When I started blogging, I noticed that many bloggers, at least in the personal finance niche, also did freelance writing on the side.

Sometimes quiche gets classified as a breakfast food because it’s made with eggs, but not in our house. Quiche is a dinner dish for us. It’s fast, frugal, and often meatless. If it’s not already in your dinner rotation, you should give it a try. In my effort to share with you some of the meals […]
Why My First Blog Failed– Don’t Make These Mistakes
I’m pretty sure I haven’t mentioned that Six Figures Under was not my first blog. I don’t talk much about my first attempt at blogging. Why? Because it was a failure. A complete flop!

As the mom chef of my family, there is nothing more gratifying than making a meal that everyone approves of.
