Eating tasty gluten-free and vegan foods without blowing the budget
Yesterday I wrote about preparing for storms and power outages and I think I jinxed myself. Around 11 pm, as we were just about to go to bed (we homeschool and we stay up kinda late), the power blinked and surged a few times before …
I have this weird thing before storms like hurricanes or snow, basically any time we might be stuck in the house, that I want to start out with the house (relatively) clean. I don’t want to be in here with no air conditioning, smelling our …
I started this list last year and it looks like we’re going to need it again. I’ll divide it into food and non-food items so it’s more organized, I hope! If I’m missing anything, comment below and I can add it to the main list …

It’s getting to be the end of berry season, I guess. Much sadness. I ate so many blueberries this summer though! Every time I saw them on sale anywhere, I’d buy a bunch, eat as many as I could while they were fresh and then …
I wrote yesterday how I hoped Misfits Market would send me more eggplant and then I walked into the kitchen to see two of the red onions had gone bad. I usually buy onions and they can sit on the counter for a couple of …
