I recently gave away a copy of The Money Saving Mom’s Budget, by Crystal Paine of Money Saving Mom. I thought it would be fun to also feature one of Crystal’s recipes that we have come to love in our household, Hamburger Vegetable Soup!

Broccoli & Bacon Salad
Whenever I am asked to make a vegetable salad to bring to a get-together, this is my go-to dish! It’s pretty difficult to go wrong with bacon. Add some cheese and fresh broccoli, and you’ve got a side that is sure to disappear. It gets the approval of my picky vegetable eater, so…
Broccoli & Cheddar Cheese Soup
Broccoli & Cheddar Cheese Soup should be in your soup rotation. Even my 2 1/2 year old (who doesn’t like many vegetables) will finish a bowl. It makes an excellent accompaniment to a hot sandwich, but is hearty enough to stand on its own as a main dish itself. Serve with some Garlic…
Simple Side: Roasted Cauliflower
Simple side dishes are the best. You want something to accompany you main dish, but not take over the show. Roasted Cauliflower is an excellent choice for a side dish that is simple, but still full of flavor. Cauliflower takes on an almost candy-like flavor when it takes a trip through a toasty…
Pork Egg Rolls
Egg rolls are a versatile food. They can be a snack, an appetizer, or a meal. The fillings are infinitely customizable, so you can make the egg rolls to fit your taste and/or dietary needs. Of course that is, if your dietary needs include anything that gets fried in hot oil!

I’ve mentioned a couple times before that I worked in a superior Asian/Fusion restaurant in college. Every dish I ate there was delectable, and Spicy Green Beans was yet another dish I had to learn how to make at home. This dish is incredible as is, but is very adaptable to your taste. …
Mom’s Potato Salad
This Memorial Day weekend, I hope you all have exciting plans to get together with family and friends. And it’s more than likely, you’ll be in for some good food. If you are looking to bring a side dish that’s sure to please, I know the perfect recipe. This is my mom’s recipe,…
Sausage, Pepper, & Onion Pizza
First of all, Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers out there! I realize this isn’t your normal “Mother’s Day Brunch” post or something like that, but I hope you all like it anyway. Celebrate mom by making her something special, no matter what it is! I love to make and eat…
Stuffed Mushrooms
Stuffed Mushrooms are one of my favorite appetizers. They are such yummy little bites… I could make a meal out of a plate full! But that’s another story… This is another recipe that I’ve come up with by reading through dozens somewhat like it. When I find mushrooms on sale, this is often…
