1. Chase Reward points I earned $27 in reward points from Chase this month. This was higher than usual, mostly due to using my credit card to pay for my daughter's tuition and books for this fall. We had some money saved in a Roth IRA to pay for this expense, but by paying it… Continue reading Frugal Things
Creamy Chicken Enchiladas (Low carb)
I tried a new low carb recipe out this week that was delicious and only contained five ingredients which makes it a keeper in my book.

It looked like a fun way to spend a hot afternoon indoors, so I whipped up a batch of dough and took it to my sister's house to make with her kids. All of the kids liked… Continue reading Moldable Chocolate Cookie Dough
