Some things are cheaper anyways, lol. Obviously the quality we get from homegrown, if we were to purchase it, we'd be paying much, much more. Like $3.99/lb for "hormone free" and all that... The only thing is, I thought it was ILLEGAL to use hormones in chicken? Anyways, our chicken is more...

One thing I've quit doing.... buying laundry soap, soap and now eggs from the store completely. Haven't purchased laundry soap in something like five years, and haven't purchased soap at the store in probably six (haven't purchased it from anyone else in about three or four years). The eggs are...

I used to use about 5lbs of mozz on a cookie sheet sized pizza. I LOVE my cheese. How much cheese do other people use? I'm also a fan of extra sauce... And I like my goodies all UNDER the cheese instead of on top of it. WBF, canadian bacon?! I wonder if it'd work well with eggs benedict? I've...

*Snap* There's 5lbs of mozz for $10.88. To be honest, I think the last time I bought mozz, it was $8 something, but still, that's a hell of a lot better than $25! I guess my main problem with Sam's club or any other good deals, is that I look for that precious $1.99/lb. I'm SOO cheap right now...

Since NONE of us will touch the yolk in a hard boiled egg (except in egg salad), I was wondering... Can I soft boil the eggs, take the egg apart, save the yolk and then pickle the whites, and save the yolks for hollandaise sauce?

It's getting harder to get decent food. The garden still is a fight, the birds are still sometimes managing to get in and destroy everything they can. It's getting better though, and I'm praying to get something out of it still. Today, I had to run to the grocery store... 10lbs of potatoes, 1...

Well, I've made the decision that tomorrow is butcher day. I just cannot afford to feed them any longer. They're at 7 weeks and pathetic. Very few have made it to 5lbs... Like, one or two maybe, the rest are all probably 4lbs and maybe even less. I'm NOT pleased with the efforts and costs put...

It's a hard question to answer. I am not religious in any way. I do not believe in an afterlife. I believe that this is it, after we're done here, we're done, period. I also believe that I need to do the best for my family first, but would be very hard pressed to turn away someone with a small...

Personally, on the shelf-cleaning, I just think it's somewhat self-centered. I don't know how else to put it. If the power goes out and we have stocks at home, why on earth would we rush to the store to clean out the store, when someone else might have three little kids who NEED that food? Yes...

Hmm, I liked it, though I very highly doubt that luck would run my way with 6k+ entries, lol. But, I look forward to your current and future posts on facebook, so it's all good.

I USED to. Until I realized that I was being judgmental about it and stopped. George has always stuck around the "good sections" of the grocery store. He hits the candy aisle though, then it's meats, produce and milk. Once in a blue moon he'll hit the canned aisle. Me? Once in awhile I'll get...

It's definitely my birds digging under. I've watched the brats doing it. :/ I have chickens, turkeys and ducks. The turkeys very rarely get caught in there. It's 2" poultry fence, but it's only 2' tall. Mostly, they tromple the fencing, since we have mostly sticks to support it. The boys were...

I just tossed a few granules of epsom salt into my mouth and swallowed. I did suck on it awhile, because it definitely does have an interesting taste to it, lol.

Gram's no-bake cookies! 2c Sugar 1 Stick butter .5c Cocoa .5c Milk Mix, cook til boiling. Boil for two minutes, remove from stove and add: 1t Vanilla .5c Peanut Butter 3c Oatmeal Then you just spoon them out onto a cookie sheet or anything that's flat and food-safe. You can use wax paper...

Which could be why my back hurts like the dickens and I've been craving chocolate, lol. Just been too lazy to go get a epsom salt bath.

Well, my garden WOULD have done VERY well this year, except for the birds. I can NOT keep them out of the garden. They tear the fence down, dig under it, fly over it, etc. My tomato plants look like something out of a fairy tale, but they get eaten right before they start to turn orange. I'm...

No bake cookies are to die for. And instead of sugar on the spoon, try sugar on a piece of bread. As kids, this was a special treat we made for ourselves... Take a piece of bread, spread sugar all over it, dump the excess back into the sugar bowl and chow down. Soooo freakin good!

Your best bet for purchased candy is not bulk, but stalking the stores the day after Halloween, Easter and the like. It's usually 50% off. Making your own is a brilliant idea as well. My friend makes hard candies and chocolates, my mother makes "gourmet" chocolates (with coconut, rice crispies...

How do we see the results?

Wait, the taste is bad? I guess the homemade stuff sucks compared to the store stuff? I kinda liked the storebought stuff to be honest. I'm not a fan of regular yogurt, but I DO like Greek yogurt with some kind of crunchies in it, and I liked the blueberry kefir from the store. Regular yogurt...
