Green Update!

Well, it's been a while, but I'm excited to update our going green experience. So far, we've been able to reduce our electric bill from $450 down to $109.00. Not only are we saving money on our electric bill, but we've also been able to take a nice tax break with all of our improvements!

Solar panels!

No folks, the solar panels have nothing to do with cooking, however, I'm excited to say that with the panels we've added so far, it's helped reduce our electric bill by a third for this coming month! I can't wait to get a few more up and a wind-generator also!!! No electric bill will be wonderful!!!

Crumbly Burgers

Made another week of school and we're in the process of building a few more solar panels to put on our house so I wanted to find something quick and easy to fix for the family so that we could get back to "going green" lol!!! Here's a quick and easy recipe that you can find on my food website that takes a small twist on the traditional hamburger. Hope you enjoy!!

On The Run

Thank goodness for leftovers! The kids and I got home to find that the dog had gone after some of our chickens. After running around catching the chickens and putting them back in the pen, none of us were up to cooking! Luckily we had plenty of roast left over for sandwiches, so we kicked back and enjoyed some HULU to catch on the internet and try to relax from the day's activities! Now that we've had a rest, we can start working on some more solar panels for our house - trying to give our energy bills a break LOL!
