The “Meals that Hamburger Helper was TRYING to Imitate” Carnival!

January 28th, 2010 · 10 Comments · Upgraded Nutrition, carnivals, recipes

I’ve been promoting this round-up as a chance to share your one-dish, one-pot or skillet meals that are pseudo-hamburger-helper-esque, but I realized tonight when I was trying to think of a real title for the carnival that it’s the box that is trying to be like our kitchens, not the other way around.

Recipe Connection: Wanna-be Lasagna Skillet Pasta

January 28th, 2010 · 3 Comments · recipes

Recipe Connection: Apple Squares (You can Freeze ‘Em!)

November 5th, 2009 · 23 Comments · recipes

I have a bad habit of leaving things in my freezer too long.  It’s not that I don’t know they’re there.  In fact, I’m very organized and (almost) always have a good handle on what’s in my freezer.  It’s just that I’m such a born conservationist.  I tend to think, “I need to save these [...]

Successful Hamburger Helper Substitute!

October 23rd, 2009 · 35 Comments · Do It Yourself, Kids in the Kitchen, Upgraded Nutrition, recipes

My husband is not always a fan of the healthy changes I make in the kitchen, but the man has to eat.  He doesn’t want to cook for himself, so he’s generally compliant so that his belly gets full.  He does understand and appreciate my concern for our family’s health, but sometimes my “I’m-not-going-to-buy-this-anymore” decisions [...]
