A simple, budget friendly meal with big budget taste! You’ll love this Korean Beef and Rice recipe.

My friend Aggie and I have been on a bit of a savings spree (after too many spending sprees). We’re getting a lot of joy out of texting each other with updates on our what we’re saving money on each day. “I cancelled my house cleaners and am saving $300 a month!”. “I cancelled my gym membership and am saving $90 a month!”. “I finally cancelled that ABC Mouse subscription that my kids haven’t used in 5 years.” (I wish I was kidding on that one… why do they make it so difficult to cancel ABC Mouse?).

It’s motivating to have a partner in crime when trying to save money, isn’t it? In fact, each time she texts me something she’s saving on, I start looking to see what the next thing is I can save money on. …

A simple yet mouthwatering Honey BBQ Baked Chicken Thighs Recipe.

I’m sorry it’s been quiet around her for a couple of weeks. I’ve been blogging for a very long time, yet it’s taken me this long to realize something about myself…

When I have personal things going on in my life I either can’t wait to come here and pour my words out to you, or I shut down completely, and can’t seem to write at all. Recently, the latter is what’s happened.

It’s been a rough couple of weeks (spoiler alert – all is well now)… for those of you who don’t know, my mom was taken into the hospital a week ago Friday after I had a distressing phone call with her. She wasn’t talking right…her words were very muddled and slow and she was getting frustrated trying to get words out. I finally said “Mom, I think you’ve had a stroke” and she then said “I think so too”. She was alone at the time but my aunt and uncle who live nearby went over as soon as I contacted them and she was taken immediately to the hospital. …

Saucy Chicken and Spinach Recipe {Weekly Menu Plan}

A Chicken and Spinach recipe baked in a creamy, cheese sauce and the Dine & Dish weekly menu plan for the week!

You know what I have a talent for? I have great skills at taking recipes that probably should be good for you and turning them into something not so much. Take this Saucy Chicken and Spinach recipe. The first time I made it my intention was to just do a simple baked chicken with tomatoes and spinach. Then the next time I decided that it needed a sauce of some sort, and of course, a cheesy sauce was absolutely what it needed. At least I didn’t take it one step further and suggest it be served over pasta…(which would be really, really good, not that I’m recommending that or anything).

This Saucy Chicken and Spinach recipe is not the best for you, but it has some healthy elements… so don’t give up on it! It’s a tasty addition to your weekly menu plan and one of those recipes at least the grownups in your house will love. (2 out of 4 of my kids loved it…and my husband and I both love it). I think you’ll love it too!…
