 Storing fresh berries     
KOTEX®

If you are having trouble keeping your fresh berries fresh, you will appreciate this tip from Martha Stewart.  I certainly do.  Send for your free issue of Martha Stewart Living and get more tips. Information at the end of this post.

Ripe berries are so tender they burst in your mouth -- if they don't get squashed in the carton first. Dessert chefs have a secret for keeping them intact: As soon as the berries arrive in the kitchen, scatter them on a rimmed baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels, then store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to wash and eat them.

Spark People........Free to join

Here are some Tips from Spark People on saving money on food:  I joined Spark People a couple of weeks ago and I have gained so much information from them.  It is like Weight Watcher but the best news is it is free.  Lots of info, recipes, tips, excersise plans and money saving tips, and on and on.  I think you will like it.
 
 
 
 
Slash Your Grocery Bills: A Dozen Smart and Simple Tips from Food Bloggers

Experts Share How They Eat Well and Save Money

-- By Caitlin Boyle, SparkSavings Contributor

A self-described foodie, Ashley goes weak in the knees for pricey items like avocados, coconut oil, fresh mozzarella, raw nuts, and Nutella. “We love to eat. What can I say?” admits Ashley, who blogs at (Never Home)maker with her husband, Stephen.

Several grocery bills in the $75 to $110 range – “And we typically visit the grocery store more than once a week!”– forced the couple to re-evaluate their spending habits. By sticking to a budget, baking their own bread, and planning meals, they were able to save more than $120 in a month.

Their biggest money saver was enacting a “treats” allowance. “We tended to stash pretty much everything we could ever want into our cart,” remembers Ashley. Instead giving into multiple impulse purchases, Ashley and Stephen select two or three pricey splurge foods each week. “By choosing only a couple items, we savor the flavor. Ultimately, it makes the fancy stuff that much more divine. We can look forward to getting our next ‘treats’ the following week.”

As Ashley, Stephen, and the following food bloggers demonstrate, it’s possible to spend less on groceries without sacrificing taste or quality. All that’s required is a little planning, knowledge, and creativity. Sink your teeth into these great tips:

Scour the Discount Produce Bins: “Shop the reduced produce area to find deals of fresh produce. I buy almost-brown bananas and freeze them. They work great in smoothies!” (Tina from Carrots ‘N Cake)

Buy Seeds: “Grow your own herbs! A plant that lasts all summer (or year) costs the same as a single herb package.” (Matt from No Meat Athlete)

Enjoy Meatless Meals: “I buy a lot of canned beans and use them as my main protein because they are cheap, healthy, and delicious! I use beans in place of meat in all sorts of ways. For example, you can use cannellini beans to bulk up a pasta dish, top your salads with kidney or black beans to add flavor and texture, and mix beans in with brown rice and veggies and top with marinara sauce for an economical and delicious meal. You can even make a spread for a sandwich by mashing chickpeas and adding a little olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice!” (Anne from fANNEtastic Food)

Avoid Temptation by Having Your Groceries Delivered: “I make weekly meal plans, so I know exactly what food I need for the week. However, my money downfall is picking up all the ‘special offers’ and sweet treats I see on the shelves around me. So, I looked into getting what I need delivered. There is a small delivery charge, but I save more than that by avoiding the store. I order online on Sunday, and every Thursday, my box of fresh organic veggies, cupboard necessities, and everything else I need arrives. Over time, I've noticed that our food bills are definitely down because I'm buying what we need, not random stuff I want. There's a lot less waste, too.” (Rachel from Suburban Yogini)

Cost Per Serving: “When I'm scanning the price tags on the shelf, I try not to pay attention to the overall price, but rather focus on the fine print that is cost per serving. There are two yogurt brands in particular where one tub is cheaper than the other, but if you compare how much the yogurt is per ounce, the larger, ‘more expensive’ tub is actually cheaper overall.” (Meghann from The Inner Workings of a College Graduate)

$ocial Media: “Follow your favorite companies on Twitter and Facebook – you'll be alerted to sales and giveaways! This past week, So Delicious let me know where So Delicious Kefir was on sale!” (Molly from Fuel Her Up)

Shop at Farmers Markets: “They offer a wide variety of produce at prices less expensive than the grocery stores. Many of the fruits and veggies are organically grown, and you usually get to meet the farmers themselves. The markets foster a great sense of community. Also, Chinatown neighborhoods are a great place for less expensive produce, and they can also introduce you to an unusual variety of veggies, such as bok choy.” (Liane from Running for Wine)

Compare Frozen vs. Fresh Prices: “Buy fresh, in-season fruit. It’s often cheaper than frozen fruits. I just bought four pounds of fresh strawberries from a local market. I chopped up the entire thing and put it in the freezer to add to smoothies. They taste so fresh!” (SparkPeople member *Amber512)

Avoid Convenience Produce: “Sure, it’s easier to buy the cut celery, carrot sticks, or fruit. But those items can be close to double the price of the unwashed or uncut items. Taking the 10 minutes to wash and cut up your own fruit and veggies can save you so much. Plus, the uncut stuff is usually fresher, tastier, and more nutritious! (Ali from Food Fitness Fashion)

Ask for Rainchecks: “If you find a great sale at the store, but discover that the store is out of the item, ask the clerk or manager for a rain check! Almost all stores will honor the advertised prices when they are back in stock. Plus, these rain checks are usually good for thirty days from the time they are issued.” (Dottie from Food Cents)

Use Your Arms: “Don't get a cart or basket when going into the grocery for a few things. If you have to carry what you are buying, you can only get what you need!” (Megan from Eat Scrap Run)

Online Coupons: “An easier and more manageable approach to printing coupons is to load them up on your grocery store card. You can do this via Shortcuts.com, which I found through CouponMom.com.” To see if your grocery store participates in the Shortcuts program, check out this link. (Melinda from Melinda Hinson Neely)

I'm back....vacation's over

 Hi Everyone!

