Typically, we never have coffee leftover after I've been up. However, today I did. I decided to use 1 cup of it to make 1-2-3 Coffee Bars for after school and lunch snacks. Not very healthy, but frugal.
The rest of it will go in the fridge, for iced coffees. The weather is good today and it sounds about as good as homemade iced tea (made with green tea of course).
Our coffee grounds are always composted or sprinkled in flower beds after we make coffee - nothing wasted.

Wear it out,
Make it do,

If my kids had a video camera. . .
My kids would have filmed me last night if they had the chance. I was be-bopping back and forth in the kitchen trying to get all of the garden veggies sliced and diced for roasting. I typically have things under control, but not last night.
After I put the baking dish of delicious and fresh vegetables in my oven, I started to make stove top tuna and noodle - a family favorite. It took me 15 minutes to realize I forgot to add the potatoes and carrots to the roasting pan, quickly pulled it out.
"Oh no! I love potatoes," said my thirteen-year-old daughter
I was frantically moving around the kitchen (potato and carrot peelings flying in mid air), between one pot on the stove top, and preparing the potatoes and carrots, when my sixteen-year-old said, "gosh Mom we need to catch you on film. We'd make a lot of money on funniest videos with you!"
Now doesn't that make a mother proud? Ha ha!
