Easy Polish Sausage, Potatoes, Cabbage & Carrots
Hey friends! I am back with a fresh recipe after a loooong summer! Now that the kids are all settled in, I finally got to try out a new recipe! Polish Sausage, Potatoes, Cabbage and Carrots. I don’t have a fancy name for it! This is pretty healthy, but it isn’t as kid friendly as my usual recipes. Unless, of course your kids LOVE vegetables… Mine, not so much. This weeks recipe is really easy and doesn not require a ton of prep. I used my, but this can also be done in a crock pot or a large frying pan. In fact, if you are using Turkey Kielbasa, you…

Instant Pot “Baked” Spaghetti
This is by far one of my most popular recipes, and since it’s hot outside, using your Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker is a great way to keep your house cool! I thought it would be a great time to repost my Baked Spaghetti recipe, especially since Amazon just had the amazing deal on the this week!! (which is still going by the way $49.99!!!) Not only can you get a great deal but Eat at Home is currently doing a FREE Instant Pot School! I finally broke down and bought a Crock Pot Express this summer and I have really come to LOVE it.

Five Minute Sautéed Shrimp
I don’t know about ya’ll, but we LOVE shrimp at our house. And apparently, a certain friend of Kate’s raved about my Shrimp to her mama after eating with us one night! The great thing about this recipe is that it is quick and easy. The hardest part is peeling the shrimp, so call your teenagers and older kids up because they can help with this part! I usually serve this with pasta drizzled in butter or oil and a little garlic salt. You have to be kind of careful with the garlic salt, so go easy with it! I also make a Spring Mix Salad with dried cranberries ,…

Turn Your Creative Flair Into a Side Hustle!
When you’re a parent, it can often feel like trying to balance that and your own life can be a serious challenge. After all, most full-time jobs aren’t exactly designed to accommodate the schedules of parents and children. This often means that a lot of people end up having to choose between earning a living and taking care of their kids. However, that’s not necessarily the way things have to be! If you’re in a position where you would really like to have a little more income but you don’t want to sacrifice time with your family, why not try and set up a little side hustle? If you’re a…
How to: Make a Delicious Meal for Under $10
I don’t know about you, but it always feels like the grocery bill goes up as soon as summer begins! Making a delicious meal seems like it will be so expensive! But you can do it! It just takes a little planning and creativity! Thank goodness for grocery store sales, coupons and Aldi! Although I really love Aldi, I have to say I have been very impressed with Kroger this last year. They have lowered their prices and continually have markdowns on produce, meats, and dairy products. You may not have a Kroger in your area, but chances are you may have a store that is in their network. And…
Summer Strawberry Pie
When I was growing up, my mom used to make the best strawberry pie in the spring and summer. Now, I haven’t been blessed with a great memory, but I do remember helping her make these pies. If I remember something, it must have been meaningful to me. There is something about cooking with my mom that brings back several great memories from when I was growing up. These strawberry pies are delicious, and they get eaten very quickly. It got to where she had to make two because we would eat them so fast. You better get a piece before it’s gone! When I got married and had…
Noom Review: My Completely Honest Opinion
Have you thought about trying Noom’s weight loss program, and are feeling a little skeptical? So was I! There are so many diets and exercise programs out there right now, and I have tried a few of them! So far, nothing has really worked long term. A couple of months ago, I got an offer from to try their program and review it on my blog. I was really skeptical and actually ignored it at first, but I was curious, so I did a little research. Since I had about 20-25 lbs to lose, I decided to give it a shot. Plus, I would feel much better about making a…
Meal Planning Tips and Tricks: A Busy Moms Guide
My biggest pitfall when it comes to meal planning is forgetting to plan according to my schedule that week. I don’t know how many times I have had the best intentions and planned out all these great meals, done my shopping, stayed on budget, but then thrown half the stuff away because I didn’t have time to cook it. On Friday, when I am throwing away bad chicken, and I am looking at the price on the package, I feel like a failure. “Look how much money you wasted”, says the snarky voice in my brain. That snarky voice is my worst enemy and I wind up feeling defeated and…
Enneagram and Motherhood
My name is Leslie and I am an Enneagram Type 6. I am mom to four children, Alyssa 19, Maya 14, Caleb 10, and Kate 8. My son Caleb has mild Autism, which comes with many challenges, but he is very high functioning. thing that I have learned about parenting is that it is not a one size fits all thing. Each child is very different, and that means that what works for one doesn’t necessarily work for another…. Today I am guest posting over at clarity with charity, read the post here.
