Rob and I have become Aldi nerds. We've figured out we can get far more bang for our buck by shopping at Aldi. I've cut back our monthly grocery/food bill from around $400 a month to $200 a month while we finish up buying our house. Aldi plays a huge part in that. There's certain… Continue reading Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars

Pimiento Cheese Poppers
Hot summer days call for a sandwich lunch and a tall glass of lemonade. Cucumber sandwiches, tomato, turkey clubs, tuna or egg salad...any sandwich your heart desires. I could eat a sandwich every day from June through August. Another classic summertime sandwich: pimiento cheese. You can find the orangey cheese spread in multiple places at… Continue reading Pimiento Cheese Poppers
Thai Veggie Wraps
Since I only go to the grocery store once a month now, I have to eat all of my fresh veggies and fruits within the first two weeks. That leaves the last two weeks with just protein and pantry staples---a time when my craving for veggies intensifies. When I went grocery shopping this last week… Continue reading Thai Veggie Wraps
Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Pie Chips
I'm not going to lie. I haven't been eating the most healthy things while on lockdown. I'm not sure any of us have. When it seems like the world is ending, all you want to do is reach for the comfort food. That box of macaroni cheese, the tightly wrapped ice cream sandwich, the container… Continue reading Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Pie Chips
Spicy Dill Veggie Dip
Today feels like it should be any other day of the week but Wednesday. Monday? That's what it feels like. This week keeps dragging on so slow. I'm ready for the weekend to get here in a big bad way. Do you ever feel like time is moving slow? I feel that way a lot.… Continue reading Spicy Dill Veggie Dip
Dill Pickle Chicken Wings
Chicken wing fever is here. With the rise of keto, more people are eating wings. They're the perfect little keto snack. Crispy, fried chicken wings with ranch or chunky blue cheese dressing can be the ultimate snack when you're starving. I'm quite partial to Wing Stop wings. I love their garlic-parmesan and lemon pepper variety,… Continue reading Dill Pickle Chicken Wings
Texas Bean Dip
'Tis the season for endless holiday parties and mass amounts of dips. By dips, I mean chips and dip of course. You can't have a party, a shindig, a hootenanny, or a small gathering with out the perennial favorite appetizer. I like to vary the dips I make and bring. My aunt's got a superb… Continue reading Texas Bean Dip
Cranberry Jalapeno Dip
Our casual work Christmas party was yesterday. The appetizers were plentiful, we had a full spread of cookies, and the Secret Santas amongst us were very giving. I didn't end up eating an actual meal yesterday. I just ate chips, dips, cheese and some crockpot chicken and dressing my boss made. We're a group that… Continue reading Cranberry Jalapeno Dip
Stovetop Cinnamon Apples
Is there anything more "fall" than apples and cinnamon? Maybe pumpkin. Maybe the crunchy leaves under your boot steps. But there's something so heartwarming and magical about eating cinnamon apple flavored things when fall is here. Apple-picking is far out of our grasp in Oklahoma, but that doesn't mean we can't pretend like the apples… Continue reading Stovetop Cinnamon Apples
Low Carb Sausage Pizza Bites
It's a pretty busy next few weeks around the Welcher household. We're in the thick of football season, and our station has OU games on our air this weekend (OU-Texas, to boot) and next weekend. I'll be working with very few days off over the next few weeks, but it will be worth it in… Continue reading Low Carb Sausage Pizza Bites
