An easy meal that we all forget about!

The Slow cooker! (or crock-pot) A wonderful must-have item in everyones' kitchen, that we very seldom use!  My husband rarely cooks and today he surprised me with a GREAT meal that only took him a few minutes to prepare! He chopped up an onion in large chunks, a few carrots, and the stems from celery stalk to the bottom of our crock-pot and added some chicken breasts on top seasoned with some soul seasoning. Leave on high for about 4-5 hours and come home to not only a wonderful smelling house but dinner ready as you walk in the door! The meal including chicken and vegetables cost around 6 dollars for 4 people! Of course, there are many other ways to put that wonderful slow cooker to work, so try some out with your family this week for an easy meal with easy cleanup!

Publix Breakfast! Make this the best Meal of the day from MyBlog Spark!

Re-think your breakfast routine and eat the most important meal of the day at your own table. You'll save time and money with breakfast at home compared to grabbing something on the go. Recently I was given the opportunity to go to Pulbix to save money for breakfast items! MyBlog Spark had sent a $25 dollar gift card to spend and I was bound and determined to see just how much I could buy on just this card alone.  I have to admit I was not disappointed! First of all I needed a gallon of milk and the list continues, A bottle of Simply Orange pineapple juice, 18 eggs were added to the cart first. Already I skimmed my coupons to see I had already had a savings of $1 on my gallon of milk. (Barber's).  I was able to grab two boxes of Cherrios by General Mills at 1.99 a pop and had a .50 coupon on both, it doubled so paying .99 cents for each box was great. Plus I was dying to try out the new My cart was filled with two Folglers coffees, Bisquick Heart Healthy, Silk Fruit and protei...
