Dave and I love a good, hot, crispy English Muffin for breakfast; however, I refuse to buy them from the store because they rarely go on sale, and the regular price can be over $3.50 for 6 lousy {preservative filled} English Muffins.
Thankfully, my mother-in-law shared her recipe for English Muffin Bread with me and for the last few years, it has been our much tastier, much healthier, and much cheaper alternative to store bought English Muffins.
Today is the first day of school for Dave and for our two international students! Seriously, where did the summer go??? They all left the house at 6:50am this morning so Dave could make sure the girls knew exactly where their classes were, find their lockers, and so he could finish up a few last …

It sounds like many others have the same desire for spring produce because lately, I’ve received several emails asking how to save money on produce. I had a few of …

Have you ever tried making your own yogurt? If you are like me…probably not! I was perfectly content to purchase my store-bought yogurt and I figured homemade yogurt would be too difficult to make — and it can be.
