Oh Apples

Since my unemployment began over one year ago I have been searching for ways to save money. Purchasing groceries through Angel Food Ministries has proven to be a huge savings. For the last few months apples were included in the Signature Food Box. At one point I had three bags of apples! With all those apples, I had to find ways to use them. My search was a journey that turned into addiction! Part 1 -… Continue

Being Prepared. For Mammograms, Good News and Good Health. (Gingered Spinach and Mushroom Soup)

As I write this, I'm sitting in the waiting room of The Presbyterian Breast Center in Charlotte NC. Because of an as-yet-unexplained abnormality in my mammogram of last week, I'm here for a "diagnostic" mammogram and, depending on that outcome, perhaps some other tests. I've been assured that I will not leave here today without a fairly definitive reason for my abnormal mammogram. Coincidentally, October was National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The event's distinctive pink ribbons were aflut… Continue

A+ Plan August 2009 Newsletter - End Of Summer Berries!

We've had a summer full of berries and other wonderful fruit, but who wants more besides me? Enjoy your final sunny days outside and go berry picking, burning calories, saving money, and spending quality time with friends and family.

Recipe Tuesday - Mmmmufins

Okay, I am no Martha Stewart, Rachel Ray or even a little Miss Suzy Homemaker. I like to cook when I have the time and the ingredients but otherwise in a busy momma's life, it's all about the short cuts. To me, muffins are one of the more intimidating goodies to bake. Now little Miss Suzy Homemaker in the back.. you know who you are, right now is saying... "Muffins inti midating, say what!" But it's true. I think perhaps I read one too many complicated recipes, shied at the many ingredients you… Continue

Recipe Tuesday - Applesauce

The nicest thing about homemade? You control the ingredients. No chemicals, no preservatives, no artificial flavours, no food colours. My kids actually like this better than the Mott's fruit cup I usually buy for them. It takes a small bit of extra effort because you have to peel your own apples and chop them up but it's worth it. So here is homemade applesauce a la Zeemaid: Water chopped or grated apples (11 medium apples makes four cups) approx 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 cup of honey or 3/4 cup… Continue
