About Us

I am a stay at home mom with four wonderful kids. I have been married for over 10 years to my best friend. I am head over heels in love with him. He always supports my crazy "thrifty adventures". We have a lot of fun together.

I was raised on a small dairy farm. Where I learned very young, the value of hard work and how to be thrifty in all areas of life. Growing up our meals were made from scratch. Only on special occasion would we get name brand cereal, chips, or any other fancy treats. Now that I am a Mom with my own budget, the basic foods always comes first. I too make most of our meals from scratch and take pride in feeding my family a well balanced healthy diet.

I enjoy seeing how far I can make our budget stretch, and when I take the time to match sales with coupons I am able to get all those "fun & fancy" items that would other wise be out of my budget. Being thrifty has always been a way of life for me, but it has also become a real joy.

Recipe – Cilantro Ranch Dressing

This is part 2 to the recipe I posted earlier today for the Sweet Shredded Pork.  This is the Dressing that goes on the tacos…it is SO GOOD.  I like to eat it over beans and rice as well…heck I could drink it…lol.

You will Need:

  • 1 pkt Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
  • 8 oz can Salsa Verde Green Salsa ( come in a can)
  • 1/2 Bunch of cilantro with stems ( washed)
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1/4 cup Mayo
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon Hot Sauce

Put all ingredients in a blender, and mix till  smooth and creamy….add buttermilk to thin if needed.  It will be thin a first and thicken up over time.  So I always thin it down a bit. If you do not have buttermilk, normal milk works just fine.  This is great on tacos, salads, Chip dip….love it!
