Homemade Frugalicious: Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Final Chocolate Covered Strawberries (Side View)

Let’s get one thing straight. I’m probably the most non-romantical woman you’ll ever meet. I refuse to allocate one crevice of brain space to remembering anniversaries. It’s my long held belief that weddings are a waste of money, and thus, stupid. Gift giving was never an activity I wanted to get caught up in. I just don’t [...]

Menu Plan Money ~ Jan 30, 2012 – “Foodie Financial Challenge” Edition

[Read this section first. Then, check out the giveaway mentioned below.] Of all the line items in my budget, food is the one that causes me the most trouble. Lately, my home cooked meals have been pretty delicious. But that truth doesn’t erase my cravings for familiar dishes at my favorite restaurants. To help me [...]

Menu Plan Money: “Brrr!” Edition

Halloween night with bat and jack-o-lantern

Folks, it’s officially cold. I try to be upbeat and optimistic about life, but freezing temperatures make me sad. And can you believe it had the nerve to snow this weekend? Unacceptable! Human beings, especially us black ones, weren’t designed to withstand these conditions. It ain’t natural. You know? On the bright side, I have [...]

Menu Plan Money ~ “Wishful Thinking” Edition

There’s not much going on this week other than my menu plan is a little aggressive considering I’m feeling pretty miserable. Here’s to me keeping hope alive and not darting to the nearest Chipotle. Monday: Frittata Tuesday: KFC Fried Chicken or Chicken Nuggets Wednesday: Leftovers Thursday: Bacon, Egg, & Cheese low carb sandwich Friday: Barbacoa Shredded Beef Tacos [...]

Menu Plan Money ~ “Bringing Back the Rookie Cook Tip” Edition

Slow Cooker Ribs and Yellow Rice

My love of cooking, primarily, stems from my love of eating delicious food. If only there was a way to experience the finest, tastiest cuisine without learning how to cook. Well, there is such a way. It’s called eating out. And it’s way more expensive than preparing your meals at home. For those of us [...]

Menu Plan Money ~ Oct 10, 2011

This past weekend, the outlet my refrigerator plugs into stopped working. I’m not exactly sure how long my fridge was incapacitated, but I’m afraid I’ve suffered some loss due to spoilage. It’s quite upsetting. I’ve been doing so good on cutting my food budget this past month or so. It’s possible most of my refrigerated [...]

3 Reasons I’m Not Watching Season 2 of TLC’s Extreme Couponing

stockpile of groceries and snacks

  Last night, I missed the Season 2 premiere of TLC’s Extreme Couponing. That was no mistake. I’ve decided I’m going to “miss” it indefinitely. You’d think a self proclaimed cheap, money hungry, miser like myself would pay attention. You’d think I’d be interested in uncovering the secrets of those who’ve mastered the art of [...]

Menu Plan Money ~ So Much Food to Eat, So Little Time

Three baked swai in glass casserole dish

Well, it looks like we don’t have many days remaining in September. Which is a problem as I haven’t abandoned my goal of eating all my freezer’s contents by month end. If I’m to be successful in this very simple endeavor, I’d better get eatin’. There are bags and bags of frozen fruit left. Instead of [...]

Menu Plan Money ~ Sept 5, 2011

As you may well know, I set a goal for myself this month. A single solitary goal to eat the food that’s hanging out in my freezer. So, why would a hip, cosmopolitan woman like myself do such a thing? Why not let the food I have now meet the same end as the food [...]

A Simple September Goal

Freezer full of food

I only have one goal this month – to eat the food in my refrigerator. Things are getting out of control. I’m to the point that I’m scared to open the fridge. You know how it is. You open your freezer door, and brace yourself for the avalanche of food to come rolling out. This [...]
