Recipe Friday: Cake Mix Cookies
This is an incredibly easy recipe that uses cake mixes as the foundation for the cookie and creates a very simple cookie when following the directions, but I love it when I approach it from the perspective of it being a blank canvas. I can then do all kinds of yummy things with it. For example, you could put dark chocolate shavings in a German Chocolate cake mix and a little bit of almond extract to make an out of this world chocolate cookie. Or use a lemon...

Food Storage Mistakes
6. Food Storage Conditions and Containers:
Whether it’s preserving seeds and gardening supplies or preserving food, there’s a right way and a whole lot of wrong ways to do it. I suppose that since it’s been so long since we’ve had to LIVE based upon our understanding of long-term storage of food, it explains why there seems to be so few who understand the proper way to store these items. As such there are all sorts of rumors out there for storing food. So let me give...

We’ve received a LOT of new readers lately and as such I’m hearing a lot of questions that are also covered in articles in the past. So today I thought I’d help someone find an article on the use and selection of powdered milk that I swore I had written at one time. But I gotta tell ya, I’m not all that impressed with the search features of Wordpress. I figure if I can’t even find the dern-blasted article, then how can I expect anyone else to. So, I’m going to provide some basic powdered milk...

So, have you had that unopened jar of mayonnaise ever since your husband brought home the wrong brand 7 years ago? Forget about it *she says in her best Italian mobster accent*
While most persons have heard that a Twinkie last forever on the shelf, but did you know that there are actually some other more common food items that have an unlimited shelf life? A little fact-finding mission with some manufacturers sure did surprise me and I’m sure it will raise an eyebrow or two for you.
What...

This week I purchased fresh strawberries at Wal-mart for $2.98 and fresh blueberries at Sunflower Market for .99 cents. I sifted through them trying to find the best looking packages without too much weeping of the fruit and of course, without any mold. It was my intention to eat healthier and put them on a salad with salmon for several lunches this week. However, I only got to use them on the first day because by the second day of them being in my home, they began to turn horribly moldy. So...

I wonder what would have been the result of the Revolutionary War if the heads of the British Army possessed a list of the names of every patriot and patriot sympathizer, a list of owned firearms, military experience, special wartime skills, who had extensive supplies and where, as well as a listing of what vulnerabilities each head of household had such as wives and children that they cared about. It might also have been helpful to the British if they had a list of all known relatives and...

One of my dear friends who comes to my classes periodically, shared this great wheat-berry recipe with me. I couldn’t wait until Friday to share it, so here it goes!
Feta Wheat Berry Salad
1 C. whole wheat berries
1 C Feta cheese, diced. (It’s especially good with the sun-dried tomatoes in them or added to the recipe)
½ C red onion, minced (I used my freeze-dried green onions, reconstituted)
½ C cucumber, peeled, seeded, chopped (I simply could not do this recipe without these, however...

Beware the football lying in wait to attack!
Between the fall of 1997 and the spring of 2002, FIFTY-THREE high school students were KILLED playing high school football. (National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research, Feb. 2001) The lives of the spectators and the fellow students of these players will never be the same. And I want something done to make sure that such needless deaths never happen again. Fifty-three deaths! Where is the outrage?! Where’s 20/20 or 60 Minutes when you...

Today I’m going to share with you one of most powerful financial aspects of using coupons AND I’m also going to share with you a couponing tip that will make anyone who’s using coupons, ecstatic!
A couple of weeks ago I taught the first ever live broadcast of my Coupon Training Boot Camp (also known as “Enough and to Spare”). We received great feedback from the attendees—some of who were even experienced couponers that simply got recharged. Frankly, I even got recharged as I was...

Hey, it's Friday! This means that the Preparedness Pro is going to adapt one of your favorite dishes and make it with shelf-stable items that you can use with or without electricity.
Today’s shelf-stable recipe is one of my husband’s favorite. It’s a mild twist on a Shepherds Pie recipe my mom used to make. However, Mom’s recipe took too much time and didn’t consist of items that I could just pull off of my shelf. Whenever I make this for friends and family, they typically declare it as their...
