Are you getting ready for winter???
Yes... I did just ask if you were getting ready for winter. What I mean is... if you are (especially) on abudget or not, you should start getting ready for winter, even though the summer months have just begun.
I have been looking into canning to save money for some time now. Last year I canned applesauce.. I opened my first can this year and it was just as good if not better than last year when I made it! One thing Thomas and I eat a lot of is beans. I will give you some simple instructions on canning beans:
1- Buy some dried beans from your (local) grocery store.
2- For every pound of dried beans, soak them in 6-8 cups of water for 12-18 hours (I prefer 18).
3- After 18 hours, I place them in a pot on the stove with 6 cups of NEW water.
4- I bring it to a boil/
5- Once at a boil I let it boil (rolling) for 1-2 minutes.
6- Cover, let sit for 1-3 hours.
7- Then, I turn the stove back on and let it cook on medium for 30 mintues.
8- Once 30 minutes is up, I pour the beans into a collender and rinse.
9- Using a scoop, I fill my canning jars (which have been sanitized by boiling-- I use the Ball Brand) until they are about a half inch or less from the top.
10- Fill with fresh, clean water for until to the top.
11- Place lid on and screw it on.
12- Once you have filled your jars, Fill a large canning pot with water.
13- Bring it to a rolling boil.
14- Once at a rolling boil, put the cans into a canning cradle and then put it into the boiling water.
15- I always set my timer for 15 minutes.
16- Once the timer is up, I pull the cans out with a special grippy thing, and place them on a dish towel.
17- When the cans are finished they will "pop" or be dented inward.
18- Then store on a shelf and eat them once winter comes along, or the beans (or veggies) aren't as cheap or readily available.
Currently I have canned black beans, northern beans, red beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, baby lima beans, lentils, salsa, strawberry-rhubarb jam, granola, macraoni and tomatoe sauce (thomas is italian lol), and 15 bean soup.
Among other things I have canned: applesauce (with no sugar- if you want the recipe--just comment), strawberry applesauce, mixed berry applesauce, sweet potatoes, chicken soup, pickles and 15 bean soup-finished product.
I plan on canning from my garden: summer squash, zucchini squash, onions, other forms of squash.
I plan on canning from neighbors and local farmer's market: strawberries (which I usually preserve by freezing along with blueberries), carrots, potatoes, jalapenos, Large lima beans, split peas, etc.

ingredients:
- Hurst's HamBean 15 bean soup package or 20 oz of 15 different beans (northern, pinto, large lima, yelloweye , garbanzo, baby lima, kidney, cranberry bean, small white, pink bean, small red, yellow split pea, lentil, navy, white kidney bean, and black bean)
- 1 can of organic diced tomatoes
- 1 pound of chicken Italian sausage
- cajun seasoning
- garlic powder
- chili powder

- garlic herb
- jalapenos (opt)

- Cook up the sausage and drain the grease
- Put beans in in a pot and bring them to boiling- boil them for 30 minutes with the lid on.
- Take a crock pot and put the an of tomatoes in it, along with a cooked pound chicken Italian sausage
- Pour out the water from the beans and put more hot water in the pot until the water is about one inch above the beans
- Then pour the beans and water into the crock pot

Buy now... Save later
Good evening everyone,
As I sit here hard boiling half a dozen eggs for the upcoming week and drinking a glass of red wine, I thought I would give you a few tips that I have recently been doing to save later in the future. Thomas and I are doing our very best to stay away from processed foods and eat as much organic foods as possible. Now organic foods seem to be pricey in the winter months and there isn't much local to eat-- especially in Michigan soooo... why not hit up the Farmer's Market??
I bought some organic strawberries, organic blueberries, and I harvested some organic rhubarb--- cleaned them, cut off the greens, and froze them! Yes what an idea huh?! So what is the lesson I am giving you tonight? If you know that there are certain fruits and veggies that are local and inexpensive in the summer months, why not buy a little bit extra to freeze for the winter months? Who doesn't love the savory taste of organic blueberries in their steel cut oatmeal or organic yogurt?
Well, I am off to join my husband on the couch to watch True Blood Season 5 Episode 1 :)
xoxoxoxo

Salad.... made of random stuff in my fridge.
Okay so usually I used to only have a salad when I had certain "key" ingredients
Well yesterday I looked in my fridge and wondered what I was going to make for dinner- Thomas and I are eating whole foods now, (aka real foods, organic foods, etc). As I looked through my fridge I found some organic romaine lettuce, organic sweet corn on the cob, some black beans, and eggs. Genius!
I ripped up some lettuce, washed it and threw it into a medium bowl, added some black beans, cut off the kernels and threw that into the bowl, grabbed my last 2 eggs and hard boiled them, and took a handful of raw sunflower seeds threw that in there too.
After looking at my creation, I began to wonder what other things I could throw together and be completely happy about it. Eating Real Food is the best thing that ever happened to me. Thomas is still learning how to "like" it all but he is trying. I mean we don't have a whole lot of money so things need to go as far as possible.
Last night I was able to go to the store and buy some local veggies and fruits. I got other whole foods to last us a while too. Today I made some strawberry rhubarb jam- completely organic (I will post the recipe for this next). . I took half of my organic blueberries and froze them so that I can have organic fruit for my homemade cereal. We also got our garden put in today. Planted some corn, zucchini, yellow summer squash, and green onions. There is also a ton of Rhubarb plants in the garden that have been in Thomas' family for years. (I took some of the rhubarb and froze it as well, along with some strawberries my sister bought for me at the Farmer's market today)
Well I just want everyone to know Salad can be fun and easy!!
- tomatoes
- carrots
- onions

