So I forgot to mention one thing about me that is SUPER important to all I do! I am SUPER FRUGAL! I don't like to spend money, well that's a white lie I LIKE to spend money but hey I'm no rich person so frugal it is! So a LOT (pretty much all) of what I do is not only to be a little more "natural" and "greener" but it is to be FRUGAL!
So that leads me to FOOD storage... We all know plastic isn't awesome... Plastic containers can release chemicals into the food and liquids we store in them. Yuck! I'd like to help limit exposure of nasty to to my family as best as I can. Plus who wants to keep buying tupperware! How many of them have you lost or thrown out... do the kids and hubby actually EAT the tupperware too? Maybe cause it sure hardly ever makes it back into our house....
So I have started to use GLASS! I love it! My husband used to pick on me for hoarding glass jars, well he isn't picking on me anymore!
Featured is only 1/2 of what I have going on in my fridge right now! Say hello to Pumpkin puree, left over hamburger stew, evaporated milk, apple butter, homemade dairy free cream of chicken soup, chicken noodle soup, tomato sauce and my famous BBQ sauce!
I love to control the ingredients in my food (yucky preservatives and additives) as well as be frugal and make them from scratch, all the BBQ sauce you see there cost $3.50 at most and that not buying my ingredients in bulk (makes it even cheaper!)
Few things about glass... it's free if you re-purpose it! It's SO easy to clean! Chemical free and you can FREEZE in it!!! Yep! FREEZE! When you do so make sure it's room temperature and leave plenty of head space, 1-2 inches I go with 2 inches to be safe, I recently blew up a jar in my freezer because the taco soup tried to escape through the bottom, WHOOPS!
So... Hello, My name is Erica and I am about as frugal as they come!
