Recession Food: Whole Turkey - Blog Entry

29 Feb 2008 02:54 PM

Mary Ann, Perfect timing for this. lol Giant had turkey breast on sale for $2.99 a pound, is that good price? Nobody in my family eats the dark meat so a lot of meat, etc would go to waste if I bought a whole turkey. Laura

The Smelly Home Conspiracy - Blog Entry

Sometimes I will put a pot of water on the stove and throw in some cinnamon sticks and cloves and let it simmer all day. It smells so good. I used to do this when we ran our kerosene heater all the time. It also helps put moisture into the air. Laura

My best advice when decluttering a certain area, when in doubt, throw it out. If you haven't used the item in a year or so ask yourself if you really need it. I find myself never using the item that I shoved into the closet last year. lol When my house is a total mess and I feel totally overwhelmed I start in one room and clean it up until its finished. Starting in the kitchen is were I always begin. Have a great Sunday! Laura

Hey with the snow and ice coming I may try to make butter in my bread mchine tomorrow. You can use the buttermilk for pancakes or freeze and it thaws out nicely.

Aldi's has butter for a few pennies over $2, not bad. I try and buy several at a time. Laura

Looks very good. I have also fallen back to instant oatmeal and cereal. Ugh!! Maybe this is what is breaking my food budget. I just need more hours in the morning to make breakfast. Thanks for the incentive!! Laura

Good tips. I usually do laundry everyday. It seems that if I don't the pile is huge and it takes me several days to wash it all. It's a never ending task here. lol Laura

We are also keeping an eye on the sky. Billy has checked the radar twice this morning to see when the storms will hit. It's so warm out that I also had to open the windows. Enjoy the day! Laura
