Welcome

Hello, and welcome to my new blog!

I have been inching forward in creating a home online to share all of my recipes, and household tips. I am not a fancy cook, or even what many would call a "foodie". I'm just a simple stay at home mom from Kansas that likes to cook real food from scratch. You're not gonna find a bunch of heavily edited photos carefully arranged in my beautifully decorated kitchen. That's not what I'm about. I often take my phone out, and snap a photo on the quick when I would like to share something I have made with my online friends later, messy kitchen, and all!

Some of my blog might be too basic, or repetitive for a lot of seasoned cooks. I know that when I was starting out on my own with very little kitchen skills I would have loved to have some guidance on how to make some simple, cost effective meals for my family. Not everyone learns that kind of thing at home.

I also (as my name suggests!) very frugal! I don't like to spend money if I don't have to, and am always looking for practical ways to save that aren't too gross, or time consuming.

I am not quite a health nut, but am very health conscious. I'm always striving to find the best ways to feed my family on a tight budget, but still finding the most nutritious foods that a very, very picky bunch of people will eat. I do my due diligence on researching diet, and fitness facts. I'm pretty well informed on those topics.

I hope you enjoy my blog. I will be adding pages, and making posts soon!
