Chicken and Quinoa Casserole

Chicken and Quinoa Casserole (hearty and healthy) My ex was a very picky eater, so convincing him to try something like quinoa just wasn’t going to happen. And if I suggested something like a broccoli and chicken casserole? Forget it. So, when I suggested trying this next recipe to Kyle, I wasn’t sure how it was going to go over. Sure, he’s been a lot more open to trying things and hasn’t said no to anything I’ve suggested. But this, I thought, might be pushing it because it was a chicken and quinoa casserole. Personally, I love quinoa but hadn’t cooked with it too much in the past few years because I was the only one eating it. Then, I came across a delicious casserole…

As we’re in the midst of Winter, and if you’re in the Northeast then you’re probably ready for winter to be over, I wanted to start a new seasonal series. Every two or three months, we’ll start presenting a list of free or almost free frugal family activities that you can do. Sometimes the list will be outdoor ideas, sometimes they’ll be indoor ideas. But for the most part, it will involve stuff that’s nearby or that you may already have on hand. The point to this series is: you don’t have to spend a lot of money to have fun as a family. And since we’re striving to be more frugal, we’re happy to share whatever we come up with in terms of frugal…

How to Have a Budget Friendly Valentine’s Day

Ah, Valentine’s Day. It seems that most people are in one of two camps: either you enjoy this holiday or you loathe this holiday. I’m in the second camp, mostly because I see Valentine’s Day as overly commercialized.  I haven’t bought anything for Kyle and he knows not to buy anything for me. We don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day with gifts, cards, or things like that. We honor Valentine’s Day every day of the year in the sense of showing love and appreciation. But that’s not to say that we won’t do something special- maybe for the kiddos, just not for us. We’re also trying to keep a close eye on our finances so instead we look for budget friendly Valentine’s Day ideas. Budget Friendly Valentine’s…
