The following post is from Kate of Modern Alternative Mama: I've been making a butterscotch sauce for awhile, but recently I didn't have much extra butter (oh no!) and decided that I didn't want to use what I had on making the butterscotch.

This month's Eat Well, Spend Less theme is food for the holidays! While overnight dishes are my favorite ones to serve on Christmas because they allow me to focus on my family while still serving a delicious meal, they're not just for Christmas morning! Overnight breakfasts are perfect for the entire holiday season, with its…
My favorite part of Thanksgiving is easily the next few days.

The following post is from Kate of Modern Alternative Mama: I get excited as each season arrives for the food that it brings with it. I loved eating blueberries, peaches, and tomatoes this summer. Now it's apple season, and I've had bags of them around my house for the last few weeks. We love them!…
The following post is from Shaina of Food for My Family and Olmanson Photography: When I was growing up, my dad would spend some time in the early autumn on a fishing trip. He'd head north with his uncle and cousins, searching for cold, clear water right on the border between Canada and Minnesota. I…
The following post is from Shaina of Food for My Family and Olmanson Photography: My kids are headed back to school today.
