ICE CREAM!!

Decide to make a simple vanilla: used two organic eggs, 1/2 cup organic cane sugar,  3 cups organic half and half and some organic vanilla.   Mixed them up in my kitchen aid...and plopped them in our 'new to us'  Donvier thrift store deal!  Lots of fun to make, stir a few times wait 3 minutes, stir a few more times...

in about 20 minutes it looked like this below.  I let it sit for a few more minutes than transferred it to plastic bowl to keep frozen till desert time. 

Here it is out of the freezer after several hours...being scooped up to make......

this very yummy dessert topped with local farm stand peaches!!!   OMGoodness this was so good!!

90% saving on Organic Olive Oil

Whoohoo!   Went to my favorite Candy Factory Store...and got a can of Nunez De Prado Certified Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil for $9.99 for a l Liter can.  And I was thinking wow this is a lot for me to spend on EVOO but  we prefer the richer tasting ones...so when I got home and checked online to see how much this cost regularly I was happily surprised to see Amazon was selling it for $99.99 a Liter!  Wow what a great deal!!! 

I want a blueberry bush or two!

Today, the girls and I went to a local pick- your-own and got 2 pints of  blueberry and a dozen ears of corn.  Spent $8.25.

When the coupon Angels align...

This happens:  $4.53 total for all items pictured;  First, I checked my local deal sites for Wed $1 double match-ups at my local Farm Fresh and I saw on one that King Hawaiian Rolls where on sale for 2 for $4, and that there was a $1 off coupon available in a newspaper insert that I just happened to have two of ,  than on another site I read that there was also a newspaper insert coupon in another flyer that if you buy the King rolls and Wholly guacamole you get a pound of ground beef free up to $3.50  a lb .  Than I remembered that I had two $1 off  Wholly guacamole coupons from a wine tags.  And than finally while at store near the guacamole I found a coupon for $1 of Wholly brand salsa when you buy the guacamole!!!

The  free rolls I'll take to a pool party I'm going to this weekend ( I'm also making a potato salad with my  potatoes surplus on hand).  The meat that was .23 and .26 a package (2.88 a lb.) I'll use to feed our pets (2 cats and 1 dog). who are on the raw food diet.  And I love guacamole and salsa, so those will be incorporated into our family menu!

I love when Chef Daddy's home..

Pretzel Fun!

We decided to have some fun with some pretzel dough tonight!  Some Hot Dog Pretzels, some Salty/ Buttery and some Cinnamon Sugary!!

mmmm.....Breakfast!

Spinach, bacon, avocado and feta salad!!!

Cheese and Apples!

 Tonight was left over night and a "Modern Family" Marathon nite ... Lex had pasta, I had a chicken burrito and Liv had the left over taco fixings, but a bunch of the taco shells kept cracking in half while I was trying to fry them, like I recently learned form a dear friends' taco nite...like 10 of them!!  So with the broken ones I cup them in quarters and fried them up in my free-cycled free Oyster Deep Fryer and made the best nachos we ever ate!  This was the only bit left by the time I cleaned up and grabbed the camera!  And for dessert Liv and I fried up some those green apples we were gifted in a little CO (coconut oil) and a bit of butter with some cinnamon and organic cane sugar...double yummy!!

The law of Generosity...

.... and look what was just lovingly delivered to my front door!!!  I try to be to generous with all whom I love and encounter on a daily basis, in all kinds of ways.   I believe like attracts like...thanks to my dear friend Donna and her partner Margret (who just spent the weekend on Donna's family farm)  I now have all the above for free!!!  Feeling so grateful!!  Green beans, squash, cucumbers, potatoes and tart apples...yum!!!
