I get to customize them with my own ingredients and save money since spices, vinegars, and oils cost so much less than the bottled marinades and sauces. Sure, you can get some of those items inexpensively by combining sales and coupons, but quite honestly, homemade tastes so much better!

The following post is from Shaina of Food for My Family and Olmanson Photography: Whatever type of fruit snack catches your kids’ eyes, there’s a reason for it. Sweet and stretchy, fruit that is flat and colorful is fun to eat, and in my experience, it’s even better if it’s rolled. I can’t count how [...]
