January 1, 2010

We made it another year! 2009 ended up being a pretty good year for us overall. I haven’t had a chance to do a recap of our 2009 goals yet, but I should have that posted next week sometime. Having a specific list of goals to concentrate really helped us to stay on track and [...]

Freezer Cooking

December 2, 2009

Over the past few months, I’ve really seen the benefit of having extra meals made up, and in the freezer. We all have those days where we just do not feel like making dinner, and eating out isn’t alwasy feasible–or budget friendly. FishMama and MoneySavingMom are hosting another cooking day. This time I’m focusing more [...]

Freezer Meals

November 5, 2009

I love being able to open my freezer to find homemade convience foods and meals waiting for me. It brings joy to my soul, and I’m able to feed my family quickly, healthfully and on a budget. This week, on Tuesday and Wednesday, FishMama and MoneySavingMom “hosted” a live tweeting/blogging Baking Day. I really wish [...]

Freezer Tips

November 4, 2009

I love dedicating a few days out of the month to baking and cooking in order to fill up my freezer. Doing so makes things so much easier for me on a week to week basis. If I have a particularly busy week, I don’t have to worry about finding the time to make our [...]

Homemade Applesauce

October 12, 2009

I truly think that my children could eat their weight in applesauce. While I am very happy that they love it, sometimes the store bought stuff is just laden with sugar, which to me, almost negates the nutritional benefit of the apples. When I stumbled upon an awesome deal on apples ($10 a bushel!), I [...]

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! I’ve always assumed that making applesauce and apple butter would be a laborous task, that wasn’t really worth the final effort. Part of my 2009 Goals, we wanted to get atleast [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

It is time to take a look back over the goals that we set for ourselves and our homes for 2009. I cannot say how glad I am that I actually set specific goals for myself this year. It truly has helped me! You can see my complete list of goals for this year here. [...]
