My husband is a creature of habit. Each day, he warms up a frozen breakfast sandwich before heading off to work. We started out buying Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sandwiches and scaled back to Great Value Breakfast Sandwiches to save a bit of money, but I was buying these things all the time! I decided I could […]
I came across the most intriguing product a little while ago. Wayne’s Jerky started following me on Twitter and I had to follow back because who doesn’t love jerky! I noticed they have mushroom jerky, and I was so excited when they offered to send me a bag to try. I am a huge mushroom […]

It’s a constant struggle between my cheapskate frugal tendencies and my desire to feed my […]
I’m all about using the things we have and preventing waste lately. We finally got a compost bin – probably not the best thing to get before the freezing Minnesota temps, but I haven’t thought that far ahead yet… I’ve also been saving our apple cores and peels to try my hand at apple jelly. […]
If you’ve followed me on Instagram or ever come across one of my salad pictures, you may have noticed they always contain the same go-to toppings. The first is toasted flax seeds and the second is Hemp Hearts. I just don’t make a salad without them! I tried Hemp Hearts on a whim about six […]
