Fortuitously Frugal: CSA Week #6

http://fortuitouslyfrugal.blogspot.com/2009/11/csa-week-6.html

Striving for balance in a simpler, greener, more frugal way of life. Monday, November 23, 2009. Realising this blog won't write itself, I figure it's time. I'll admit I'm hesitant since I'm feeling a little guilty about my progress with our veggies. My reason for blogging about our experience with a weekly Community Supported Agriculture share was to force me to be accountable and push me to use it wisely. Thank goodness for that, otherwise we might have long been buried in rotting produce. Yams (1) 470 g.

Fortuitously Frugal: August 2009

http://fortuitouslyfrugal.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Striving for balance in a simpler, greener, more frugal way of life. Thursday, August 20, 2009. Locally delicious or how much do you know about your meal? I just finished the most wonderful meal. It was simple, quick, inexpensive and sooo delicious. Now, I have to admit that part of the reason it was inexpensive was that my mother had given me some of the ingredients most of which were bought from local growers at the Milton Farmer's Market. So, what's the big deal? A family-run farm located outside King...

Fortuitously Frugal: February 2011

http://fortuitouslyfrugal.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Striving for balance in a simpler, greener, more frugal way of life. Thursday, February 17, 2011. It seems that lately all I think about is food. I admit I'm a little compulsive since declaring us a flexitarian family. At lunch yesterday, I realised I had an overwhelming choice of delicious options in my kitchen - leftover butternut squash lasagna. Vegetable samosas, split pea soup, masala hummus (thank you Julie for introducing me to this! Strawberry banana green smoothie. I already can't consume as muc...

Fortuitously Frugal: Loving my green power!

http://fortuitouslyfrugal.blogspot.com/2011/07/loving-my-green-power.html

Striving for balance in a simpler, greener, more frugal way of life. Friday, July 22, 2011. Loving my green power! Late one recent night, I couldn't sleep and on a whim downloaded a Kobo e-book for my iPod Touch (I can't put into words how much I love this little device). I must say that e-books are frighteningly easy to buy. Just two or three taps and it's yours! Green for Life - Kobo. What was this fascinating read? Green for Life" by Victoria Boutenko. I've mentioned this book in another post. After o...

Fortuitously Frugal: Green Smoothies

http://fortuitouslyfrugal.blogspot.com/2011/02/green-smoothies.html

Striving for balance in a simpler, greener, more frugal way of life. Friday, February 11, 2011. About a year and a bit ago. I was "inspired" to try making green smoothies. I'd read a post about The Wonder of Green Smoothies. However, my fear both of drinking one and of making my little breastfeeding guy gassy prevented me. Today, my no-longer-breastfeeding guy and I made one. This is what went in:. 6 -8 leave romaine lettuce. 3 cups chopped mango (I used thawed frozen mango). Juice from 1/2 lemon. K curr...

Striving for balance in a simpler, greener, more frugal way of life. Thursday, January 13, 2011. Last night I dug out some frozen shredded zucchini. It was from our garden. In 2009! I thawed it, rinsed it, drained it, squeezed it (to remove some of the extra water), and it was just fine. I used it to make a family favourite: Zucchini Bread. It's from my beloved Betty Crocker cookbook. I've had the book since about 1998 and it has so many good recipes. Photo from BettyCrocker.com. Contains values that elu...

Fortuitously Frugal: June 2012

Striving for balance in a simpler, greener, more frugal way of life. Friday, June 29, 2012. Greener Shores: The New Garden. We recently moved to a home with a MUCH larger yard. Admittedly, most of our energy has been spent getting the inside livable, and also on day-to-day life. Thankfully, the yard has excellent bones and is carrying on despite our neglect.
