One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

quotes - the work you do while you procrastinate

Quote of the Day “The work you do while you procrastinate is probably the work you should be doing for the rest of your life.”

Lucy the puggle dog

I keep finding this naughty little bird at my desk when I’m not looking. I’m not sure if she’s looking for a snack, my retainer of if she has something to say. Am I the only one with a nutty pooch, or do you find your dog in peculiar places too?

Thursday. Let’s do this!

  1. The dry soup mix looks great. Thought you might like this one. I use it lots–for soup or in rice…(found at fimby.tougas.net):

    Ingredients:

    1 part dehydrated vegetable flakes (or dry veggie soup mix from bulk at WinCo)
    3 parts nutritional yeast
    1/2 part onion powder
    1/4 part garlic powder
    1/4 part italian seasoning
    1/2 part dried parsley
    Directions:

    Put all ingredients in a blender and pulverize to a fine powder. Store in airtight container.

    2 tsp – 1 tbsp of broth powder mixed with 1 cup of water makes a flavorful broth. Add salt to your own tastes.

    Notes:

    When I make this I make lots, about 4 cups worth (1 cup of dehydrated vegetable flakes). I use this broth powder mixed with water whenever broth is called for in a recipe. Easy, cheap, healthy and tasty.

  3. I have a 7 year old rescue kitty who has been with us since July…it took her a long time to get comfortable, she was very skittish, but now she owns the place. I find her sitting on my office chair at the computer all the time. And smack dab in the middle of my side of the bed, even though she knows I’m going to move her when it’s time to read or go to bed. Sometimes, she steals my spot when I get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I think our beloved fur-babies do it to get attention—like toddlers, they want attention, even if it’s for getting in trouble! Lucy is so adorable, I think she likes to have her picture on the interwebz and does whatever it takes to get it there!

  4. I just wanted to say that Lucy is so stinkin’ cute! It’s easy to see she is full of personality, and that look on her face as she sits in your chair (writing her blog?) is just priceless. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

  5. Regarding Lucy Puggle Princess at the computer, I think she is imitating you. My cat loves to curl up in my office chair, walk in front of my face when I am trying to work on my computer, and she also loves to sit on the printer, which is located on the corner of my desk, and look out the window. I guess pets figure if its a place their human likes, they like it, too!