Who Needs Visalus?
So the latest diet thing is Visalus. It is basically where you have 2 meal replacement shakes a day and eat one healthy meal and 2 snacks. There are many people losing weight with it- Sure it sounds great and all... but as a health coach, 21 year old newlywed, and frugal girl who is living on one income and trying to stay healthy.... I can't afford $100 a month for diet shakes.
This is what I have to say-
Losing weight and cleansing your body takes time. You aren't going to magically lose all this weight and be extremely fit.There is a lot to losing weight and becoming overall healthy.
First off you need to cleanse your body of toxins.
- Try the detox water I talked about (cucumbers, lemons, mint leaves, and water)
- Also add 2 TBSP of apple cider vinegar to your water a day
- Drink 64 ounces a day (at least)
***Here is a tip, when you are cleansing your body of toxins, your skin may begin to "purge", such as acne and blackheads on your skin. Try taking 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup Epsom salts, 1 Tbsp honey, 1 bag of black tea, and 10 drops of tea tree oil, 7 drops of peppermint oil, and 5 Tbsp almond oil. Mix it all together-- open the black tea bag and pour in the contents. Use this in the shower every other day. Your skin will get softer, and it will help take care of the blackheads and acne.***
The second thing to do is to set a realistic goal. Write down 5 things you want to be healthier in. Also you need to start substituting things in your diet- instead of steak- have turkey. Instead of hamburgers- make turkey burgers. Instead of bacon eat turkey bacon. Instead of baked beans- have black beans. Catch my drift?
Next start exercising slowly. If you start off going crazy with crunches, running, push ups, sit ups, leg lifts, etc.. you are going to be tired and decide that you don't want to do it. Start by walking 4 minutes and run 1 minute. Stretch. Go for about 3 or 4 walks/runs a day for about a week. Start with 3 sets of 25 crunches, leg lifts, side bends, pushups, and jumping jacks. Do this 2 times a day, then the next week do them 3 times a day, then up your reps.
Then just start eating healthier, make your food at home. I know sometimes when you are out and about you see taco bell or the golden arches and you are so hungry that you have to eat right that second. In reality, you can wait until you get home to eat some homemade granola, fruit, and yogurt, or turkey burger on whole wheat bun, etc
And drink one can of V8 a day! I do!!!

Coupons 2 save
I have bern using coupons a lot when I shop.... Although I need produce coupons ahhh!
Another thing I do is reuse coffee grounds, the coffee will be weaker but u will get another round out of them!
Invest in a juicer! It is awesome.... Especially in the fall.
Make your own jams and jellies.
Learn how to can! It will save u so much money!
if u dont have a juicer or can't afford one... Drink V8 everyday!

Quinoa Dinner! Super Healthy
Okay so after looking up some recipes about Quinoa, I came up with one of my own, with other recipes guidelines. I cooked this last night for my husband and I and we loved it. He added some italian dressing to his to give it a little more zesty flavor. I found that after I ate it, I felt full, but not like I was going to explode and it kept me full and energized until bed time! So here it is:
Ingredients:
1 Package Imitation Crab Meat
3 Ears of Corn
2 Cups Quinoa
1 Can of organic black beans
1 bag of organic frozen peas (in the steamable bags)
1 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice*
2 Tbsp Lemon Zest *
1/2 Tbsp Honey
1/2 Stick of organic unsalted butter (melted)
salt
pepper
*1 lemon is good for both the lemon zest and the fresh lemon juice
Directions:
1- Get a large pan and cook the corn. basically fill the pan until water is just above the corn. as soon as it starts to boil turn off the burner and leave the lid on for about 5 minutes.
2- put your lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, black beans, peas and butter into a bowl and mix together.
3- Pull the corn from the pan and cut the corn off of the cob- add to bowl
4- Cut up the imitation crab meat- add to bowl
5- In a sauce pan add 4 cups of water and 2 cups of quinoa- follow directions on the bag as to how long to cook
6- when the quinoa is finished add it to the bowl and mix everything together.
7- serve in bowls!
dig in! it doesn't look that wonderful but tastes good!

Detoxing without being on the Toilet all day....

Well I recently ran across a few different drinks and decided one of these with a little tweeking has been great for me!
this is what you will need:
-Pitcher that can hold 2 liters of water
-1 cucumber
-1 Lemon

-Knife
Okay now:
1- Cut your cucumber up in medium to thin slices
2- Put them in the bottom of the pitcher
3- Cut your Lemon up in thin slices
4- Put them on top of the cucumbers
5- Add mint leaves
6- Pour in purified water until it reaches the 2L mark
7- Put in fridge for about 12 hours
8- Drink 1-2 glasses a day.
Continue this for about a week. Your skin begins to clear up and you will feel healthier!
