BIRD BED AND BREAKFAST
01/31/2023
It’s day two of the week that’s for the birds. Today we have a variety of bird bed and breakfasts. Heehee. The birds can eat and when their belly gets full, they can nap. These are actual wooden birdhouses covered with bird-friendly “glue” and birdseed. They are so fun. Edible birdhouses would be a fun snow day project with the kids if you’re good with a little rogue birdseed ending up on the floor. Simply brush the bird-friendly edible glue (I used a silicone basting brush) onto a wooden birdhouse and press birdseed into the glue. Add extra decorative touches with bird edibles like unsalted peanuts, dried cranberries, raisins, mealworms, cracked corn, suet nuggets, quick or rolled oats, cheerios or crushed egg shells. Keep in mind, rain may dissolve the “glue”. It’s best to hang under a covered surface for bring in if rain is a possibility. Since the...

FRUGAL KITCHEN DECOR
01/27/2023

Pull out cookbooks that coordinate with the kitchen colors and line them up or stack them on the counter. Add warm tones with cutting boards. Store fruit or vegetables in a pretty bowl. If you have it on hand and it looks nice, put it on display.

DIY CAST IRON SEASONING
01/24/2023
Here is a funny now but not funny then story for you. When I was first married and learning to cook, we inherited a cast iron skillet from my husband’s grandma. Not having any idea what I was doing, I tried cooking eggs in the skillet and they stuck every time. That meant I had to soak the pan afterwards to remove the stuck-on food. Obviously that caused the skillet to rust. Fed up with the dumb skillet that wasn’t non-stick, I put it in a garage sale for $1. Many years later and a little better at cooking, I asked for a cast iron skillet for Christmas. My mother-in-law made a comment about the perfectly seasoned cast iron skillet I sold for a buck in a garage sale twenty years earlier. I had no idea what I had at the time. I bet someone was thrilled with their...
