Our very first Muffin Tin Monday


I found this idea at this site and loved it! What a great way to ease into a Monday after a busy weekend and use up some little bits of food here and there. The kids are totally loving it.

Lyshie's Tin has the following:
Baked Wheat Crackers
Dates and Bananas
Refried Beans
Carrots
Tortilla Chips
Celery and Dip

Jon's tin is a mini tin so it has duplicates in it:
Cottage Cheese
Baked Wheat Crackers
Swiss Cheese Cubes
Carrots
Dates
Refried Beans
Bananas
Celery

Did you have much food left at the end of the day? I tried this once, and I don't know if it was just that day, but I felt like I ended up wasting food b/c Graeme didn't eat it all, but it had sat out all afternoon. Maybe once he is a little older with more of an appetite, because I love the idea!

P.S. We're going to try a Mountain Rose Herbs co-op on GreenOps - I remembered you'd wanted one before, so I just wanted to LYK, in case you want to order some things :)

No I didn't. lol. But I have a 9 1/2 year old and one that's almost 3 who eats a lot. Plus I used up stuff that needed to get used up so I wouldn't feel as bad if it didn't get eaten. Maybe just do smaller servings or leave some holes empty? Thanks for letting me know about the co-op!

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery.  So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy.  I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out.  I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing.  Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful.  I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips.  At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery.  I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible.  So my food options may seem different than ma...

Gardening tips on a budget

Matt planting our $5 tree. It's 3 years old now and is gorgeous!!! A variety of basil panted in a container. Our lovely calendula. This is a family favorite grown from seed. Cherry tomatoes. Squash Another variety of basil. That was just a bit of what I grew a couple years ago. Bean plant. Lovely lavender! Many times I've wanted to plant a massive garden or have several plants I could simply not afford. Not just that but other things such as mulch, weed blankets and more. I hope you find the tips below as helpful as we have. Please feel free to add your own gardening tips. 1. Purchase trees at the end of the season. We've gotten a few trees for $5 and $10 at the end of the season. We planted them and they've done just fine! Talk about a huge savings! You can also do this with bulbs and other plants. :) 2. Use newspaper for weed barrier protection instead of the weed blankets. You'll want to do this fairly thick; anywhere from 5...
