I wish I could remember where I found this recipe so I could credit it, but I lost it. I guess that’s the downfall of having a recipe that’s so easy to remember. 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2T. each of cocoa, oil, and milk. Mix together and zap it for a minute. Voila! You have a Keep Reading
“Easy Grow” Garden Picks
Spring is here(yay!), and as always, I’m looking for ways to make our budget stretch a little farther. Food is expensive. Even more so if you choose organic. One of the best and most obvious ways to reduce that expenditure this time of year is through gardening. If you’re new to gardening, it can Keep Reading
Barbecued Meatballs
Ah, meat balls. You know, I’m mostly posting this recipe to make my sister’s mouth water. She loves these things. So do I for that matter. Gabriel and I usually serve them over rice with a side of salad, and/or sweet potatoes. These meatballs are super easy to prepare in large batches and make Keep Reading
Muffin Tin Biscuits
I’ve always been a bit partial to cut-out biscuits. Never liked making drop biscuits, even if they were just going to be covered with gravy. As a result of this bias, I made a lot of crumbly biscuits when I started baking gluten-free. I also made a lot of biscuits that resembled bricks. As it Keep Reading
Breakfast Sausage
For years, my go-to sausage recipe has been simply to add salt, pepper, and sage (and maybe a smidgen of cayenne) to a pound of ground pork. The more sage the better in my opinion (but not in Gabriel’s. Have I mentioned that we have food incompatibility issues? Well, we do*). Now where was I? Oh Keep Reading
Homemade Granola
I was just talking with some girls at church yesterday about how before we had little ones, we weren’t big breakfast eaters. For me, it was a bowl of cold cereal. Now that I’m nursing a baby however, breakfast has become synonymous with protein. Usually in the form of eggs. Oh, how I love Keep Reading

Hey all! I'm back with more about preparing for baby on a budget. If you miss part one, go here to read it. I'll wait for ya. ;) It’s crazy how much you can spend on getting ready for a new baby. The shear volume and diversity of baby gear out there is just mind boggling! So what does a new Keep Reading
Preparing For Baby On A Budget
I went online looking for car seat reviews a few days ago, and was reminded once again just how expensive baby gear is. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend that much! Garrett honestly hasn’t cost us that much, so I thought it might be useful to pass on some of the methods we used for Keep Reading
Early Spring Foraging
Gabriel planted kale for the first time this past fall. It wintered over incredibly well. Not only did it “hold over”, but grew back when it was cut. In the middle of winter! The spinach suffered only slight frost damage. So between that, the kale, and the frozen okra, corn, canned green beans, Keep Reading
Black Bean Brownies
Most of the people I’ve said “black bean brownie” to immediately wrinkled up their nose. Gabriel didn’t. But I’m pretty sure it was just because he’s used to me trying to get a reaction out of him. At first glance, it does sound a little gross, but bear with me a little bit. Most of you who are Keep Reading
