  • How many times have you thrown food away because it spoiled before you ate it?
  • We changed our approach to food and have stretched our savings and food stores by using these few tricks.
  • Buying nuts in bulk is cheaper, but you don't want them to go back.  Separate them into air tight containers until you're ready to use them.
  • We freeze our own beans!  We soak them and divide them into meal size servings and lay them flat to freeze.
  • We portion our meats and freeze them.
  • Just make sure to label the freezer bag with the date and remove as much air as possible.
  • We do this for all our meats - chicken, ground beef, ground turkey, pork loin steaks. 3
  • TIP! Save all your chicken scraps, skin and bones, as well as any vegetable scraps.  I store them in a freezer bag and once the bag is full, I slow cook the scraps into a broth.  I let the broth cool and skim the fat, then store it!
  • For portion control, freeze your cookie dough. We fly through a batch of cookies in a few days.  Roll the dough into small balls and freeze them.
  • Transfer them to a freezer bag with the baking instructions on the outside.  Only take out the number of cookies you want to eat.
  • We make our own granola.  It's so easy, just find your favorite recipe and make. Much cheaper than store bought without all the preservatives. 1
  • One of our biggest money savers is making our own pizza.  We buy frozen dough in bulk.  We've made our own pizza sauce, too.  Each pizza comes to about $2.75! 1
  • Making your own bread may be daunting, but it's really quite easy.  One recipe we use makes two loaves.

  • My Faux Chalk Art Coasters!
  • Step 1: Once again I used the Martha Stewart Adhesive Silkscreens for this project!
  • Step 2: Using a foam pouncer apply the paint over the silkscreen, and  onto the slate tile.
  • Step 3: Peel off the silkscreen right away, and wash it out, so that you can reuse it.
  • That's it! Cute right? I think they would make a great gift! Stop by my blog for the links to the supplies!

My garden cupola

A friend brought over some old windows knowing that I would do something fun with them. The outcome? This fun large garden cupola over my septic tank! The roof is plastic ceiling tiles.

The Ultimate Seed Starting Guide

Here is a collection of posts from the Garden Therapy Seed Starting Series. Seed Starting 101 covers the basics of starting seeds. We then look at those crafty seed starting containers ...»
and put them to the test - do toilet rolls and egg cartons really make sensible seed starters? If you want to buy your pots, we look at those too - is it worth the money for those biodegradable pots and are they really better for the earth? Take care of your seed until they are ready for the garden with a Grow Light project and there is also a project for starting seeds outdoors in mini greenhouses!

Camellias in January

This is the first year that this plant is really nice. Every year I had lots of buds but they fell off the plant. ...»

I read about diseases/bugs on Hometalk and sprayed the plants even though they had many buds & it worked. I love Hometalk.
