Simple, Frugal Homemade Gifts for Kids: Books on CD, Playdough Kits, Bathtime Fun

December 2nd, 2009 · 17 Comments · Do It Yourself, frugality

(See my food gift ideas too.)  I’ve had a lot of fun creating homemade gift ideas for all the [...]

November 19th, 2009 · 14 Comments · Do It Yourself, Upgraded Nutrition, recipes

The first time I met my future mother-in-law, she gave me a gift.  I was a freshman in college and her son’s first girlfriend (we’d been dating about a week at the time).  It was near Valentine’s Day, which was cause enough for a gift bag, some tissue paper and a bottle of lotion, some [...]

It’s Spinach Week here at Kitchen Stewardship!  I get to share one of our family’s favorite recipes today.

The first indication that it’s a winner is that Kraft Food and Family Magazine publishes it at least once a year, sometimes more.  Second is that my son always asks for seconds on (he’s a good eater, but [...]

Kitchen Tip Tuesday: “Homemade” Turkey Sausage

July 14th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Do It Yourself, What to Buy, frugality

Don’t tell my husband, but I’m in love…with a spice store.  Is it wrong that I get seriously jazzed up when I get the opportunity to go into a Penzey’s Spices store and smell their samples, read their recipe ideas, and (of course) walk out with a bag of loot?

June 23rd, 2009 · 32 Comments · Do It Yourself, What to Buy, frugality, recipes, super foods

Do you know the thrill of creating a recipe from scratch?  I can’t tell you how tickled I get when I manage something like this (it’s happened only a handful of times in my life).  I think it’s pretty cool already that I have become bold enough in the kitchen to mess with other people’s [...]
