I’ve got to hurry up and use the recipes we’d like to share from her cookbook as she’s already started, “You through with my cookbook yet?” Women!

This is one other example of stretching a dollar, but not cutting corners in regards to serving your family a good meal. A can of green beans, sweet peas, or a tossed salad on the side…you’re good to go.
