Easy Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas My sister introduced me to these enchiladas years ago when she served it for a holiday dinner. It quickly became a family favorite. Shortly after that, a bunch of us got together to do some big batch freezer meal cooking, and this recipe was bumped to the top of the list. It's everything I love in a recipe: simple, flavorful, versatile. I prefer this version over traditional red sauce enchiladas. The corn tortillas are rolled around a filling of black beans, green chiles, and chicken and soak up the mild, creamy green chile enchilada sauce. It bakes to a bubbly golden brown in a fast 15 minutes! Even Keep Reading
Frugal Homemaking for January: Things to do around your home this month
This is a re-post from a previous year. Some really great ideas for organizing, eating healthy and living frugal. We are kicking off a new homemaking series today! This year, on the first Monday of each month, we will be running lists of things to do around your home and garden to help you stay on track with each new month. I am having a really hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that it is 2014 already. 2013, I barely knew you. So, basically I am fifty years older than I look. If I run into you on the street, don't be surprised if I wave my hand and say, "I remember when you were this big!" But the times, they are a changing, and I'm Keep Reading
Centrifugal vs. Masticating Juicers: Pros and Cons
Centrifugal vs. Masticating Juicers A new year has arrived, which means that December's sugar and butter saturated grocery ads have been replaced by January's kale and grapefruit. All those aisles of Christmas candy are being squeezed out by yoga pants and water bottles. Sales cycles follow our attention spans as much as the seasons. I half expected the whole raw juicing kick to be the same deal. In one month, out the next. But I have been pleasantly surprised that it's been one of those healthy habits that has actually lasted longer than New Year's Resolutions (If you're interested and/or skeptical about making & drinking raw juices, check out Keep Reading
Teach your kids the correct way to use a kitchen knife (FREE Knife Skills Training Videos)
FREE Knife Skills Training for Kids If you want some easy entertainment, put me in a kitchen with my kids and tell us to make dinner (or anything) together. I'm getting panicky just thinking about it. Part of it is I'm not super confident with my cooking skills and part is that my kids are clueless about everything because I haven't formally taught them any skills. So I end up doing everything and they just stand there, sulking and mumbling about how I'm ruining their lives. I'm realizing that I need man up and intentionally train these people in the kitchen. Not only will it give them essential life skills, but it will give me a chance to have Keep Reading

Frugal Family Fun: Orchard Outings
"You cannot sell a blemished apple in the supermarket, but you can sell a tasteless one provided it is shiny, smooth, even, uniform and bright." - Elspeth Huxley This is a re-post from a previous year. Leave those shiny, tasteless apples in the supermarket and head straight to the source instead : your local orchard, produce stand, or farmers market. The fruit is local and in-season so the prices should be competitively priced, if not significantly lower, than what you will currently find in the grocery stores. Plus, you get the added bonus of directly supporting a local grower. My family lives just east of Portland, but every fall we make at Keep Reading
