23 March 2018 - Save Some Bread on Your Morning Toast

Serve Breakfast for Less

"Breakfast can be inexpensive and still provide its share of the day's food requirements."


Here is the scoop on breakfast.

According this article from Today, Breakfast is really the most important meal of the day.

Our Almanac has this to say about saving your breakfast food budget.

1. Evaporated Milk, Skim Milk, and Buttermilk may be less expensive than fluid whole milk.

Evaporated Milk is creamier and thicker with more than half of the water removed. Use it in your smoothies or sweeten your coffee.

2. Buy Less Expensive Eggs

Choose lower grade eggs. Grade A eggs are best for boiling, frying, and poaching. Use lower grade eggs for scrambling, omelets, and baking.

3. Fresh Fruits

Buy in season fruits that cost less to stock. Otherwise getting frozen is just as good!

NOW

Let's get real. How can you apply these to the real world?

For some ideas, you can read here in my previous post about Food Discipline.

My family eats cereal about every other morning to save time to get ready for school.
On the other days, I usually make some eggs and toast.
On the weekends we have waffles!
I make up the batter and cook them in my waffle iron. The recipe I have makes a lot so I save the rest for another morning.

I think the key is to have a plan or a routine. This way you can buy the same items at the store and knowing what you will make in the morning will save you time.

Another option is to make a mid morning snack!

If you have a small breakfast, then take something healthy to munch on later. This way you are not getting so HANGRY that you make yourself miserable at lunch....


or scare the others around you...

19 March 2018 - Why Woodn't You

Try Putting Up Wallboard? Why Not? "In the spring one tends to think about the sprucing up the home." In the 70's wood paneling was all the rage. Wallboard or as it commonly called today - Decorative Paneling. There are some seriously cute panelings out there today. Typically, when you think of wall paneling, you think of wooden paneling. I have some in my living room and it is very dated. It's so dark that is great for movie nights but mostly it just feels like a room that is sucking the light from your house. I found an article from Houzz that has some modern looks for us in the year 2018. So if you decide to go the way of decorative paneling, please steer clear of the basic stuff, and go for a nice chic modern look!

5 February 2018 - The Christmas Star

Store Poinsettia Soon Did you get one of these flowers for Christmas? If so and you haven't thrown it away or killed it, it is soon time to do something else with it. This Almanac entry is about taking care of that red plant. I don't garden. Let me clarify I can garden. I choose not to. Once upon a time I had a vegetable garden and it was amazing. The best tomatoes, organic produce, crazy long green beans, and some fresh basil. Now when a weed came and destroyed everything and all my hard work was gone I just put my gloves and shovel down exclaiming "I QUIT!" .... If you care to keep your plant around for next Christmas you can follow these instructions here. .... URBAN LEGENDS Now there is a myth that the plant is toxic. There is an urban legend that states a child died from eating the leaves of the plant.  In truth the poinsettia isn't toxic enough to kill a person. Eating it can cause an ...

26 March 2018 - Guess Who's Back, Christ is Back, Tell a Friend

Stuffed Lamb Cushion for Easter "Lamb is a traditional food for Eater. The lamb is a symbol of Jesus. In John 1:29 Jesus is referred to as "The Lamb of God", who takes away the sin of the world." Lamb is also a traditional Passover meal. In the book of Exodus, God was determined to save His people from their captivity in Egypt. The last plague He sent to Egypt was the death of the firstborn. God commanded that His people take an unblemished lamb, kill it, and but the blood of the lamb on their door post.  This would be a sign for the Angel of Death to "passover" the house and not strike their firstborn. It would be after their freedom from slavery that God would institute traditional sacrifice for sins that would involve a lamb. Jesus' last supper was the Passover meal. He and His disciples ate lamb before He instituted the new covenant, teaching His disciples to remember Him in communion.  Jesus would go on to be betraye...
