Remember the melon jungle I had in my garden a few weeks ago. I finally harvested my first fruit. This cantaloupe was so sweet, juicy and delicious. I picked it just in time. I also picked my first watermelon. I swear it was as heavy as my first born. I was so proud… Ouch. I […]

Have you ever seen such a beautiful ice cream sundae? We eat a lot of ice cream in the summertime. Well, who am I kidding, we eat ice cream year round. Before kids, it was nothing for hubby and me to go to get ice cream several times a week. We are within walking or […]

A Garden Fresh Frittata makes such a frugal meal. It gives you an opportunity to be creative and clear out your refrigerator. We personally don’t grow zucchini, but we get a lot of it from neighbors. I like to serve this yummy frittata for dinner with a garden salad and fresh fruit. The recipe also […]

Is zucchini multiplying in your garden? I don’t grow it personally, but we get a lot of it in our CSA box. One of my favorite recipes is Chocolate chip zucchini muffins. The recipe is actually for bread, but to cut down on oven time in the summer, I pour the batter into muffin tins […]

For the first time ever, I planted one watermelon plant and one cantaloupe plant this year. It was a last minute decision at the nursery and when I brought them home I realized that I didn’t really have a lot of space for them, so I just kind of stuck them where I could find […]

Back in June I wrote about our financial to-do list and all of the things that we need to take care of. Our number one priority was to get a will. We started working on it this week. We are using Suze Orman’s Will & Trust kit that I purchased from her website. Once purchased, […]

Do you pay attention to the price per unit when shopping for groceries? Do you have a price book or list that you keep with you to track your “buy” prices? The price you are willing to purchase a product at because you know it is at it’s lowest price. I am always intrigued when […]

A couple of weeks ago, I had a craving for homemade cookies. The summer days had cooled down a bit around here, so I didn’t feel bad about turning on the oven. I opened my cupboards and found some butterscotch morsels with a recipe on the back for “Oatmeal Scotchies”. SOLD! The recipe was fairly […]

We weren’t planning on hitting any yard sales this past Saturday, but as we were heading home from a night of camping on Friday night, we passed a sale near our house. My husband is as addicted to a good yard sale as I am and he pulled the van over so we could check […]

I feel like a new mother all over again. I planted broccoli for the first time this spring and I harvested it this week. I received the free tiny broccoli plants when I took a gardening seminar at a local nursery back in May. My daughter and I excitedly planted them, because broccoli is a […]
