**Updated to add in pricing** The day is done and so am I!  I was able to complete most of my Once a Month Cooking List, which honestly, is far more than I thought I would get done.  Originally I had planned on doing the Lazy Granola after dinner this evening, but I really have [...]

Easy Meatball Recipe

January 19, 2010

My family loves meatballs, however I forget about how easy and versatile they are. As part of our New Year’s Eve snacks, I made meatballs with a homemade barbeque-like sauce. We devoured them! Not only do we like them by themselves, but we also like to serve them on french bread baguettes, as a pizza [...]

How to Use Fresh Pumpkins

September 28, 2009

A few years back I found it rather daunting and frightening to even think about using a fresh pumpkin for anything more than a Jack-O-Lantern. Now, the stuff in the can just doesn’t appeal to me. The flavor from a fresh pumpkin is incredibly amplified compared to the canned variety. Surprisingly enough, they aren’t difficult [...]

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 [...]

Q & A: Wheat

August 27, 2009

Earlier this week when I posted on Grinding Wheat, there were a flood of questions that came in. Instead of answering them all by email, which is what I usually do, I decided to do a post since a lot of the same questions were addressed. If you still have questions, fell free to ask [...]

Buying in Bulk

August 26, 2009

While I’ve always had a pretty good stash of food, there was never really a reason behind. Most of the time it was the result of my obsession with numbers, and not being able to buy less than 3 of anything. I’m getting better. Maybe. Since I have been consistently making our food from scratch, [...]
