March 3, 2012

  Welcome to another edition of Salvaged Sunday, where we make the most of our trash! This week I’m sharing an idea that a friend found on Pinterest and I knew I had to try it.  It still needs a little bit of tweaking to fit our taste–but we’ve still enjoyed it nonetheless. How to [...]

To Can or Not to Can?

November 9, 2011

When you’re trying to cook as many meals as you can at home, you find that you need more and more kitchen gadgets.  Or at least I did.  Being the frugal person that I am, initially I had a very hard time shelling out money for those gadgets, when my goal was to save money, [...]

Home Canning Refried Beans

July 6, 2011

Homemade refried beans are on our menu atleast once a week.  If we’re not having them in our quesadillas, we’re having them alongside our tacos, enchiladas or in a taco salad.  They’re frugal and packed with flavor, two musts in our kitchen!

Making Crockpot Apple Butter

October 9, 2009

I remember eating homemade apple butter as a kid and thinking that it was the best thing. Ever. Let me tell you, it is!

Baking Day Update

October 7, 2009

I’ve had so much fun baking the last few days. While I have been alone in my kitchen with nothing more than my radio going (and an occassional 4 year old, when he isn’t at school), I know that I have my Twitter friends who are baking along with me. Twitter was all a buzz [...]

Canning Green Beans

September 23, 2009

Many home gardeners grow green beans. If you are anything like I was, when harvest time came I had no idea what I was going to do with all of them. I’m no fan of frozen green beans and I was terrified of the pressure canner. Something had to give somewhere. I had to overcome [...]

Corn Cob Jelly Recipe

September 3, 2009

I’m sure that the first thing you think of when you hear “corn cobs”, is definitely not jelly. After you try this recipe, though, it will be! Awhile back, my mom-in-law and I went to the local farmer’s market. When we were there, we met a lady who was selling all sorts of crazy jellies, [...]

A full pantry is a huge blessing and a big relief in those times when the grocery budget is feeling a little squeeze. This year we have been blessed with bountiful garden harvests. I am so amazed! Everytime I am harvesting our crops or putting them up so we can enjoy them in the cool [...]
