cookie and snack cake in the house. There’s a cake mix on the shelf in the pantry, but you really don’t want to bake and frost a cake. Wait […]
