Couponing, Recipes, & Shortcuts to Save you Money
I live in the house of multiple dinners. My son is allergic to Wheat, my oldest daughter is allergic to dairy, and I just try to make something that every will/can eat. Pre-packaged foods basically don’t happen. The only time I buy a box of Nilla wafers is to satisfy one of my cravings, or [...]
This is a great offer for my fellow Gluten Free eaters. Head over to TasteGuru and get 1 month of their gluten free box of the month club FREE ($37 Value). You are responsible for shipping, which is $12. I don’t know if you purchase a lot of gluten free stuff, but that is a [...]
For those of you who follow A Few Short Cuts on Instagram you have seen that I have been working my little tushie off. I hope quite literally. My sister is getting married in October and yours truly needs to fit into a cute little dress by then. I have a little problem. I love [...]
It is so funny to me the ingredients I used to take for granted. I mean if you want chocolate milk you have to buy chocolate syrup at the store. Right?! WRONG! You can make your own homemade chocolate syrup for a fraction of the price that tastes so much better than store bought. Folks [...]
I am a “fly by the seat of my pants” kinda gal. I was cleaning out the pantry and found 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk that were getting ready to expire. I have no idea how that happened because I can eat that stuff with a spoon (Yes, I know it is bad for [...]
Ask anyone at my house what is one food that we miss having for breakfast since my son as diagnosed with a wheat allergy. The answer would be a unanimous “DOUGHNUTS”. They sell gluten free doughnuts in the freezer section but they just aren’t the same as those piping hot fresh fried doughnuts that you [...]
It never fails. Every time I go to the grocery store I ask my Hubby what he wants me to get. The answer: “Get me something good.” In my Hubby’s terms this means something that can be popped in the microwave or oven for a quick snack. Basically all that junk I try to avoid: [...]
We all have heard of peach salsa and mango salsa, but how about a new twist? Strawberry Salsa! Yes, I have found the Salsa I love the best and it is full of strawberries. Don’t knock it till you try it. The strawberries replace the traditional tomatoes and add a bit of sweet contrast to [...]
I am always struggling to find new and inventive side dishes that everyone will enjoy. With Spring here, I am hitting the Farmers Market on Fridays and stocking up on fresh veggies. My helper and I decided to make something delicious with our veggies. This dish made everyone smile. Could have been the pieces of [...]
Zucchini and I have a strange relationship. I don’t really care for it, but it keeps popping back in my kitchen time and time again. It just can’t take no for an answer. LOL. I thought I would give it another shot. Up to this point the only thing zucchini that I could stomach was [...]
I posted a picture of the fried okra I made for dinner last night with the caption “Fried Okra just makes me happy!” By the response it got, I would guess that it makes many of you happy too. My mom always tells the story that when I was little and we would go out [...]
Right before we moved from Iowa I ran to the grocery store and hit the deal seekers jackpot. I full bag of ripe ORGANIC bananas for $0.99! Now most people would think that they couldn’t use that many bananas at once. I knew exactly what to do with them. I typically use them for banana [...]
