This is a tough one for me since I am really am a "smell" person! Lemons and homemade bread are pretty regular in my house... and they missed my FAVORITE smell which is the way your hands smell after handling tomato plants (random I know!). What would your two favorite be?!?

This is a tough one for me! Lemon and Homemade bread are pretty common in my house, strong coffee is vital to my existence, and I don't know that I believe new books actually have a smell. They missed one if my absolute favorites, which is the smell of tomato plants!!! What are your two faves?!?

Happy National Pie! I have no idea who came up with this holiday, but I am incredibly thankful they did! Strawberry Rhubarb pie is not one you normally think of, I'm sure... but somehow the combination of ingredients is absolutely AmaZinG! Let me know if you give it a try!

GUESS what is sale on this week at Food Lion??? Cucumbers! And to me, there are only two good uses for cukes... to get the ranch dip to my mouth... or to make homemade pickles! These are super easy refrigerator pickles that you can spice up or down! Let me know below if you would like the recipe!

It's Wednesday in Clayton... again. Shocking, right??? Just kidding... but one of the things that was weird for me when I first moved to the South was that all the grocery "specials" change on Wednesdays instead of Sundays! So I thought I would share one of my Weekly Rituals with you in case it comes in handy!

So every Wednesday when the local stores (i.e. Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, etc) change their specials... I sit down and make a quick list of what the sales are. With a larger family, grocery shopping can get extremely pricey without a little planning. When I say sales, I actually mean the BOGO, or Buy Two Get THREE type of things. I then take those items, and use my favorite recipe app (Normally Pinterest for me, but any would work), to come up with some new and cost saving recipes for our family. It helps us on a couple levels such as keeping a planned menu and trying new things... but also helps us keep costs lower than if we were just flying off the cuff every day. It also has helped me a lot in the past year from the irritating dash to the store because you don't have a dinner plan!

Here's a few examples of what may be on our menu next week!

It is also easy to incorporate things that you know you already have in your pantry or fridge to go ahead and use those up!

To make things more fun... go ahead and share this page with some of your friends, and feel free to invite them to follow and like! When you do so, tell them to comment GROCERY with your name and each one will earn you a chance to win a weekly prize! Make sure you also send me a DM with your contact information (and maybe a favorite recipe) and I will enter you to win a $50 gift card to the grocery store of your choosing! Next Wednesday, I will pull a winner, and reach out to you for your prize!
