Good morning and happy Wednesday to all. A little cooler this morning, in the 40's. Bright and cheery looking outdoors and it will be a lovely day again.
This morning there were 2 red-winged black birds and the newest one to show up had a ton of red on its wings. I bet it is a male. Their song is just so neat, very distinct from all the other birds. Gosh I love the morning songs. I wish I had a recorder, so I could record and post. I would love you to hear what I hear every morning and a lot of the day!
Be a master of your pantry!!!!!

Just a simple way to make homemade ketchup. Not like most canning recipes that contain dozens of items and takes hours. This tastes really good. Uses normal at home pantry items, doesn't take a lot of time, win-win.
Love me some homemade sloppy Joe. No need to buy the bottles of sauce. One of the easiest things to make. I also add a splash of Worcestershire Sauce - gives it a bit of a zip!
Easy-peasy ideas. Hope these help someone out a little. New homemakers need to find easy ideas to stretch those dollars. There isn't always a mom available to answer questions. Let us by the mom to them and whomever might need a good idea or two.
If you have an easy tip - drop us a note!
Have a beautiful day my friends.
Good Morning Cheryl! These are great. I saved the steak sauce recipe to try. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteMorning Penny. Glad you found one you could use. Thanks and you too!!!
DeleteI grew up with the homemade steak sauce. Never really cared for the store bought one.
ReplyDeleteI have made ketchup. Even with canned tomatoes it's so much better.
Mom added diced green pepper and onion to her sloppy joes. I usually skipped the green pepper.
It's funny but I never thought of my mom as very innovative or frugal. But when I got married I learned not everyone made their own salad dressings or steak sauce! My poor husband. Not only did my homemade taste different to him, he just couldn't understand not just buying the jar of cocktail sauce or Italian dressing!
It was a loooong adjustment for him! Lol
Kitchen made food is so much better than the stuff from the store. Most of the ingredients are unpronounceable. I made ketchup when we lived out at Lizton and had a big garden. I pinned the steak sauce recipe. It does go funky if not used up.
ReplyDeleteIt is cooler this morning but the sun is shining, so we'll take it! Enjoy your day! Erin and I are going to do some poking around in Goodwill and Costco.
I only use about a half teaspoon of steak sauce at a time and end up throwing away the whole bottle.
ReplyDeleteToday, two little birds are courting right on the rail of the ramp. We are being entertained up close to the door instead of watching them out in the yard. Other birds are zooming all over the yard. Fun.
Another beautiful day! More work outdoors, for sure. It's never ending. Made me sleep Very Well last night. :)
