Combining crockpot recipes with planned leftovers is a great way to maximize both time and money savings. Use leftover ham, and for even faster prep choose frozen diced potatoes instead of peeling and dicing them yourself. If you prefer to avoid processed ingredients, you can substitute Cream of Something soup mix for the cream of […]
Christmas Dinner Menu
Christmas Dinner Notes: 1. This menu should serve 8-10 adults plus smaller children comfortably.

Where there is a leftover used, I posted that recipe too, in case you wanted to do […]

The Ham Plan
Here is my “Ham Plan”. I am finding it easier and more economical to have bulk cooking plans for when meats and veggies are on sale or in season. I do a big cooking that lasts a few months (Hopefully! I am still new at this) so I don’t have to cook that particular meat again for a while.
