I am a stay-at-home with a 2 1/2 year old daughter. I am also a full-time college student and taking all of my classes online so I can still be at home. I am always looking for cheap ways to do stuff from decorating to cooking to cleaning. I also love a quick and easy way to clean effectively. My daughter got staff infection when she was just 11 months old and I am constantly cleaning everything from cabinets to floors and even my walls. We have a dog that stays inside and between him and my daughter there is always a mess to be cleaned! Time is precious and I don't want to spend all my time trying to stay on top of housework and school work. I appreciate any advice and am willing to try anything! With the economy the way it is right now, I am always trying to figure out a cheap way to feed my family that is also healthy since my husband is into eating healthy. I am only 25, but have learned a lot from Mom and am still learning.

Super cheap and they served the grits in the small, clear beverage cups and offered different toppings like sausage, bacon, cheese, sugar, butter, mushrooms, onions, syrup, or anything else she could think of. It was a huge hit! To go with this they also did things like fried okra, black-eyed pea salad, corn nuggets, and fried green tomatoes. I know that the tomatoes could get time consuming and a little expensive, but the grits bar could be done really cheap and still be served really fancy! Hope this helps. ... View related article.
