    A great tip to change up flavors is to crush up the freeze dried fruits and add them to the cakes and muffins and you won't believe how intense the flavor of your baked goods are. Good for icing, too.

    I just want to say, your hair is looking great. I love buying vegetables that do double duty. When I buy one large cabbage, I can make slaw, put some in a stir fry, make some sauerkraut for sausage, and so on. Cauliflower or broccoli tips can be roasted, put into soups, stalks made into slaw. I take one vegetable and make several dishes. Love that......

    My daughter and I got ourselves tested for food allergies. Some of our allergies were the same, some were not. I began to make a game of eating veggies and fruits in some sort of rotation and meat as well. We ate veggies and fruits we'd never eaten before, but we did have variety. I found the hardest thing was going to the grocery store and standing for long periods of time, reading ingredients. Some things we usually ate went off our list of things to eat, but new things were added. One week I'd make a chicken/tomato recipe with canned pears as a desert; the following week I'd make some sort of beef with potatoes with applesauce for desert. The week after that I'd make pork and sauerkraut and have mandarin oranges for desert. If there were leftovers, into the freezer they went to reappear weeks later. It's doable.

    We have a neighbor that their son is allergic to a lot of stuff. He is especially allergic to peanuts. If he eats in a restaurant they have to make sure that nothing of his food can be fried in a skillet that had peanut oil in to fry something else. He also has to be gluten free, however if his mom makes the bread with spelt he can eat that and doesn’t get sick.

    When butter is expensive, look for other things to use before you use butter for something. In baking, use crisco if you can, for frying use bacon grease, for toast use peanut butter or jam. Save butter for special things.

    I have made chocolate by adding cacao to coconut oil and sweetener. Sometimes with almonds and/or shredded coconut (ala almond joy or mounds). Pop it in ice cube trays to freeze and voila! Of course, I don’t have measurements/recipe. But it was super easy when I did it.
    Tons of recipes online. Look up fat bombs or Coconut oil chocolate recipes. I did an early version of one of Hailey Pomroy’s (fromFast Metabolism Diet) that utilizes xylitol as the sweetener. Since Keto has taken off, there are sooo many more.

    One thing with cherry tomatoes. You can roast them. Put them in a jar with olive oil and basil. Will last over 6 months in the fridge for salads or whatever. Good when you're overwhelmed with garden cherry tomatoes. One plant depending on variety will produce hundreds like sweet million.

    I wondered what your price books were really like, until I watched this. The way you do it, really makes a lot of sense.. Watching you do this really helps make sense of the book. Which is an excellent idea. Thank You Tawra and Mike, for showing how, to use the book right.
    Now Being in Alberta Canada, all I have to do is figure out how, I can buy one of these, and all 3 of your recipe books. Especially your Gluten Free Book. I just don't know anybody in the USA, That I could get to order them for me. It's too bad, because you sure would sell a lot more books, if you could sell out of country. But I can always try and make one of the grocery price books myself. Because knowing roughly, when they have these sales all the time would really help. Thanks Again. Hope Jill is Well.

    Where the cheese is concerned I also found out the Parmesan, because it’s not considered a hard cheese, does not contribute to migraines which is great news. I tried these Thanksgiving sales at Aldi and Walmart the past few weeks and I have to tell you I’m highly disappointed. They have a sale on a few items very few and not everything that’s on your dinner menu. I got my limit of butter at Aldi which was 2.99 a pound and I got six and I bought a few other things but other than that the prices at Aldi were actually higher than Walmart. So the good thing is my son is going to make the turkey this year so I only have to do the sides and desert. I can save my turkey for Christmas or any other time during the year.
