Valentine Gnome Tutorial
If you are looking for a snowy day craft you can do with the kids--I have the perfect one for you today!

One of our family's very favorite winter meals is a roast chicken. Everyone in my house will eat it and it can be a great economical meal because you can use the leftover shredded chicken in so many ways.

The roasted chickens in the store can be around $12 but if you get whole chickens on sale, this recipe can feed our family of 5 all for around 8 dollars with leftovers. A way better ... View the Post
