These are my ideas on how to live life simply and to pursue the more important things in life.

Anytime you have egg shells for the trash, please consider our feathered friends; crushed egg shells mixed into their bird feed provide the birds with a nice protein boost!
Free Vegetable Stock!

If you use a lot of store bought vegetable, chicken, or beef stock, you already know how darn expensive it is. Making and freezing your own stock is absolutely FREE!

I take a gallon size freezer bag that I gradually add to until it is full. Save any potato water after boiling potatoes, vegetable scraps; including the ends of carrots and parsnips, cabbage, escarole, onions, garlic, juices leftover from roasting a chicken or beef, and especially lemons, umm, so good. The next time you need stock in a recipe:

1) Empty your bag of stock into a pot
2) Bring to a boil
3) Turn back heat to low, and simmer for a few hrs
4) strain the broth and discard of any whole pieces
5) Your stock is ready, now lets get cooking!
