@25bucksaweek We will let you know of new menus and recipes!! Thanks for visiting us.

This week I got a great buy on a spiral cut ham. It has lots of flavor and makes quick meals. Starting with a big Sunday dinner to breakfast sandwiches to scalloped potatoes and ending the week a hearty bean soup. Yes you eat a lot of ham this week but it does freeze if you want to use it later, especially the bone for a future soup. I’m trying to point out that even though the ham is a big part of the budget this week it is versatile and stretches your money. Also this week for a special occasion I have ice cream on the menu. I usually get a pint of heavy whipping cream for under $1.70. I make my own because I don’t eat sugar( I make a batch with 2 tablespoons of locally sourced honey) and it tastes so good that most people lick the bowl. Will post it soon. The secret is a good vanilla. Serve it with a great fruit crisp.
