Had this been a piece of beef, I wouldn't have a second thought about cooking it up. I'm just not that familiar with pork. Guess it's because I only have 1 recipe where it doesn't end up like a piece of chewing gum!! I'm gonna use it, I hate wasting food and as long as it reaches...

I had a serious duh moment yesterday!! :barnie I pulled out a pork roast from the freezer intending to put it in the fridge to thaw. As luck would have it...it never made it to the fridge. I discovered it sitting on the counter this morning. Question: Should I toss it out or risk cooking...

Exercise?? I've heard of it but don't rightly go out of my way to sweat and pull muscles!! :lau I guess I'd have to choose exercise out side in a more organic nature....exercise videos are a little weird to me. Would you rather.... If you had to choose lose your vision or hearing?

This type of story is only increasing...it's getting out of control.

I recently bought 2 adult guineas and they are amazing!! We had to keep them locked up in the run for the first week so they know where home was but after that it's been smooth sailing. They are noisy but of us, that's good. We live in a fairly remote area with our closest neighbor 1/2 mile...

I have 1 measly gift bought. Or rather, the components to make said gift.....now to uncover my sewing machine to make that happen!! We, and by that I mean me, tend to make rather than buy gifts. I love picking out fabric or yarn I think the other person will love. It makes it more...

I'm trying to be positive this year since I won't be doing any of the cooking!! Believe it or not, I love to make Thanksgiving dinner. My wonderful sister-in-law wants to host the meal at their new house so I couldn't say no, however, her meal plan includes boxed stuffing mix , yams with...

The previous owners of our house added a room and garage addition and the county forced them to add a larger septic system since more people could live in the house and use the facilities. They went with a dual tank system. They left the old tank and added a new one. We switch between tanks...

Here's my little chicken soldier!! He's ready to defend innocent hens from the stew pot!!!

Today was a good savings day for us... My Mom is a pack-rat and has several huge storage totes of old Halloween costumes that the kids rummaged thru to find what they need for this year. We'll have a hippie, a ninja and a chicken soldier(my 8 yr old is a little odd!!) I mentioned that I was...

Made ham and bean soup with hocks from my freezer and beans leftover from work. Re-purposed stakes and fencing to build an impromptu run for my hens (we have had a huge, nasty hawk stalking them and we don't have the time or $$ to build a proper run yet)

I homeschool my 8yr old son and he has trouble focusing too. I know if he went to a public school they would be demanding a psych. eval. and prescribing meds for ADHD. I've been playing with his diet and notice a better attention span after high protein meals and snacks. If he eats processed...

Next time I'm in town I'll cruise thru the Big Lots for the boxed mixes. I had a little sticker shock at the prices of the different flours...I'm so used to cheap AP flour!! I do have a bread maker($10 yardsale score) and will use that if I decide to make GF bread from scratch. I know it's...

Seeing a ton of recipes call for xanthan or guar gum both with mixed reviews. Anyone have a preference or experience using these?? Is this something available at the grocery store??

Thanks everyone!! I will be headed to the grocery store this afternoon and will begin the journey. I love me some bread so it's gonna be a struggle if I can't find a good recipe for GF bread. The kids were also asking for cinnamon rolls so I need to research a few recipes before I hit the...

After trying the traditional medical approach to solve my GI tract issues with NO SUCCESS, I have decided to make the leap to a GF diet. No, I have not been tested, my doctor is certain I have Ulcerative Colitis and the only solution is an immunosuppressant medication. Uh...no thanks!! I...

Just got around to looking thru my grocery ads....Meijer here in central Ohio has 5lb potatoes and 3lb onion for 99 cents.

It could take her a while....I seen she was in Warshington and all that stuff!!!

My sister-in-law uses whenever...drives me batty but I love her so much I let it slide and hope no one notices me cringe!!! ;)

I saved money today by making and freezing breakfast sandwiches and burritos. We cleaned out the fridge at my work and had 'expired" eggs and sausage that had to be tossed. Our policy is to throw out leftover foods after 5 days. I made sausage and cheese biscuit sandwiches and egg,cheese and...
