I had a brief oh no moment then realized I could probably make it work anyway. The best… Continue reading Homemade Beef Stew – No store bought broth required

Favorite Food Finds – Butterball Boneless Turkey Breast

Simple Meal – Turkey tenderloin and frozen veggies

Need a simple dinner? This is for you. I love the turkey tenderloin from Aldi. The Rotisserie flavor is the one I usually pick up because the Pepper one ( while delicious) is a touch too peppery for my kids. I also love this frozen bag of green beans from Costco. It actually reseals pretty… Continue reading Simple Meal – Turkey tenderloin and frozen veggies
