This past weekend I had my first experience with Extreme Couponing. We had a speaker come to MOPS recently who shared with us how to get lots of food for just pennies. There were some skeptics among us, but several of us were very intrigued and ready to jump in. After reading blogs like this and [...]

This recipe is adapted from a recipe that a friend gave me for Quinoa Chili. When I went to make it today, I realized that I didn’t have any quinoa so I tried couscous instead and it worked nicely! You can replace the couscous with quinoa and have an equally yummy meal! And it is a low POINTS meal, too! [...]

Growing up I didn’t really know a whole lot about Lent. Even though my dad was a pastor, it just wasn’t something that we observed in our family’s Easter traditions. It wasn’t until after college that I began to learn more about the tradition and participate in different aspects of observing Lent and it has [...]
