From this point forward, all new post will be on my new blog: Dash of Evans. Originally, I was going to import all old posts to the new blog, but it ended up messing up my Pinterest links. SO, I'm going to leave this blog alone for the time being.

So why change?
When I started this blog FIVE years ago, I wanted to share coupon tips and how to save money. I will always be thrifty and cheap, but I wanted my name to show more than simply my frugality. Since my website is now more food based, it was time to switch.  

Don't worry, I'll still share budget tips for you! Feel free to email me with any questions you might have about coupons!

Let me know what you think and expect some awesome new recipes and video series ahead...when I find the time. Anyone else ready for back-to-school?!

Calling all students & teachers! Did you know that you can get a discount at T-Mobile?! 

Right now T-Mobile offers $48 off smartphones AND tablets, plus FREE shipping.  It applies to U.S college students and K-12 plus college staff.  You just have to head over to the store and show a valid student or employee ID.  The discount applies to popular devices, but excludes those under $100.

Mmmm Mondays: One Pot Sausage Rigatoni

I will admit, I was quite skeptical when I saw everyone posting about one-pot pastas. I assumed the pasta would be either crunchy or way over cooked. Where does all of the liquid go?

From the first time I tried it, though, I was HOOKED. I will never boil water separately again. We can now have a pasta dinner in less than 25 minutes and by cooking the pasta in the sauce, it gets SO much flavor.  Plus you only have one pan to wash. Or should I say, for Ricky to wash.

Watermelon Pina Colada #HamiltonBeachBlenders

Disclosure: I am a Hamilton Beach blogger. The blender was provided for me to create tasty recipes. All opinions and recipes are my own.

It's gonna be HOT this weekend here in Michigan. Woohoo! During the summer months, I am all about watermelon.  I freeze cubes for my water! My favorite use, though? In cocktails, of course! Watermelon + Coconut is my favorite summer combo right now.

#BringComfyBack With U by Kotex!

Since I was a teenager, I've had awful, awful periods. I need to be prepared for anything, so I usually wear liners no matter what. Plus they're great to wear during workouts!

Summer Boredom Buster: Yay Labs! Ice Cream Ball

Disclaimer: We received the Yay Labs Ice Cream Ball as part of the #StonyfieldBloggers program. All opinions are my own.

So we’re hitting that “I’m boooooored” part of summer. I’ve pulled out all of my tricks so far: exciting themed library trips, numerous trips to the zoo, fun craft mornings and now I’m just plain out of ideas.  It doesn’t help that the weather has been in the 90s all week. My girls have quite the Teen Beach 2 obsession going on too. I let them watch 20 minute chunks of it at a time so they aren’t zombies in front of the TV all day.
