Whenever I clean out my freezer, I inevitably find a few bags of bread ends that no one has bothered to finish using. Most likely that person was me, since I have this aversion to eating the end of a loaf of bread in a sandwich while it doesn’t even phase my husband. But those […]

I spent a lot of time this past spring shoveling out the old clay dirt that was in my garden and replacing it with the mix that is recommended in the book, Square Foot Gardening. It was hard work and there was an initial expense, but I knew I wouldn’t have to deal with the […]

Grilled Banana Splits

I’m taking a summer classic up a notch. When I was grilling pineapple last week, my head was buzzing with all sorts of ideas for the grilled fruit. Why not grill bananas too and make homemade, grilled banana splits? My husband and I LOVE banana splits, but they are usually the most expensive item on […]

This September we will be celebrating 10 years in our home. The house came with very few appliances. Upon moving in, we needed a washer, dryer and refrigerator. Within two years after moving in, we purchased a new oven, microwave, dishwasher and freezer. The home came with central air conditioning and when we had it […]

Cantaloupe is one of my most favorite things to grow in the garden. The taste is unbelievable, so sweet and juicy. In years past, the plants took over my garden and spilled into the yard, so I changed my planting strategy for the melons this year and planted upward, not at ground level. I followed […]

How to Grill Pineapple

  The grill isn’t just for chicken and burgers. It takes fruitsĀ to a whole new level. Last summer, I grilled peaches and added homemade whipped cream. I thought I had gone through the pearly gates; it was that delicious. As I wait patiently for peach season in PA, I have been grilling pineapple. The grilling […]

We have an envelope, in an undisclosed location, where we keep cash. It is not an emergency fund or our monthly cash allowance and there isn’t a lot of cash in the envelope. Yet it is a place where we can go to if we need a quick $10-$20 for a last minute pizza dinner […]

If you aren’t growing green beans, you might want to consider it. They are the gift that keeps on giving. I planted 4 squares worth in my square foot garden and we have had them twice for dinner so far. I just put 5 cups in my freezer and many young beans are still on […]

My back-to-school bargains from last year: As depressing as it might be, the back-to-school season will soon be upon us. As much as I want summer to linger on as long as possible, I also don’t want to miss out on all of the loss leaders that stores will be throwing at us over the […]

My hot peppers are growing faster than I can use them, so I popped them in the freezer. I washed them, cut the tops off and because they are long peppers, I cut them in half and put them in a freezer bag. Make sure to squeeze the air out of the bag. In the […]
