A small company that hand crafts sewn items, sews new items & alters existing garments. This cottage industry is allowing one Mommy the extra income to be able to stay at home with her girls. Staying home has always been important, but one of our three girls has been recently diagnosed with Aspergers/Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder. Now its not just a nice thing, its a MUST.

Saving $$$ 1996 Style!
I have this book from 1996 that my MIL bought for me at a yard sale about six or seven years ago. The prices are so funny to read! Pillsbury refrigerator biscuits go on sale for $.25! Hahaha! Ground beef is $.99 per lb. Expensive cereal is $3 a box. But the concepts are still very valid!
I'm re-reading it and have found some GREAT recipes!
Right now I'm making homemade granola. I'll post the recipe after I decide if I like it. The one I'm excited about is a cream of ___ soup mix.
Cream of ____ Soup Mix
2 cups instant milk
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup instant chicken bouillon
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp pepper
Combine these in an air tight container.
To use for soup, combine 1/3 cup mix and 1-1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil stirring often. Add a vegetable for more flavor - diced celery, mushrooms or broccoli.
To use for any recipe calling for a can of cream of mushroom, chicken, or celery soup use 1/3 cup mix and 1-1/4 cup of water. Boil a few minutes & stir often.
