Peppermint Patty Soap
Yes, Peppermint Patty SOAP, not the yummy goodies you can eat. But these smell just like them. When I got done, my son came in and said, "Yea!" I told him it was soap and he looked so disappointed, ha ha. I guess I'll have to make him some peppermint patties. I have a great...
Best Ever Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies
These cookies really are the best ever oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! The recipe has been asked for over and over again. It's an amazing recipe that is always a hit. I make other types of cookies and my family says they are good, but asks why I didn't make oatmeal chocolate chip. They are that...
Homemade Pancake Syrup
Homemade Pancake Syrup is very frugal and tastes great. Not all of us have the resources or are able to afford real maple syrup. If I had maple trees, I would have tapped them before I unpacked my luggage, but alas, that is not the case. So, since I do not want to give my...
Fettuccine Alfredo: A Delicious Easy Dinner
As my children get older, I have them choose a meal that they learn to make all by themselves. My daughter was very quick to choose Fettuccine Alfredo, or as it's more commonly made in our house: Spaghetti Alfredo. I got this recipe from an Italian lady when I first got married. It's been a...
Homemade Whole Wheat Tortillas
This is something my family must always have in the house. My kids use tortillas to make cheese quesadillas for lunch (with pepper jack cheese, super yummy), bean burritos, chicken tacos, etc. Store-bought tortillas are loaded with extra ingredients and preservatives. We have a soy allergy and so we have to make our own anyway (Soy is in...
Easiest Tomato Sauce from Scratch
I wish I had a nice food strainer/sauce maker. I've used one once and they are great! Alas, I do not, so this is what I do to make a tomato sauce or marinara sauce that is the easiest and the least time and energy consuming when I have a huge crop of tomatoes that...
Homemade Deodorant
There are lots of great reasons why I like the idea of making my own homemade deodorant. It's easy, frugal, and (a big reason) I can smell however I like!! Be careful though, it doesn't really matter how much you love the smell of your deodorant, people just don't respond well when you run around the house asking...
Stuffed Banana Peppers
A lot of people around where I live eat stuffed peppers. I did not grow up eating them this way, but my husband did so I've used this recipe a number of times for him. I already pickled a ton of banana peppers from last year, so I didn't grow any this year. My garden...
Homemade Granola
I love granola, but it's so expensive. Recently, I've been playing around with different ways of making Homemade Granola. I've finally found proportions that I love. I can't get enough of it (especially with milk kefir). I even calculated how much I pay in ingredients per oz so I could compare the price to store-bought...
Homemade Vanilla Extract
I'm so excited to finally try making Homemade Vanilla Extract myself. Someone gave me some homemade vanilla extract last year for Christmas. I loved it so much, and I can never pass up an opportunity to make something for myself if it's not too complicated. So at the beginning of this month I went to...
