Spaghetti Sauce
I love making homemade spaghetti sauce. For several years now, I've been trying to make more homemade foods to save money. Also, I know what's in my food (i.e. no chemical additives, etc.). I used to buy ready-made spaghetti (and pizza) sauces that come in a can or jar, and while they definitely are easier and more time-consuming to use, I like knowing that I'm making my own with what we have.I like to make my spaghetti sauce in big batches so that it can be frozen and pulled out whenever I ...
The Company – a Litfuse Review
The Company, a Christian allegory novel written by Chuck Graham, is a solid 249 pages, a pretty fast read that will keep you on the edge of your seat.At first, it was hard to get into.

This Scarlet Cord – a Booksneeze Review

Through what she imagines ...
A Use for Leftover Shampoo
Today I was down to the last little bit in my shampoo bottle, but I knew that there was a good bit left, but probably not enough for a shampoo. It's hard to glean that little bit of shampoo that's left because of the narrow mouth at the top, so usually I just toss it. However, I'm a frugal girl and hate to not use everything! I wondered how to put that little bit in there to use. Then the light bulb went off!I use a foam soap dispenser (I get the cheap antibacterial hand soap, pour about half a ...
