Remember how I was so outraged about the cost of 4 avocados at Fry's? A friend posted a pick of the bin with the price (something I somehow missed last week) to showcase the crazy cost.

I'm starting my spring/summer salads for lunches next week. I always start with what we named "The Salad." It is: Greens, chicken breast, chopped celery, mandarin oranges, dried cranberries, candied pecans (or walnuts), blue cheese crumbles and poppy seed dressing. A small bit of chives is...

Went to Fry's last night and they had: Foster Farms boneless, skinless chicken breasts buy 1 pack, get 1 free. Some of the packs were $17.00 but I moved packs around and found some that were $10.00-$12.00. I make a lot of summer salads using grilled chicken breast so this is a perfect stock...

halimer- I rarely, if ever, have a grilled cheese. So I am super behind the curve!!! Guess I better put grilled cheese on the menu. Or Patty Melt! I haven't had one of those in years!

halimer- I really don't plan: M, T, Weds, Th., etc. I more write a list saying: Here are the 4 things I have on hand to make then make them how it fits my schedule. If I have meat in the fridge and I can't get to it, that's when that goes in the freezer (as long as it wasn't something I had...

At the grocery store last night- I got 4 little avocados. While they were ringing up, I saw they totaled almost $10.00!!!!! I asked the clerk and she said the price was correct. I said, "Please remove them." Sorry, I am not paying almost $10 for 4 dinky avocados. Yes, I have become one of...

Thanks for the ideas, ladies! I was thinking of lasagna, chili and soups as well. My brother is making them baked pene this week. I know her husband doesn't care for soup but I made them a batch of the ham potato soup after Christmas as it was their hambone I had to make the broth. Annie

I told my niece I would make her some food now that she has the new baby. I saw her last night and she said, "We are treading water here." With new baby and other kids, they need to get into a schedule and have things settle down. That's why I want to make food for her. One less thing for her to...

Katrina, I feel your pain. I cut out restaurant food, trying to make recipes that are simple and that don't require too many ingredients that I don't already have and I do not see my grocery store bill going down. Not really going up, which is good, but that's because of the above measures I...

Last night I went to Wal-Mart. With my list in hand, I thought I would spend about $50.00. It was $80.00!!!! Maybe it being a holiday weekend hurt. ????

I am reading Savannah Guthrie's Book, Mostly What God Does..... Is Love You

JoDee- My brother is a champion at bringing picnic type stuff even when we stay at hotels. When we went to the World Series game- the next day before we departed we had a picnic in our hotel room. He had brought chicken salad and tasked me with bringing some chips. He also had fruit and drinks...

Lori- That brunch sounds fabulous!! My Easter plans are kind of in the air. I usually host but my brother and sil are home bound with their dog that had a major leg surgery. He had the other leg done and they couldn't go anywhere for 4 months! If the dog moves suddenly or runs, they run the...
