Tuna Salad is good to eat, fast to make and filling. Small 5-ounce cans of tuna are cheap too. When you use water-packed tuna and light mayo, tuna salad is pretty low in calories besides. Many of my readers will already know this recipe and already be preparing tuna salad for themselves. I included it […]
Quick, tasty, cheap, low calorie and filling. Aaah! This is what my dreams are made of. While I created this recipe to be used as a taco filling, it also works on top of taco salad, inside a burrito or as the filling for a mighty tasty chicken quesadilla. As written below it makes about […]
1500 Calories. Gluten Free. Dairy Free. Low Cost Low Calorie Menu. Breakfast today was awesome! Black beans and potatoes are absolutely amazing for breakfast. I am going to remember this and put it into rotation. They were filling, delicious and cheap, cheap, cheap. It was so filling that I couldn’t even finish it all. I was busy […]
This is just boiled spaghetti and frozen veggies mixed with some Japanese style seasonings. It’s not authentic Japanese food, but it does taste like it might be. My oldest son Tom, the vegetarian, can eat an entire recipe all on his own, although it does take him two sittings to do it. As written, it […]
1500 Calories. Gluten Free. Dairy Free. Low Cost Low Calorie Menu. When I woke up this morning, I was eating a small handful of Chex Mix before I knew it. I hadn’t planned to eat it today, so I had to add it to my breakfast anyway. I haven’t mentioned it yet, but the orange juice and soymilk […]

My family loves this stuff. I love this stuff. It’s a relatively healthy, affordable snack that doesn’t shoot up my blood sugar or cost an arm and a leg. Most Chex Mix recipes call for a lot of extra additions that aren’t exactly cheap. This one is Chex Cereal (which is gluten free) and peanuts, […]
Hello Internet. It’s me, Maggie 🙂 I’ve processed a lot of my grief, so I’m mostly functional again. I wasn’t for a little while, but I’m better now. I sewed for my dolls a lot during my mourning period. When I get the gumption I hope to share some of my new dolly dressed here on […]
On October 29, 2015 at about 4 am, Marcella Kilby, my grandmother, went home to the Lord. The funeral was earlier this week in her tiny home church in Grayson County, Virginia at the Haw Orchard in Mouth of Wilson. I am mourning her loss deep within my bones. The photo above was taken […]
I am a lazy cook, so I use canned pumpkin instead of fresh pumpkin. Usually 28-ounce cans of pumpkin have the lowest unit price, so that is what I tend to buy. Leftover pumpkin can be scooped into muffin cups or measured by 1/2-cupfuls into zipper bags and frozen for several months. Or you can […]
