Beans, Beans the magical fruit!
The more you eat, the more you....save money!
I have always had a bunch of dried beans in my food pantry, but I rarely use them. It always seemed so much easier to just use the more expensive and speedier canned beans for chili and soups. I once got like 25 pounds of beans on sale for like 32 cents a pound at Super Target. That breaks down to 2 cents per serving!!!! Super deal! Until now I have rarely used them. This week I decided that I would finally break down and cross into the dried bean frontier. I made black bean and Spanish rice burritos on Monday. They were easy and a big success, then last night I made homemade baked beans and hot dogs. The baked beans could have been better, but like I told Nathan, I can try again!
So here's my tip: Try cooking with some dried beans, they store well, they are nutritious, and Hannah adds "they are yummy!"
By the way, if you always eat a little bit of fiber your body gets used to it and you don't have to worry about being designated an alternative fuel source.

Just getting started...
Welcome to my homemaking palace! I love to be frugal. I love to read cookbooks and bake and cook and well experiment--sometimes that is a good thing and sometimes not. I love to find new ways to make things work. Some of the things that I will tackle with this website include:
- Cooking
- Menu Planning
- Food Storage
- Following the Word of Wisdom
- Grocery Shopping Lists
- Coupon Cutting
- Baking
- Cake Decorating
- Storage and Organization
Just so we are clear, I am not starting a blog on these subjects because I think I am an expert, it is because I want to strive to be better at these things. I find joy in motherhood and taking care of our home. I am not so great at it yet, but like all things I have set my mind to--I hope to be someday! So stop back and I will let you know what is in our cupboard.
