RECIPE WED #8: MYO Ortego-like TACO SAUCE!!
SO many passions so little time! I love to experiment with the educational ideas, frugal tips, DIY projects, new recipes,beauty tips, outdoor creations, decorating, sewing & organization, party planning and Christian living inspirations! Kids are fed and the clothes & dishes are washed....the rest of the house you might have to turn a blind eye to because I tend to get caught up in the newest project :-) I love to be inspired weather it's my walk with Christ, my parenting, picture taking, gardening, and family life...it's all a just the process of life and even if some days you hear me call out to God, "Dear God make a bird so I can fly far, far, far away!"...My feet are always planted on the ground & a smile is on my face even if tears are streaming down.

6 Lbs of tomato puree = 4 days worth of meals!
This is my base for a Ragu/Bolognese type sauce that I convert into several dishes or I freeze into smaller portions for "Sunday Gravy" later in the month when time is short.
I make Fresh Tagliatelle Pasta (recipe here), and the KIDS eat it up, they especially like when I add in meatballs (What can I say I have carnivores!)
I then make a variety of meals from this base, this week I decided to concentrate on soups and since it is the cold of winter, soups are just the ticket!

Fugal Freezer Cooking Friday: Winter Cooking Session 2013
My SIL is having major surgery in about 2 weeks, and I want to make her a few meals so her family won't have to think about dinner the first few days. Plus my freezer stash is down to a few meals from my major cooking session in June, so it is time for another Batch Cooking Session!
Last session I made a CRAZY amount of food plus the kind folks at my church brought me meals for a few weeks, & it has thankfully, lasted me a fairly long time.
As is the normal, I am going to be making these meals in sessions according to protein type so as to avoid any cross-contamination plus make is easier with the little ones running around! I will attempt to make these in 3 days time max each protein group, the

RECIPE WED #22: Bubbles & Squeak
A perfect warm up dinner in the winter time!!
This is a dish my momma
would make often!!
We loved it, she would change it up with what was available in the garden, grocery store, or even fridge.
Kinda like a Shepperd's pie.
My momma never called it "Bubbles and Squeak"
but as I grew up I realized it wasn't just a "made up dish" it actually had a name...

Teach Me Tuesdays: MYO Natural Triple Butter Whipped Super Lotion
Winter Time Remedy for Chapped
& Red Hands
I saved 6oz baby food jars from son (they were FREE otherwise I made my own baby food) and I pour the mixture in them. This way I don't have to worry about contamination and each batch stays fresh. I store the unused portions in the fridge if I happen to run out of room I place them in the closet in my bedroom which remains cool 9 months out the year.
This make so much & is so rich you
only need a small amount- you can make
some for yourself and
give some for gifts!
I use my Cricut die cutting machine to cut adorable tags and labels then I use adhesives to affix labels when able or tie on tags with pretty ribbon.
