Meet Baby Foodie. He keeps me hopping around here, along with his older brother, Little Foodie. They love to be in the kitchen with me, which means they’re often into everything as I’m cooking. Little Foodie, my four year old, is my constant shadow, and you’ll see him in a lot of the pictures on…

Simple Homemade Hummus
My Simple Homemade Hummus recipe is being featured today on CenterCutCook.com! It’s so easy and so good! I left out the tahini, which I think is kind of bitter and overpriced. But you won’t miss it with all of the fresh lemon and parsely in this recipe! Hummus is a great way to sneak more…
Black Bean Hummus
I’m so excited! My friends Ashley and Ryan are featuring some of my newest recipes on their website, Center Cut Cook.com! This site is famous for their “Chocolate Lasagna” recipe that went viral all over Facebook and the rest of the social media world a while back. They’ve got a lot of other great ones…
Easy Does It Guacamole
Lately I’m seeing a lot of advertisements for things with guacamole slathered all over them. Usually it’s around lunch time when I notice this, and usually my lunch has no resemblance to the awesomeness I see being advertised. So what’s a frugal foodie mom to do except make her own big, beautiful, batch of creamy…
Kim’s Hot Cacao
Hot cacao? In the middle of July? Oh yes. I guarantee once you get hooked on this stuff you won’t care WHAT month it is, as long as you have some. You see, I gave up coffee last October. Crazy, right? Unfortunately, I’ve become increasingly intolerant of it over the years. I haven’t had soda…
Kim’s Five-Way Chili
Say it with me now (in your best Homer Simpson voice): Mmmmmm. Chili! There’s nothing like a good hot bowl of chili, even in the summer. For us, it’s a year round comfort food that also happens to be pretty good for you. I make mine with ground turkey instead of beef. It has a…
Strawberry Salsa: Attempt #1
When I was a kid, sometimes I got hungry enough to go into the kitchen and whip up with some really weird concoctions. My mom would get after me about it and laugh. Doesn’t everyone make peanut butter and jelly pancakes or chocolate banana slop? As long as it tasted good, I didn’t care. I’ve…
Brownie Batter Smoothies
Let me introduce you to my “favoritest” smoothie in the whole wide world. Anyone who knows me and sees me on a regular basis has seen me toting these around. I love them and would marry them if I could. They helped me break my Dairy Queen addiction, as well as my sugar and coffee…

Frugal Moms Flag Berry Trifle
They say imitation is the best form of flattery. It can also be downright scrumptious. I was planning on making a traditional flag cake for our 4th of July cookout, but when I saw this “Patriotic Berry Trifle” in a Kroger ad, I knew I had to make it!
