Self-Reliant Yuppies
http://selfreliantyuppies.blogspot.com
We're setting a challenge for ourselves: Provide enough produce in our own back yard to supply the majority of our fruit and veggie needs. If we can't grow it, we want to buy it within 10 km of our home. The fun part is we just bought our first home (a farmhouse built in 1834) which needs some TLC, we dont know much about gardening and we want to do as much as we can around here with our own two hands. We've got a lot of learning to do and a lot of work...this should be interesting ;)

Chicken Pot Pie with Cheddar Pastry

Garlic Herb Pasta
This turned out quite well despite me being a bit concerned about it during the cooking process. If you don't have flavorful tomatoes, it's just not the same but hubby said it tasted very similar to an arrabiata he eats often at one of his favorite r...
Meal plan for the next few weeks
I started this list a couple days ago, but figured I might as well post the days we've already had as well. After just sorta playing it by ear for the last week, I have to say I find having a meal plan kind of nice. You don't have to worry about what...
