Diabetic Cooking For One
I enjoy your newsletter and I saw that you was looking for Requests. I’m a LPN type 2 diabetic, and I’m in need of some good receipes that I can freeze my meals. My children are all grown, and I’m trying to break a bad habit of eating out. I’m a nurse in a military […]
Continue readingPressure Canning Brown Rice
Because brown rice takes so long to cook, I would like to know if anyone has a recipe to can the rice. I would like to have some ready to use in my pantry for my family and dog food that I make. I would think pints or half pints would be best but wonder […]

Use up the last of your peanut butter (or other nut butters) left in jar by making oatmeal for breakfast right in the jar. Pour in a serving amount of oats, milk and sugar or fruit to taste. You can add whatever you like. (Note: You can use raw oats, as the overnight soaking makes […]
Continue readingFreezer Pie Crust Dough
There are a lot of ways to use up leftovers, but one of the best ways I know is making a Pot Pie. Why? Because the leftovers are almost unrecognizable in a golden brown, flaky pie crust! It seems that no matter what ingredients I have on hand, when I remember I have pie crust […]
Continue readingStrawberry Pineapple Freezer Jam
When strawberries are in season, I am always on the look-out for new recipes to use this family favorite. We have plenty of regulars, even another strawberry freezer jam, but this recipe offers a little surprise – pineapple. The flavors complement each other so well, and the texture is incredible. If you’re looking for a new […]
Continue readingTips For Freezing Fruit And Berries
Because I love baking pies, I also love having a plentiful supply of fruit and berries on hand, prepared and ready to go. I got on a freezer cooking kick recently, so decided that along with the meals I was freezing, I’d try my hand at pie fillings. There are a few things to do […]
Continue readingGlass Canning Jars – Perfect For Freezer Meals
I’ve been doing a lot of meal planning lately, and that typically means a lot of frugal freezer meals, especially soups, stews, meat sauce, and other family favorites. Recently I removed a plastic ziploc bag of my homemade spaghetti sauce from the freezer, let it thaw slightly, then pushed the contents out into a saucepan. […]
Continue readingRoasted Whole Chicken – Perfect Every Time
If you’re like me, you’ve experimented a lot trying to make the perfect roast chicken. There are all kinds of recipes, but really all I want to do is get a crispy, juicy chicken out of the oven. I really don’t care about a bunch of different flavors and seasoning; I can figure that out. […]
Continue readingCreamy Tomatoes
I was at a bridal shower a few years ago and there were these individual small tomatoes that were almost sliced all the way through and there was this creamy, maybe mayonaise-y liquid poured over the sliced tomatoes. Other than the sweetness of the tomato, the sauce was not sweet, but not salty either. I’ve […]

Continue readingTip For Extra Pie Filling
I’ve been doing a lot of pie baking lately (while working on the Pie Recipe Kindle book). Quite often I end up with more pie filling than I need. Rather than risk overfilling my crust and making a big mess in my oven, I take the extra, put it in an airtight container and store […]
Continue readingHow To Peel Tomatoes
This post was shared with us from Living So Abundantly. I thought I would post it in the Articles section as well as the Frugal Tips section and the Recipe section so it would be easy to find. Having been blessed with buckets and buckets of tomatoes this year, I embarked on a mission myself […]
Continue readingTomato Dumpling Stew
One of our readers was looking for a recipe for stewed tomatoes with dumplings. The following is the recipe a commenter suggested, but I tweaked it a little (major difference is reducing the sugar quite a bit.) You can also use fresh tomatoes, diced up with liquid from the tomatoes reserved. If you do, you […]
