Venus in the Kitchen

Wow - a wonderful discovery! At a time when my world is so crammed with activities and commitments that I think I might crack at the seams, I discover my school friend Venus is a personal chef. BRILLIANT! She creates yummy meals for you and your family, right in your kitchen, or makes them for you to freeze and prepare later. Entertaining? She'll wow your guests! Special diets? No problem! In fact, she's going help me with dishes that are gluten-free for my daughter.

And what is Venus making for her own family tonight? Pecan Crusted Tilapia in a Butter Rum Sauce. Uh...yeah....I think we were going to do Tuna Casserole. Venus, I need help!

Check out her website, Venus in the Kitchen. Let me know what you think :) She's awesome!

Crunch Time

Yikes! Going to the grocery store is getting scary! Trying to keep good, healthy snacks in the house without draining the bank account is a challenge. I used to spend a lot of time checking the circulars and flyers and running around town to grab the best deals. But with gas so high now, I'm eating up my savings in fuel.

What are you doing to cut costs at your house?
