Art doesn't have to be overly large and complex. In fact, if you can imagine it, you can create it as art. I needed two pieces of artwork - cheaply and quickly! - to replace two self-portraits my kids didn't believe represented them well anymore (they felt their own images were too childish!). Not wanting to spend oodles of money and lots of time shopping, I decided to use this as an opportunity to drive home a message I repeat often: Stay Focused.

Spaghetti Squash Remixed – The Day After

ElleDoesIt — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 13:28:09 +0000

Spaghetti squash is my new favorite side dish thanks to this recipe and inspiration from the My Good House website. I always thought spaghetti squash was some obscure food I'd probably only eat by chance, say, as a side at a restaurant. That thinking was pretty off-kilter. I found the squash to have both a great flavor and interesting texture. The fact that it’s within reach budget-wise really helps.

Muffin Mixes – Kids in the Kitchen

I love pouch mixes. They are often both inexpensive and quick & easy to prepare. One example is the Betty Crocker muffin mix. My favorites are the Chocolate Chip mix and the Blueberry mix. The two are ideal for muffins in a hurry. Even better, they only require a little water - no milk, no eggs, no oil… fantastic for when the cupboards are running a little bare.
