Ham is usually associated with holiday meals like Easter, but you can bake a ham anytime of year! We recently discovered that my husband who previously claimed to truly dislike glazes on ham, actually just didn’t care for the glaze pack that comes with the ham. So we set out to create some super yummy…
Just like muffins can come in sweet and savory flavors, so do quick breads. While I love a good banana bread or even a good pineapple coconut bread, I really love making savory quick breads too! We have gotten pretty creative with our leftovers over here, and some of the ways we love to use…

When we first started these weekly meal plans, we aimed to fill a gap in what was available. We really have three main goals for this every week: This week our prices came from Gretna, Louisiana (just outside New Orleans) and our total came out to $59.34. That is pretty close to our budget, but…
