Food Storage Recipe - Quick Creamy Mushroom Soup!

This is what Little Man and I had for lunch yesterday! Yummy and fast!

Creamy Mushroom Soup

1 package of ramen noodles - it doesn't matter the flavor, you do not use the flavor packet.

1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup

a handful of sliced mushrooms, I used my dehydrated ones this time and it turned out great.

salt and pepper 

Cook the noodles as it says to on the package. drain.

Prepare the soup as directed and then add the noodles and mushrooms to it. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes. Salt and pepper this and eat! Just enough for the 2 of us.
 

Homemade Pizza Sauce

Bacon In My Pocket: Saucy!

Found this , on Pinterest , of course. I now cannot wait until my tomato plants start producing.

I am going to make up a bunch of homemade spaghetti sauce also.

Yard Sales & Homeschooling!

It is my favorite time of the year! Finally - it is starting to get busy around my small town with the lovely sight of yard sales! I love going to them to find camping gear, kitchen ware, survival gear, & tools. But another thing that I have been finding the last few weeks at the yard sales is Homeschool items. Well, not really specifically made for homeschool stuff, but I have been finding textbooks, flashcards, paper, craft items, learning toys, etc. Great way to homeschool on the cheap. Frugal homeschooling is the best.

I also use it as a learning tool for my Little Man - He has learned a lot about counting money going to yard sales. I give him $5.00 and then he can figure up how much things are and how much he has or has left. Fun way to teach money skills, budgeting, counting of money, etc.

Crayon Candle

...and chaos ensued: Crayon Candle

I am going to be able to make a few of these! We have a lot of broken crayons in our house. Plus I found this just in time - I am out of actual candle wax and have about 80 wicks left!! YAY!!  

Plus I always save all of my glass jars that I get from anything, like pickles, spaghetti sauce, etc! Great way to reuse items and get something out of it that is useful.
