Quit Wasting Food
Blast from the Past: This post has gotten a lot of hits since I posted it almost 2 years ago, so I thought it would be a good reminder and decided to re-post it!

Bacon Cheeseburger Soup
There are so many versions of Cheeseburger Soup out there, but with each one I’ve tried or reviewed there’s just a little something I’m not pleased with. I finally decided to come up with my own version taking ingredients from two different recipes. One is Bacon Cheeseburger Soup from Paula Deen and the other is [...]
Homemade Chocolate Syrup
I have tried several recipes for homemade chocolate syrup. Some I have been pleased with but none of them have been recipes I wanted to stick with. So off I would search for another recipe.
It seems I have found a homemade chocolate syrup recipe to make anyone slap their grandma – well, not really, but [...]
The Supper Challenge: Day 2
Supper tonight was a quick throw together meal which is good because I had several errands to run and a piano lesson late in the afternoon.
I found the recipe for Mordecai’s Chicken in a church cookbook Come and Dine put out by Antioch Baptist Church in Knoxville, TN. A year ago I was flipping through [...]
The Lunch Challenge: Day 5
Today was an enjoyable day running errands with the children. After errands we went through the drive through at McDonalds and took our lunch to a local park. The weather was wonderful and made me wish we could do that every day!
But because I had pizza on the menu for lunch yesterday and I didn’t [...]
The Lunch Challenge: Day 4
According to my menu today’s lunch was to be homemade pizza. But we had so many leftovers in the refrigerator that I couldn’t justify cooking another meal. I had enough leftovers for both lunch and supper. I knew I would have a leftover meal but I had it planned for tomorrow. As it is I’ll [...]
The Lunch Challenge: Day 3
Today’s lunch was another quick and easy, yet tasty meal perfect for impromptu visits or anytime you need to put something on the table in a flash.
For my “real food” friends, this is not the meal for you. You will forever be disappointed in me. Everything I made today was totally processed convenience foods. However, [...]
The Lunch Challenge: Day 2
On those rare occasions when I need a quick meal, it Works for Me to have an easy-to-fix meal that calls for ingredients I already have in my pantry.
Despite its boring name, Taco Stuff fits that description. This cooks up quickly with very little clean-up – perfect for unexpected company or even after church [...]
The Lunch Challenge: Day 1
Well, I’m a bit late with getting day 1 of the Lunch Challenge posted. I was not feeling well yesterday. Then we traveled out of town for a special meeting. By the time we got home at 10 o’clock I was wiped out and went straight to bed. Thankfully I woke up well rested and [...]
Breakfast Challenge: Day 6
Well, mine and Joy’s Breakfast Challenge is almost over. I am really looking forward to seeing what you fixed for breakfast this week. The challenge was really one I needed to stay accountable. At least 2 mornings I was so tempted to fall back on the ole standby – peanut butter sandwiches.
Yes, I am a [...]
