Embracing the Local Markets

It’s hard to believe that we’ve been here for almost 2 weeks now. I admit that I was feeling rather frustrated at the lack of organic produce available in the area until a kind Walmart employee pointed me in the direction of a local produce market. I headed over there on Thursday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. The place didn’t look like much from the outside, but the produce was beautiful.

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

I’d love to say that I got all of my Once A Month Cooking done as planned, but things changed ~ adjustments were made. The main thing is that we have a freezer with lots of good eats, and we ate well during the process. I learned that I only do true once a month cooking on a few meals.

The Once A Month Mom Cook Off is designed to motivate and inspire you to dive into once a month cooking (also referred to as power cooking, freezer cooking, oamc and bulk cooking)…. Throughout the month Amy from Amy’s Finer Things and I will…
