Book Review: Family Feasts for $75 a Week.

This is a wonderfull cookbook from a blogging mom! You can read about her and her family of 12 at Owlhaven.

After reading the book, I like the wonderful Mrs. Ostyn writes about her family life and how she adapts recipes for her family. I like the easy recipes and her hints on ways to make them even for frugal!

I fixed Chili Corn Pone Pie (pg 112) for my family the other day. Overall it recieved good reviews. The only desenter was my youngest who is not partial to beans, expect of the green variety. LOL For my family, I will make it saucier next time, but there will be a next time with this recipe. Which is a good thing!

So, if you are in the market for a new cookbook, check out "Family Feasts for $75 a Week" by Mary Ostyn.

**I am not receiving any kind of compensation for this review. I even bought the cookbook myself.**

Menu funk!

Yes, I said it! I am in a menu funk! Nothing sounds good lately! I feel as if I fix the same things over and over!

The weird part....it has now gotten colder, so I can make soups and stews.....but am I motivated? NO!

I really need to get my cookbooks out. I also have a TON of crockpot recipes to go through. (Thanks Kayla!)

What do you do when you get in a "menu funk"? Or is it just something that I go through? LOL

**Other than having no voice, nothing exciting is going on here currently.**
