I received free samples of Libby’s new Vegetable Pouches mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Libby’s and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time. My mom had always made some really strange, creative, delicious things by basically throwing whatever she felt like eating into a bowl. This has resulted in the weird mix of cream corn with…
Read moreFinally finished my Halloween costume, wooo! Do you make a costume or buy one at the store? I used to buy one when I was younger (well, my parents bought them, obvi) but ever since I made one a few years ago (River Song!) I haven’t gone back. I don’t like make them, make them.

Then it’s settled. Fall shall henceforth be called…
Read moreTruth time: I love Manwich. Are you all full of judgment over that? You shouldn’t be, it’s delicious. Buuuuuut, let’s not talk about how the second ingredient is sugar. And the 4th. And the 6th. True, there is added sugar in my homemade version. True, there’s even two kinds of sugar. But they’re a bit more natural and better fit into the realm of things I like to eat. Not saying I don’t like eating sugar, I…
Read moreBy posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by the National Pasta Association and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time. I can’t be the only one constantly craving a big bowl of pasta for dinner. It’s quick, it’s inexpensive, and it’s SO comforting. If you’re in your right mind and agree with me, you’ll be happy to know that October is…
