I have adapted this recipe to suit our tastes and we [...]

 French toast is a favorite around here – and it’s so easy to make. Here’s my favorite way to cook up a batch.
What you need:
~ Sliced bread
~ 2 eggs

 A couple of weeks ago, in an effort to begin using up some of my stockpile of peanut butter, I threw some smoothie ingredients in the blender and added some peanut butter! It actually came out nicely, so I began playing with it to get it just right and we now love it.

 Homemade yogurt is a very nutritious and frugal alternative to the store bought variety. It’s also a great way to use up milk that’s close to it’s expiration date (or all those gallons you get in really great sales)!
If you’re using pre-prepared yogurt as your starter, you’ll need 2 Tbsp. per quart of milk used [...]
