Canning Your Own Chicken Stock
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 ...

As I mentioned late last week, I've been frantically working on my first ever ebook, Frugal Gardening 101: The Comprehensive Guide to Vegetable Gardening Without Breaking the Bank.

My Son Is Not Like Yours--So What?
No one is alike. We all know this right? I'm tall. Some may say I'm too tall for a girl. My hair is brown, and very thin. And I'm cool with that. Most days. I could stand to lose a little bit of weight. But chocolate keeps calling my name. I'm a Conservative Christian. ...

Home Canned Vegetable Soup
Oh fall, how I love these cool nights, changing colors, all things pumpkin, and soup. Yes, soup. My husband could live off of it, and honestly, so could I. It warms the soul after a tiring day and keeps a body warm on chilly nights. Something a lot of people don't realize about ...
Homemade Cleaners:: Orange Oil
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 ...
Almond Pear Scones {Sugar Free!}
With my last Azure Standard order we got 20# of pears. We love pears as much as the next person, but pears tend to go downhill pretty fast. In an effort to use them quickly, I started looking for various recipes with pears. In this quest I decided that I ...
52 Week Savings Challenge--Will You Join Me?
The 52 Week Savings Challenge isn't necessarily a new concept. I've seen it floating around for many years now, and it's always intrigued me. This year, I stumbled upon the idea again, and decided that this year I finally needed to jump in and do it. After all you only ...
Homemade Egg Rolls
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. So, why not make your own? :) [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:38] Y-U-M-M-Y!! It’s a lot cheaper than eating out and probably ...
