She has always given you the credit for it and has corrected me in the past on it. :-)Cagey (Kelli Oliver George)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13691589813815058981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-43223012418783454602011-09-26T08:25:46.412-05:002011-09-26T08:25:46.412-05:00MLE,

The problem is that I got it from her and that's how I tend to think of recipes. For example, the Baked Ziti isn't really "Celeste's" and the Chicken Divan isn't really "Caroline's" either. They both got the recipes elsewhere.Cagey (Kelli Oliver George)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13691589813815058981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-62692768718923798652011-09-25T22:09:24.532-05:002011-09-25T22:09:24.532-05:00Hey, that was MY chicken and squash bake thingy to...Hey, that was MY chicken and squash bake thingy to start with!MLEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301902783411290755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-74361841581925909972011-09-24T09:12:17.596-05:002011-09-24T09:12:17.596-05:00Bethany,

That might be a good place to start - then you can sample a variety of things and go from there.

Yep, I also love the money-saving aspects -- also, it keeps us from eating via drive-thrus.Cagey (Kelli Oliver George)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13691589813815058981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-5426633102143024182011-09-24T06:47:33.948-05:002011-09-24T06:47:33.948-05:00Ahhh, Daron's chili made your recipe book!

(I'm a total nerd and I have WAY too much fun planning meals for the week.)I like how it keeps shopping efficient, under-budget and planning eliminates the whole "what the hell am I going to make for dinner" after work on a Tuesday. Great post and smart tips! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
