Silver Recipe Medal for All Time! 154 Recipes
I like to read, crochet, tat, and do a few other crafts. I love canning and cooking, gardening, swimming, etc.
I make my own deodorant (better than anything commercial!), shampoo, conditioner, household cleaners, and detergent. I am trying to go greener all the time, and to be more self-sufficient. I love seeing all the canning jars on the shelves full of soups, condiments, salsa, jams, etc etc. It's a frugal, fun, healthy way to live!

Breakfast ParfaitI was reading about the healthiest foods in the world, and came to the part about oats. It reminded me about a recipe I used to love, that fell by the wayside for some reason.

My Frugal Life: Thinking About ThriftinessI've been thinking a lot about the world and the terrible state we are in. One thing I've been thinking is that we would all be a lot better off if we didn't say "someone ought to do something" and said "I'm going to do something" instead.

 

Chocolate Pie

Chocolate PieThis recipe is so versatile! It can be used as a pie filling, frosting and filling for a 2 or 3 layer cake, or as a mousse. It is so, so easy, and has never failed me. It is also really, really delicious.
