You know those dates stamped on packages of food? What do they mean? It’s confusing alright. Is the food ‘expired’? Is it safe to eat? Will it make you sick if you eat it anyway? I always wondered that too.
Then I did some research and was very surprised at what I found. To celebrate Throwback Thursday I’m sharing these tips today. Come see!

Y’all know I have an environmental bend. It’s important to me to tread lightly on this beautiful blue planet of ours. But like most things in life, we’re all in different places. My journey may not be your journey, and THAT’S OK! We all need to pursue those causes we’re passionate about & offer our efforts & talents to those causes to make the world a better place #amiright?
On this Throw-back Thursday, read my thoughts about our different journeys.

Recently RancherMan & I had a porch extension built. I wanted to landscape it into our own little peaceful backyard oasis. But I didn’t want to spend much money on the landscaping. Luckily it was super easy to do.
You’re not gonna believe how cheaply I was able to outfit our beautiful Outdoor Living Area.

Just doing things because ‘that’s the way we’ve always done it’ is almost guaranteed to cost you some big-time bucks. Sometimes all it takes is keeping your eyes open and being open to making a change if a better deal presents itself. And sometimes the savings from that one little change lines your pockets month after month too!
Today in honor of Throwback Thursday I’m sharing one of my most popular posts. Are you getting your money’s worth, or paying extra for NOTHING??!!

Today’s throwback Thursday post is about one of my favorite things to cook in my solar oven. ‘Boiled’ eggs! I was amazed when I learned you could cook those eggs without any water at all, right in their cardboard carton!

Y’all know I have to have my hands in the dirt. I don’t have any control over it – that’s just something buried into my DNA. But do you wanna know a secret? I don’t really enjoy gardening (I know, REALLY??! gasp!)
But it’s true. I don’t enjoy the planting, weeding, watering, maintenance, etc. But I really love the harvesting and that makes it all worth the toil.
Harvesting fresh veggies from my own garden minutes before supper is healthier than veggies traveling all those miles to get to my supper table. Plus food this fresh just tastes better! And I’ve often said that growing your own food is like printing your own money. Pounds & pounds of fresh, organic produce for just the price of a small packet of heirloom seeds? Yes please!
Wanna see how my garden is doing? C’mon in, I’ll share my April garden update!

Today’s throwback Thursday post is aaaaaall about bread. Y’all know RancherMan’s a certified bread-a-holic. He loves bread in all its forms. And I have several bread recipes I make for him.
One of our favorites (and one of the easiest) is a no-knead skillet bread flavored with fresh rosemary. Its simple, delicious and the texture is delightful. We like to infuse olive oil with various herbs & spices for dipping. Delicious and fancy enough for company!
