Last week’s menu was a total bust. I think I only made two of the five meals I planned. I just didn’t have time to cook anything during the move. If I had been smart I would have purchased some prepackaged meals from the store, but I didn’t, so we ended up eating fast food [...]

The other night we celebrated my son’s eighth birthday. I had planned on making pizzas but on that day I decided it would just be easier to purchase some from Sams. I was surprised to learn that pizzas from Sams cost $9 a piece. They are big pizzas, but that is a lot of money, [...]
