I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.
Looking for a few good recipes for St. Patrick’s Day? Here are a few of my favorites:
Guinness Black and Tan Brownies
Do YOU make anything special for St. Patrick’s Day?

We have Reuben sandwiches every year with homemade Russian dressing and a creamed cruciferous cabbage kale blend seasoned with dill ( and cream and butter).

We LOVE the guiness beef stew! I finally made the soda bread but during preparation I had a screaming 1 year old trying to climb up my leg so I totally forgot to add the butter!!! Guess what…it was amazing without it!!! You weren’t kidding about this bread being dense, had I thrown the whole loaf at someone it could have done some damage!! And yes, hungry “lumberjacks” approve this recipe 😉 I live with all boys…my 6’4″ 300lb HH, my 5 year old who looks 7 and my 1 year old who looks 2 thank you very much for their yummy dinner 😉
