Pineapple Mush

This delicious dessert is courtesy of my friend, Jennifer from Virginia. I am going to give you two versions of this: her recipe, which is the lowfat version; and, mine, which is the exactly the same recipe using “regular” ingredients. (Both versions are equally good, my husband just won’t eat sugar free jello.)

Potato Pancakes

This is a recipe that I got from my friend, Sherine, a few years ago. It is a wonderful way to use up leftover mashed potatoes.

Recipe: Potato Pancakes Ingredients: 16 oz frozen corn kernels, thawed (or 2 cups fresh corn kernels cut off the cob). 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

The Perfect Roast Recipe

This recipe is a re-worked version of a roast recipe that was posted a few years ago on a Catholic forum that is now defunct. The roast comes out so tender you don’t need a knife!

Recipe: The Perfect Roast Ingredients: 3-4 lb Rump or chuck roast 2 onions, sliced 2-3

Complimentary Menu Planner and Grocery List Worksheet

Since I’ve been doing (or trying to do!) menu planning every week, I created a *very* simple menu planner worksheet and grocery list for myself.

I printed out a bunch of the worksheets and keep them in my home management binder. My home management binder is almost always open or close by, so

Menu Madness: June 13-19, 2010

Well, the menu never got done last week. I was in the process of putting it together when I found out about my cousin; so, although I wrote up an outline, I never got the menu posted.  (She’s doing okay, btw.)

We are going to be spending some time with family over the

Menu Madness: May 30 - June 5th

Alas, I’m not as consistent with menu planning as much as I would like. I do know that when I take the time to make up a menu plan each week (or sometimes every two weeks) I’m more organized, we eat at a reasonable time and we don’t waste money eating out.
