One of my biggest pet peeves is waste. I hate to see anything wasted - money, food, energy or time. Because of that, I have developed frugal habits during my adult life. I'm not saying everyone should adopt these practices - this is more of a "confessions" type post than anything. However, if you are looking… Continue reading Three Things I Do Because I’m Frugal

I couldn't resist the chance to pick up peppers at $.50 each, so they came home with me. We ate one pepper for taco night, but the… Continue reading End of Summer Produce
