Yummy Bar Cheese Spread
Still recovering from being gone for a week at a conference (South by Southwest in Austin-otherwise known as SXSW), so thought I’d toss up a quick recipe post. This cheese spread used to be served at a local bar-hence the name “Bar Cheese”. Someone in Yankee Bill’s family begged the recipe off the owner. The… Keep Reading
Quick Tip: Calcium Fortified Chicken Broth
You can easily make your own “Calcium Fortified Chicken Broth” by adding about 1/2 teaspoon of vinegar to the water when you boil chicken bones etc for soup stock. The vinegar will leach the calcium out of the bones, but you won’t be able to taste it in the finished product. It’s like that science… Keep Reading

Review: 24C Water by Jones Soda
Before hubs and I were stationed at Ft. Lee Virginia I had never heard of Jones Soda. While we were stationed there we used to have an occasional lunch date at the Ukrops* near post (they had sushi!). There in the refrigerated case near the cash register is where I first saw the brand. The… Keep Reading
Guest Post: Pantry Soup
I’m so excited that I am writing a guest post for Jenn. Hi, everyone! Ahem. Right. Down to the business at hand. When I volunteered a guest post, I knew that my topic should be geared to frugality and thriftiness, so I considered my frugal habits. I must admit, I’m not always the most frugal… Keep Reading
