Let us get frugal. We all need to eat but we spend to much money on eating out. So, let's think about how we can stay home and cook delicious homemade meals in minutes.
Look around your kitchen and see what you have to make a quick meal. How many staples do you have? Not many? Or do you have a lot of staples on hand? Could you live a day, week or few months on your food supply? You need to seriously think about the food supply you have in your home. So many things can happen that you may need to rely on the food stuffs you have on hand.
Now can you prepare nice meals from your staples or are these foods that you really don't like to eat? Buy things that you will eat. You can't afford to put thousands of dollars into food storage. I understand neither can I, but I can buy 2 or 3 extra items each time I food shop.
If you have any good frugal recipes please feel free to share them.
Thats all for tonight, God bless you Don't worry God is fighting our battles.

Practical Wisdom #1
Hi Folks,
Have you been wondering were all this craziness is going?
High unemployment, foreclosures, rising food prices, stock market quakes, earthquakes, etc etc etc......You get the picture. Not the secure world that we grew up in is it. Everything seems to be spinning out of control. Well, friends take a deep breath and sit down and let us reason together. It is time to get serious about taking care of ourselves and those who matter to us.
So what can we do about the future when we are stretched to the max already? Necessity is the Mother of Invention. Let's relax and start to invent our way out of this mess.
We are in the last part of January and were I live the snow is flying and days are short but in just about 6 weeks give or take a week or two it will be time to start a garden either indoors or of outdoors, depending on where you live.
We need to put our seed orders in now. Try to buy Heirloom seeds not the genetically modified ones that are being manipulated by the huge corporate farms. If you have ever driven through Ohio farm land you may have seen the signs in the fields indicating modified seeds were being grown. We have no idea what effect this will have on our growing children. Japan is waiting to see what the effects on the health of American children will be before they allow genetically modified foods to be grown and consumed in their country. Our children are the lab rats.
Simply put seed catalog in your search bar and plenty of companies will pop up. I like to use the online catalogs but getting them in the mail is great. There is nothing like sitting down on a cold winters day and reading the seed catalog.
Next time we will talk about SQUARE FOOT GARDENING.
Bye for now.
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach and it will be given to him.
