about me

I am a youngish stay-at-home mom with an in-home business, a self-employed CPA husband, and two small boys. I manage the home per a weekly budget, so planning meals ahead of time really helps stretch the dollars. I also use coupons like a crazy woman and shop in bulk, on things like meat and chicken, at whichever store has the best deals.
The boys are picky eaters, so I try to prepare meals for them that they like but will also stretch their tastebuds a bit. My younger son is 2; therefore, he will try a good bit more than his 5 year old brother, who has boycotted everthing green. Thank goodness for fruits.

Favorite Foods:

A Good Steak or Hamburger from the Grill
Anything Greek
Fresh Bread
Freshly Brewed Coffee

Favorite Restaurant: Costa's Mediterranean

Favorite Splurge: O'Carr's Chocolate Ribbon Cheesecake, served warm

My Best Dinner: Pork Tenderloin with Potatoes O'Brien and Warmed Spinach Salad

My Best Dessert: Key Lime Pie or Cheesecake Pecan Pie

My Worst Kitchen Snafu: I ruined an entire batch of cookies one night by using an insufficient amount of flour-yuck!

Easiest and Quickest: Rotisserie Chicken over a Caesar Salad with Added Veggies or Spicy Baked Pork Chops with Baked Apples
