Snacks

 Needed..ok wanted a snack

It was not instant....took time, but practically free

Had all ingredients in the house

I made a dozen and Hubby and I enjoyed them for days.

Peanut butter cups

Puddin'

 My son wanted chocolate pudding.  We didn't have any and I meant we do not have any instant pudding mix.

Betty Crocker cookbook to the rescue.  We had all the ingredients in the house and Hubby and Son like it better than the instant or store bought.

Potato Water

Save your potato water

Great for watering plants

Also good for, soups, gravies and bread dough

Frugal Basics

 Every frugal person knows...

Do not buy croutons or bread crumbs.  But this was the first time I ever made croutons, I'm not a fan, but the Hubby is.  Loaf was going stale.

They were delicious, I ate some as a snack

This month's soup

Time to make soup or broth (Pictures from Nov 2024)

Plenty of scraps in my freezer, veggies and chicken bones.

This month a bit heavy on the bell peppers, so will cut back next time.

This made a huge amount of broth for soup.

So we ate well for a couple days and the rest went into the freezer.

Potato Peels

I saved my potato peels because I saw a frugal recipe to roast or airfry them for a snack. 

I didn't like them. Perhaps a different type of potato skin?

Will I keep saving peels... YES.  I use them in my chicken or veggie stock that I make.

That Time of Year

 Time for the yearly shear

This particular method gives long layers.

I have also just given myself a blunt cut.

Initial chop, 7 inches, then some zhuzhing
