urban homesteading

While cutting celery that I was given at market on Friday, and dehydrating it, I thought about sharing the things I do here in my home to live more frugally and better. I make two loaves of bread with the organic flour I have stored in the pantry. Went to the freezer and pulled out a pork roast, cut some of that celery, onion and seasoned it up good before I baked it for 3 hours. Then in the last hour, I poured some of my home made and canned sauerkraut over it to finish baking. I also got some corn out of my freezer that I had frozen previous summer. I whipped up a half gallon of instant non-fat milk from storage, and made baked corn. I also peeled potatoes that I bought from the store on sale and made gourmet mashed potatoes which I love. Homemade dinner on a budget!!
Today I took some of the pork, pulled it, seasoned it with BBQ sauce, toasted some buns that I was given at market(I work there)and had a pork BBQ for dinner...Then I packed up the left over BBQ into 3 containers, just enough for me and froze it for quick meal later. I also put the remaining pork back in the sauerkraut and froze it for a meal later. I have saved energy, mine and the electric company and will have quick meals another day. I am done buying prepared foods from the store with all their chemicals and inferior quality and high price. You can do it too!!
