Book Review: Family Feasts for $75 a Week.

This is a wonderfull cookbook from a blogging mom! You can read about her and her family of 12 at Owlhaven.

After reading the book, I like the wonderful Mrs. Ostyn writes about her family life and how she adapts recipes for her family. I like the easy recipes and her hints on ways to make them even for frugal!

I fixed Chili Corn Pone Pie (pg 112) for my family the other day. Overall it recieved good reviews. The only desenter was my youngest who is not partial to beans, expect of the green variety. LOL For my family, I will make it saucier next time, but there will be a next time with this recipe. Which is a good thing!

So, if you are in the market for a new cookbook, check out "Family Feasts for $75 a Week" by Mary Ostyn.

**I am not receiving any kind of compensation for this review. I even bought the cookbook myself.**

Blizzard of 2010

That's how the local news is describing it. LOL This is from the first wave of the storm. I was going to get some pictures of todays new one, but the wind was SO bad that it was pure white outside most of the day. Maybe I can get some pictures tomorrow.

I had not realized I have been THAT busy!

I have been working full time at the school and I am taking a full course load of classes this semester. Add that to keeping house, I am one BUSY lady!

I do not want life to get in the way of my blogging, but I am not sure how I am going to work my posts into my schedule. Maybe I can plan to spend 10-15 minutes a night thinking of things to write about and then another 10-15 minutes in the morning posting those thoughts.

I still need to be frugal, but how I do that is changing. I can not spend as much time cooking as I used to, but I don't want to start buying convenience food either. Not just because of costs, but also because of health reasons!

I will work this out and start posting more.