I'm back from my vacation...yes, I really had a great time with my family, many friends from Kindergarten, can you believeit? And, also many of my friends from high school.  So much fun seeing everyone! Then, four days at Virginia beach with the husband and two of my six grandchildren. Some of my neices and nephews and my sister came down also, some of them stayed overnight. It was a blast.

 

I hope I have found something to post that will be a blessing to you today. I dearly love bible study, and also teaching the bible; which, I have the blessing of doing through my  church.  I'm excited about this site I found on www. komando.com. We are doing a teaching on "The Tabernacle" for the next few weeks in Sunday School and  I am sure I will get some help from this site as we try to envision the tabernacle. Kim, who posts this site posts a great cool sites everyday. You should visit her,  she also give good tech information and help with computer and all things technical.  I have really learned much from her. It's free.  Give it a look see!

Today's Cool Site...from www.komando.com

Match current geography with the Bible

In the past 100 years, many countries have formed. Many other countries have fallen apart. And the names of places change regularly.
The Bible records thousands of years of events. It's no surprise that many of the given geographic names are outdated. This can make it difficult to visualize places and landmarks.
advertisement
 Today's Cool Site is about  Biblical geographic information that can be overlaid onto Google Maps. The atlas section helps you find Biblical place names alphabetically.
You can also find locations by a book, chapter or verse. Selecting a book or chapter shows all the places in that section. Click the preview link to see the geographic overlay in Google Maps.
In addition, you can download overlay files for Google Earth. These overlays contain place names and sometimes more. That includes things like historical borders and bodies of water.

 It's BBQ Season!  Loving the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.

This BBQ sauce recipe sounded so good, I had to share it with you.  Give it a try.  I think it speaks for it's self.

Big Al's K.C. BBQ Sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
  • 4 teaspoons hickory-flavored liquid smoke
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, mix together the ketchup, tomato sauce, brown sugar, wine vinegar, molasses, liquid smoke and butter. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, celery seed, cinnamon, cayenne, salt and pepper.
  2. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for up to 20 minutes. For thicker sauce, simmer longer, and for thinner, less time is needed. Sauce can also be thinned using a bit of water if necessary. Brush sauce onto any kind of meat during the last 10 minutes of cooking. 

***** Yummy, that sunds good.  If you make this sauce, leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of it.        Allrecipes.com (see this site for some great recipes)

 

 

If you have read my blog before, you know " All You" is by far my most favorite magazine.  It covers all things women.  They also have great website that is free for you with food, fashion, fun and fablous informaton.  Here is  great recipe from All You, if you like eating bananas and saving money. I hope you have a Sam's card, get your bananas there.  They cost about $1.29 for 3lbs., and they are usually very large with few bruises

All You magazine Budget recipe of the day: Chocolate-Covered Banana Cake. Instead of buying packaged cookies and sweets, make a cake that costs only .20 per serving. http://bit.ly/bqjbAT



Dish out some delicious desserts this week! Whether you crave chocolate or cookies, you’re going to love these cheap recipes for tasty desserts, all under 20 cents!

 
Restaurant.com Did you know that Restaurant.com offers savings at more than 15,000 restaurants nationwide.  Go to Restaurant.com and join.  It's free.  They will send you emails when they drop prices. They drop prices as low as 80%, it is really a great deal.  A word of caution.  Always check the restaurant you choose to make sure they are open.  Restaurants are having problems as are many businesses in this economy.  My very favorite restaurant closed recently. I had a gift certificate. It was 80% off.  I only lost $2.00, but it was still a loss. They were  members of restaurant.com


Ok after eating that cake, you just might need a little help with your diet as I do, you may be interested  in SparkPeople, it's just like Weight Watchers but it's FREE.......enough said!

Have You Ever Heard of Spark People?f

For those of us on extremely tight budgets but would love to have a program like Weight Watchers to help us lose weight or track meals and exercises but cannot afford the cost of the program–FEAR NO MORE!
Let me introduce you to Spark People. This is a FREE online weight loss site exactly like Weight Watchers! I have been using it for three months now and I love it! It helps to keep me motivated and there are some great recipes on here. In fact, I got an email this morning about a new recipe for Whole Wheat Waffles. It looks scrumptious!
Sign up is easy and the encouragement from the others on the website is truly amazing! Why not go check it out? If you have been wanting to do Weight Watchers but cannot afford the price, THIS is the answer to your dilemma!

 

It's Freebie Time!
