One way to both eat healthier and more frugally is to cook from scratch using whole grains. I love to use a variety of whole grains in my cooking. I've found that it's a lot cheaper to buy whole grains in large quantities, but most of us can't use 25 lbs. of wheat or quinoa every week. So we will need to find a way to store these whole grains so that they can remain fresh and bug-free while we are using them. Today I'd like to share some tips that I use in my family for buying and storing whole grains. Buying Whole Grains I get a lot of questions about where I buy my grains. Today I'd like to answer this for you as best as I can. A lot of it will depend on where you live and what's available in your area. I posted a few years ago about what to include in a frugal pantry  which includes a lot of the grains that I buy on a regular basis. If you look through my recipes you will notice that I use a lot of the following grains: Brown Rice White Wheat Oats  (Oat Groa...

Black Bean Salsa 1 can black beans drained and rinsed 2 C frozen sweet white corn 1 sweet pepper diced (orange, yellow or red...no green) 2 large tomatoes (4 small) diced 3 green onions sliced 1 avocado diced 1/2 cup chopped cilantro 1 Zesty Italian Seasonings dressing - made up with oil, vinegar and water according to directions Mix in a bowl and season with salt and pepper if needed.  Serve with warm corn tortilla chips. **I've had a ton of different versions of this recipe, but I like this one best.  And if my avocados are ripe enough, I usually put 2 or 3 in. But for the picture, I was lucky one was ripe. **And in my opinion, the smaller the dice and slice, the better.

Temperatures are cooling and the sick season is upon us. I've been trying to be vigilant about giving myself and my kids  kefir  every day to help them fight off the germs that they are surrounded with. This is one of our favorite ways to get our daily dose of  kefir . This Orange Julius is so easy to make and so yummy. We love to have it for breakfast, but it works with any meal or as a snack. The Orange Julius in my pictures might look a little more frozen then yours will turn out if you follow my recipe. I actually made it for my kids for breakfast that morning and didn't have time to snap any pictures so I stuck it in the freezer for about a half hour before I took the pictures. It crystallized just a little and turned out really yummy. Kind of like a frosty. If you don't have  kefir  milk and still want to make this recipe, you can substitute regular milk. It will work great. Make sure you read up on  kefir  though. It's really good for ...

Once again it has been a busy couple of weeks. My husband and I ran a half marathon (13.1 miles) a few weeks ago. It was an awesome experience. I never intended to be a runner. I still don't really consider myself one. But I wanted to set a fitness goal that would be a challenge and push me to a new level. I trained for 12 weeks, running 5 days a week. On Saturdays, my husband and I would run the longer runs together. Our kids supported us by coming with us on many of those Saturday runs. They rode their bikes and we ran. It was hard, but I'm so glad we did it. It was worth it. Here's a picture of us at the finish line: I'm sharing this with you because I want you to see that if you are determined, YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS too. You can make changes in your life. You can set goals and achieve those goals. You can create a healthier person and encourage your family in being healthier as well. There are so many things in life that we don't have control of. Life gives us ...
