Carrot Almond Raisin Salad

September 10, 2012

What’s a girl to do when she has an overflow of carrots, raisins, almonds, and even oranges? Make a salad, that’s what! I created this Carrot Raisin Almond Salad after getting in our Azure Standard order.  It is modeled after the {apparently} famous Carrot Raisin Salad {that I had never heard of or tasted}.  I’m [...]

Homemade Egg Rolls

August 29, 2012

It’s no secret that we love Asian flavors and dishes.  One of our many weaknesses is egg rolls.  Purchasing them at the Chinese Restaurant {or from the grocery store} will quickly break the food budget.

July 30, 2012

The last few months I’ve been experimenting a lot with making my own homemade cleaners.  I’ve found that not only are homemade cleaners frugal, but they use ingredients that I already have in my pantry and they perform just as good {if not better!} than my favorite commercial cleaners. Homemade Orange Oil Cleaner is one [...]

Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

July 19, 2012

While technically this Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream recipe should probably be called Strawberry Cheesecake Frozen Yogurt, to me if it’s dairy and it’s frozen–it’s ice cream!  Period.

Make Your Own Vanilla Extract

June 26, 2012

As a way to cut our grocery bill, I make as much as I can at home, while still attempting to keep my sanity. This generally means that I  make all of our snacks, baked goods included.  Which means a ridiculous amount of vanilla is used in our home! I’m not a big fan of [...]

Canning Your Own Chicken Stock

June 11, 2012

Store bought chicken broth or stock doesn’t even compare to the richness of homemade broth.  Since making homemade chicken broth is so easy, it makes it a great DIY Homemade Convenience Food. I used to always store my homemade chicken broth in the freezer {just like my cooked beans}–but I’ve found that canning it not [...]

Home Canning Oranges

May 15, 2012

A couple of years ago, I had absolutely no idea that you could safely can oranges. I filed this little bit of knowledge in my mental “I have got to do that!” file and saved it for the day I found a great deal on oranges. That was last week! Azure Standard had 38 pound [...]

Thumbnail image for How to Cook the Perfect Turkey {Stress Free!}

April typically isn’t when everyone is thinking of cooking up turkeys.  Cooking whole turkeys {hams, and even chickens} is an easy way for us to save money on our grocery budget–so we do it rather frequently. A few years ago, Smockity Frocks introduced to me to a stress-free way of cooking turkeys, and I haven’t [...]
