Meal Prep ~ Weather ~ More Cleaning and Crocheting (and crafting)

Sort of a boring post, but not much else to talk about in winter time.  Hope you enjoy.

 Meal prepping from the freezer and pantry has been a complete success, not to mention sort of fun.  It's been a fun challenge for sure.
When I made the banana bread the other day, I swapped out the oil for home canned applesauce.  I also used walnuts from the freezer (grown locally).
Tonight's meal is soup beans, using a ham bone from the freezer.  I'm pulling some sour cream from the freezer too.  Adding some to homemade buttermilk (using homemade buttermilk) corn bread makes a very moist bread.

 I also pulled organic ground pork to make homemade sausage.  I'll be back to let you know what I use it for as well.

Well, the weather man wasn't wrong.  We went from freezing cold temps to a boat load of rainfall.  

 Clean/purge/re-organize updates:

 Garage:  5% done (looks like a losing game of Jumanji)
Utility Room:  1% (starting)
Bedroom/Closet:  85% done
Master bath:  99% done

 New project:

 I'm not in a hurry with it.  It's like the poem about giving a Mom a muffin - I found the clothespins in a box in my utility room while attempting to start purging/cleaning in there.

    Your purging is going well. I have done some myself in the kitchen. I truly have straightened the one cabinet that was the worst, now onto the under the sink mess. I hope to do it on Saturday or Sunday and hope to find some extra way to organize the mess. It is mostly Tupperware containers, lids, etc.

    Som any of us are cleaning and purging! I love hearing about the 'day to day'....it's not boring to me! I need to try using applesauce in my baking instead of oil. I am finishing up my master bath and then moving to closet next week then the bedroom. I have so much of Jim's things stuffed in my closet but I am ready to clear it out now. I couldn't do it at first. We have storms coming this weekend so I will be busy inside....plenty to do inside and out around here! HAve a great day and a nice weekend!

    Sam I Am, it's raining here this weekend, and a flood watch too. We'll be indoors as well.

    I often think my days are boring, but they're actually normal homemaking days. I happen to like seeing how others are spending their days, so I always enjoy your posts :)

    We are expecting some snow overnight, a bit of a strange thing indeed lol

    Oh I think your purging is going great! The fun thing about the bathroom is it's easy to keep it purged. I need to keep working on our garage, but it's cold out there.

    Same here Lady Locust. It's a perfect time to clean the garage, but cold.

    And don't you feel light, when all is neat and tidy again. We accumulate so much junk and otherwise. Kristina, I have a question about how you work your pay pal for your your craft business. I see that you take paypal, but see no button. Email me at a Rosebyandbydesign@yahoo.com. Thank you appreciate it.
