Easy, Frugal Cooking |Chicken Tacos
With the machine running, add 1/4 cup vegetable oil and process until the mixture is fairly smooth.
Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet (I use my cast-iron skillet) over medium high heat. Process until smooth.
A couple of months ago, I decided that I wanted to learn how to make Chicken Tacos. I poked through Cook’s Illustrated’s website and found nothing (only a steak taco recipe), so I decided to search some other online cooking sites.

Patchwork Berets from Fabric Scraps
made the pattern on my computer using the simple drawing tools common to word processing programs and added ½ inch to each edge for sewing. The brim is made from leftover suede, stiffened with iron-on stabilizer. Fabric scraps are the natural by-product of a sewing project. Bags and Bags of fabric scraps are the natural result of many sewing projects and the frugal impulse to keep every potential resource.

Etsy Monday: Yippie Designs
What’s ironic about this choice is that I almost never wear pink and I never wear a watch. The entire process, to this day, has been experimentation and trial and error.
It only seems appropriate that I am posting this week’s Etsy Monday on Tuesday. The owner of today’s Etsy shop is a reader of Fantabulously Frugal and we have been going back and forth for months on this article, and pretty much whenever I said I’d do something, I did it a few weeks late.

Rosh HaShannah: New Year Greetings From an Ironing Board
We can iron out past wrinkles in money, relationships and clothing. That's what I learned as I ironed clothing for Rosh HaShannah, the New Year on the Hebrew calendar. Here's what I learned while ironing garments this September. The process requires time, tools and enough heat. Even if you don't celebrate the holiday, September is still a time of beginnings and renewal, including a new school year, a post-Labor Day cycle on Wall Street and changes in leaf colors. Long before I converted to Judaism, I always felt a shift in September.

How To Make Homemade Yogurt
The only trash (which should be recyclable) produced in this process comes from the original milk carton. My cast-iron stockpot will break if I put it into a sink full of cold water, so at this point I pour the milk into the pot I used to sterilize the jars.
Since the milk usually develops some skin at some point during the heating process, I like to strain my it through a small wire mesh strainer while I’m pouring it into the jars.
Those of you who’ve been reading here for a while will recognize the bones of today’s post. When I first posted it

A Day In The Life Of The Frugal Girl (School Year Edition)
I hop out of bed, set up the ironing board, turn on the iron, and start to make the bed. After I throw the sheets into the washer, I iron my husband’s work clothes (ideally I’d have them ironed ahead of time, but my life is not ideal!). I also have time to iron a few other items of clothing.
First, I wanted to say thank you for all of your input on yesterday’s post! I’ll probably post a summary of yesterday’s comments at some point, but one thing that a lot of you requested was more about my day-to-day activities.

Frugal Living Takes Planning and Thought...
I’ve wanted to write this post for quite some time but in an ironic twist the same reason I wanted to write this post was also keeping me from writing this post. But to be honest- more often that not I end up running out of time and just forgoing some of those trips to get sale items. About a month and a half ago Longs drug switched over to CVS here in CA and in the process they decided not to do Extra Bucks for a month. And these days I sometimes have no time for thinking or planning!! If you have been with FFD for some time you may know that over 4 months ago my husband and

Frugal Thermodymics Part I: Limiting Sources of Heat in the Home
The first thing to understand is that heat is a form of energy, it is often produced as a byproduct of other processes. Limit cooking and cleaning activities (especially ironing or using the dryer) to the cooler hours of the day.
8221; You constantly produce heat in the process of respiration. Even though science has always been one of my favorite subjects, I am frequently surprised at how even the most basic principles taught in high school have proven useful to everyday life, household management and health issues. Of late, because heat is the primary financial drain in summer,
