Fire Pit! A New Way To Cook?

I am already thinking about spring and gardening! My mom gave me this fire pit for Christmas. Cannot wait until I can get out in the yard and build a place for it and then enjoy it. Already have a stack of pavers on my back deck for making a place just for the fire pit. Cannot wait to try out some new ways to cook. I have been printing out recipes and on Pinterest looking for recipes.

Keep These Items Stocked Up

 There are some items that should always be in your food storage. They can be used so many different ways. You can use these items to make so many things and to use up leftovers. Any time you see these items on sale , stock up!!

Tortillas - Possibilities are endless with these. You can use any leftovers of any kind of meat in them. Or even just roll up lunch meat  and cheese. They freeze pretty well , too. 

Ready Made pizza crust - These can come in handy for many ways. You can make pizza, of course, but you can also make other things. Breakfast pizza using leftover sausage. Make a sweet "pie" with pie filling and some dribbles of icing. 

Broth - Any soup can be made with a starter of broth. Use up leftover chicken, rice, vegetables, ground beef, etc - possibilities are endless.  STOCK UP !

Canned Tomatoes - They can be use in recipes of all kinds. They even have canned ones that have the seasoning all ready in them. Use in chili, tacos, salads, and so on and on. I even use them to make salsa. Keep as many cans on hand as you can.  Watch for sales and have at it.

This is so good for when you have a sore throat! Helps with colds also. The lemon is high in vitamin C.  Honey has antiviral properties. I try to drink this as soon as I start feeling that I am getting a cold.

 

 1 lemon 

 

2 teaspoons of honey 

 

Put the juice of that lemon into a cup and pour boiling water into that.

 

 Add the honey .

 

 Drink as soon as it gets cool enough.

Perfect meal!

We even have it for dinner!
