Wow that was awesome! I love cooking ahead and freezing stuff to make later. Combining that with crock pot cooking is even better!

I checked with Mapquest and we are about 380 miles from one another, Charlye. I am almost all the way at the bottom of the state near the Kentucky border. It's about a 6 hour drive for me to get to the outskirts of Chicago.

I already ate breakfast and I'm salivating! lol

This sounds amazing! I have a 5 lb bag of almonds I've been trying to figure out what to do with.

I have some apple cider vinegar in the pantry. I will do some research on this and if it seems likely, I'll give it a shot. I am one of those "apple" shaped people which means I have more fat in the belly area than other places. It also means I am more prone to heart attacks and strokes. That's...

I'm in southern Illinois and I always do well with tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, hot peppers and blackberries.

I think of it as a lifestyle change too. I used the word diet but I don't get too hung up on the word. I can't imagine going back to my old way of eating.

Thanks for that suggestion. I have very dry hair so this might help.

I prefer the oval one. Usually these are larger and can accommodate the quantities I like to cook better. I've never noticed that it didn't cook as well as the round ones though and I do have both.

We have a CVS here, too. We also have a Target and they have a new program called Cartwheel. You can use it on your computer or your smartphone to save money on all kinds of things. Plus they often have in-store deals that earn you Target gift cards to spend on what you want. Not a coupon...

You will get some insects but that helps in the breaking down process. What you don't want to do is add meat scraps. That will draw flies and lots of other creatures as you mentioned. With the fruits and vegetables, you can either cover the compost with a tarp or straw or turn it by hand so the...

I am significantly overweight. I began seeing a sleep disorders doctor 2 years ago because of my apnia. This past November, he started me on a low-carb diet and I lost 20 lbs in a couple of moths. Then I plateaued for a couple months. I am still on low-carb but I also take a prescription diet...

What exactly do you do with them in order to use them in your hair and what benefits do you get from it? I wonder if they have benefits for the skin too?

I did coupon mom for a long time. They try to match online stuff with store & newspaper coupons. If you don't get the paper, it doesn't really help much. But thanks for trying! Maybe I'll Google it too and see what I can find.

Chicken soup is really easy. You just add your chicken, some chopped onions, celery, carrots and some seasonings like parsley, salt and pepper and then add water. Cook it for about 8 hours. Remove the chicken and debone it, then shred it and put it back in. You can cook noodles or rice...

My husband bought a compost tumbler a few years back. We add yard waste and kitchen scraps and just give it a few twirls everyday. It takes a long time but it is so good for the garden.

That makes sense Christine. I don't get a newspaper so we don't get the coupon inserts. How do you go about finding coupons online?

I tried a couple of years ago but found that the coupons were mostly for things or brands I don't use. I saved very little. Given the time I was putting in, reviewing store ads for corresponding coupons or sales and the little return on my time invest I was getting, I quit. I'm glad to read so...

Wow, Geri, that sounds interesting and different. I hope you do well. We are working to pay off the loans on the rental property so that income will free and clear.

I live in a rural setting and only get into "town" twice a week. I have to buy enough to last so I don't make extra trips. Keeping avacados fresh is not easy, so I've heard. I'll have to get better at using them when I do get them.
