If you haven’t figured out by now (or don’t know because you’re new to my blog), I like to save money on food every chance I get. And I’m not talking about cheaply made food. I’m talking about quality. On that note, I’ve yet to find a grocery store that is cheaper than Aldi. (I’ve […]
Creamy Iced Vanilla Irish Breakfast Tea
Nothing like a cool drink to refresh yourself during a warm afternoon! :) …Made this iced drink after coming inside from gardening (working on a new row where I’ll plant more carrots!). Using the Irish breakfast tea still in my mug from breakfast, I added 3 more ingredients in the following order to my glass: […]

Making and Baking Homemade Bread WITHOUT a Breadmaker!
Mmmmm. There’s nothing like the smell of fresh, homemade bread filling the air. Brings back memories of living at my home in Nashville, TN. Mom would make a huge loaf (almost 4 lbs, I bet!) of whole wheat bread about once a week. If it had JUST come out of the oven, my family would […]

Homemade Nutty and Sweet Granola: A Crunchy, Munchy Breakfast or Snack

Back in Johnson City, Kroger was the only grocery store that consistently had good deals. But pineapple for $.99? Seriously? And a 10-lbs bag of potatoes […]
Steamed, Thyme-Seasoned Squashes with Rice and Kidney Beans
Today I was looking for a recipe to use up some leftovers, especially the squashes from Crabtree FarmsĀ in my freezer that I’d diced up earlier this month. Here’s the recipe I came up with that both Cobalt and I think is one of the best ones I’ve made since we got married this past June. […]

Recipe Modification: Chocolate Mocha Brownies
Heehee, here’s that recipe for the “interesting brownies” I was talking about on my facebook page. – – – – – I’ve been craving brownies for a while…. Rich, FUDGY, chocolate-y brownies. But alas! I don’t have any cocoa powder or chocolate chips – an obvious necessity for anything chocolate! When I began looking for […]
Homemade Three Bean Burgers
I’ve wanted to make bean burgers for about a week now but I forgot until I suggested the idea to Cobalt late tonight. He was excited about it and even helped me with this recipe and pictures :) As we often do, Cobalt and I used the ingredients that we had in our fridge and […]
