Frugal Snacks

July 23, 2009

This week I made some frosting for a cake and I decided I did not need it all. So, I used some of it to make these for my kids. Graham crackers with frosting. Have you ever had these? They make a great, easy, and frugal snack. Not the healthiest, but they are a great [...]

I don’t have a picture of my garden, but it looks pretty good considering the July heat here in Oklahoma. But here is what we have picked from our garden the last few days. My peppers and cantaloupe are doing really good. I have at least five nine cantaloupes, we picked four last night, in [...]

Sour Cream Potato Salad

July 21, 2009

I really like potato salad. I think I always have. My husband on the other hand enjoys it occasionally, but it has never been his favorite. After we had been married for a while, I figured out why he did not like it all that much. He hates mayonnaise or Miracle Whip. It is one of [...]

My Mom and Dad’s Garden

My parents have had a garden ever since I can remember. It is usually a pretty big garden. I really don’t think they enjoy all the work, but they enjoy all the fresh vegetables they get from it. Growing up we always had to work in the garden. None of us enjoyed it, but it [...]

No Knead Bread

July 16, 2009

I enjoy making bread. Bread and bread products are one of my favorite things to make. I love to experiment and try new recipes. But I have a few favorites that I continue to go back to. This recipe is one of those. I saw this on a Martha Stewart show over two years ago. [...]

Slow Cooked Fajita Meat

July 16, 2009

Several months ago I asked what you like, dislike, or would like to see more of on this site. Several of you asked for more crock pot/slow cooking recipes. I had planned on doing more of those type of recipes, but I have not tried many new crockpot recipes lately. I have been using my crockpot, but I [...]
