I like to bake cookies, and I like to budget. I’m ashamed to say it, but there was a period in my life where I stopped baking cookies. If you’ve ever eaten homemade cookies before, you’ve probably tasted the Toll House recipe. It cooks up a flat, crunchy cookie, provided you follow the baking times.

When finances are tight, often the only area we can control is our food spending. Homemade baked goods: Oatmeal Raspberry Muffins w/ Chocolate Chips , waffles, pancakes, scones, etc. – (W & Sat). Lunches: Soups & Homemade Breads – The BEST EVER Enchilada Soup (more often in the fall & winter, less in the summer).

I don’t want to feel like I’m wasting all the gifts I’ve been given, including my finances. On a recent trip that involved flying, I packed dry oats, dry chia seeds, frozen homemade applesauce, homemade cookies, a loaf of Jimmy John’s bread made into 3 salami sandwiches, and a bag of baby carrots.
