    I can totally relate! I try to use leftovers up but I fail too-often.

    Been there... It is hard to make the perfect meal plan that is completely waste free, I was really bad as a young homemaker, and am a lot better now, I still have to toss out bad produce from time to time. When I had chickens I could give them leftovers and I still give our two big ol' labs leftovers too- they are very happy to help :) Visiting from Thursday almost friday blog hop. ~April

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Really? Meatloaf? Actually this is really good! We usually have it a few times a month. Super easy too! 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup ketchup 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef {I use 1 pound} 3/4 cup milk 2 eggs {I only use 1 egg} 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 small onion, chopped 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 3/4 cup finely crushed saltine cracker crumbs {I usually use pretzels, I never seem to buy saltines} Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan. 2. Press the brown sugar in the bottom of the prepared loaf pan and spread the ketchup over the sugar. 3. In a mixing bowl, mix thoroughly all remaining ingredients and shape into a loaf. Place on top of the ketchup. 4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until juices are clear. {source} What's for Dinner tonight in your house?

Why are you frugal?

Frugality has always been in my life. I spent my summers as a child with my grandma in a very very small town about 150 miles away from where I lived the rest of the year. My grandpa is/was a farmer, had cows, and a diesel mechanic. My grandma was a farmer’s wife. I learned how to garden, sew, cook, move pipe, change oil, and learned how to drive on a tractor. At home during the school year none of these tasks were put to use. We lived in a suburb of a city with nearly 50,000 people, we didn’t have a garden, we had a dishwasher, etc. So at the end of the school year I was ecstatic to get to go my grandma’s house! I loved being there; I loved the fruits of my labor there. I felt as though I had a purpose. Fast forward to 5 years ago. I graduated high school, moved to Phoenix, got into a heap of money issues, wanted everything in sight, forgot everything my grandma ever taught me and then I moved back to Idaho. About a year and a half later I came to the realization that something had to...

Grilled Pizza

I can not even begin to tell you how excited I was to make this. Chevy Man thought I was losing it, ok maybe I was. I made the dough from scratch (recipe below) and then we grilled PIZZA! Homemade dough- 1 1/2 cups warm water 2 1/4 tsp yeast or a package 3 1/2 cups flour 2 tbsp oil 2 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar dissolve yeast in warm water. combine dry, then add wet. let rise 1 1/2 hours. punch down and let rise 30 more minutes. I divided into 2 pizzas about 12 inches pizza. This will depend on how thick you want it. They were definitely not round, but hey that makes them rustic right? haha. I then oiled each side of the dough. Put tin foil on the grill, and oiled it. Put the dough on, flipping about every 3 or 4 minutes until done. Then I put all the toppings on the pizza, closed the grill lid and let the cheese melt. super yummy! I can't wait to make it again later this week!
