Tender Yogurt Spice Chicken
This looks wonderful but I have never heard of Garam Masala; is it a hot spice? I will be looking for it as I would like to give this recipe a try.
Tae (Orange Tabby)
There is something very special about orange tabbies! I have had several and they have all been such great friends. He is a beautiful boy, and you are lucky to have one another.
Creo (Long Hair Black Cat)
Creo is so handsome! I am glad to read that you stood your ground! When an animal chooses you like that, there is going to be a very special bond.
Blueberry and Almond Oat Muffins
Thanks for sharing. I am always looking for healthier recipes, and I LOVE blueberries!
Momma with Calvin & Hobbs
You are an awesome person! I wish you had reported that evil person who threw her out of the car; they should be arrested for animal cruelty! I have 7 cats all who came to me hungry, sick, and homeless. Many times people dump animals here in the country. So...
Checkers (Domestic Shorthair)
Checkers is a beauty! He reminds me of a feral-turned-great-companion that we had named Bob! Unfortunately we lost Bob to cancer, but he was the best cat!

Corn Toaster Cakes
Thank you for the recipe! I love these, and you are correct; they can be difficult to find. There was a bakery in Cleveland called Hough Bakery that always had them but they closed long ago.
In Memory of Boo (Mixed Breed)
So sorry for your loss. You gave him a very good life and a lot of love. Your memories and love are forever.
Lids, Lids, Glorious Lids!
Also, many of the plastic jar lids fit onto mason canning jars to use when storing your home canned pickles, applesauce, beets, etc. in the fridge. Mayo lids work really well for re-use.
In Memory of Chickie (Chihuahua)
So sorry for your loss. You gave that sweet little dog a loving and happy life.
Butt Paste for Cracked Hands
Thanks for the tip! I am going to try Butt Paste. I have tried so many different products with little result. Working Hands is about the best so far, and it doesn't prevent the deep painful cracks that occur near my nails.
In Memory of Lacy (Black Labrador Retriever)
Aw, thank you. We are so blessed to have such loving dogs!
Homemade Mouthwash
Thank you for sharing! Not only cost-effective, but without alcohol or any nasty chemical ingredients so I am sure much healthier.

Thank you for sharing. This sounds and looks delicious. I cannot wait to try it! :-)

This seems like a really interesting recipe. I am going to give it a try for sure! Thank you for sharing. What type of seasonings do you use? I am unfamiliar with the packet in the photo. Thank you again!
Easy Ricotta Pancakes
Thank you for the recipe. Ill try it this Sunday. Wondering if you have ever tried using lower fat ricotta, and if that might work. Always interested in saving a few calories, but dont want to sacrifice taste.
Repairing Cat Scratched Couch
Wow, good job! Your sofa looks awesome, and you sure saved yourself a boat-load of money! I have several pieces that are worn + cat toys. I bought a large painting tarp that I am going to attempt as a cover for a leather recliner. I have nothing to lose but...
Custard Layer Cake
This looks really good. Do I need to use regular whole milk, or may I use almond milk? Thank you for sharing.
Vinegar to Freshen up a Musty Room
I use white vinegar in the laundry, in the bathtub, to wash my floors, and to wash fresh fruit! Using it to remove kitchen oder is a great idea. I keep several bowls in the basement by the cat litter boxes.

I cannot wait to try this. Healthy, quick, AND tasty! Thank you for sharing.

Adjusting to a New Life
So very sorry for your loss. Please know that you, my Thrifty Fun Friend, are in my prayers. Change can be tough, especially trying to learn new habits. Although my boys have been on their own now for almost 20 years, once in a while I still slip and prepare...
Liquid Dishwasher Detergent
I will give this recipe a try as I am always interested in using less harsh chemicals in all of my cleaning. Do you find it cuts through grease like Dawn does? Just curious. Thanks, MB

What a sweet dog! And you are so sweet to have rescued her! :-)
Three Layer Coconut-Pineapple Cake
Looks very pretty and yummy! This is one I will try. Thank you for sharing! :)
Individual Pumpkin Bundt Cakes
This looks like a good recipe, but I wonder if I might cut the sugar in half? With the sweetness of the fruit it should be fine but would it affect the consistency? Thanks
No-Blow Picnic Tablecloth
This is a really great tip and thank you for posting. I will be looking for fitted sheets at the thrift stores from now on! :)

This sounds healthy and delish! I am also wondering pan size. Maybe an 8 x 8 ? I am going to try this this weekend. I will post results.

I have put several drops of peppermint oil in my cat house, and it seems to repel flies. It does need to be refreshed every few days. I have read that lavender works as well although I have not tried it. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your very creative and delicious sounding recipe! I cannot wait to try it as I, too, love coconut! And a bonus is that it is so healthy for us, as well! :-)
Grandchildren Ungrateful for Gifts?
Thanks so much for the Charity idea! This solves our problem, too. We cannot afford to send the grand kids the expensive electronic gifts they want these days. And since they are, unfortunately, lacking in manners perhaps this will nudge them to remember there...
Bells For Christmas Tree Defense From Cats
We tried the bells several years ago. Unfortunately, all it did was alert me (in the middle of the night) as to whenever the cats were up to their hi-jinx. A lot of angels got their wings that year. :)
Check the Ounces on Canned Food
The Folgers cans have gotten progressively smaller over just one year! They went from 32, to 30 and now to 28 ounces! For the same or even a higher price! Also the Miracle Whip jar shrunk by 2 ounces. I may have not noticed these changes, but I save the containers...
Bleux (Shelter Dog)
Thanks for sharing your story! We love our large black lab! Were not sure who rescued who! Lacy has brought so much love. Her heart is bigger than her 100 pounds!
Homemade Suet for Backyard Birds
I make suet every year. A couple of things I have found to make your experience easier. One is that I cook the fat down outside using the burner on my gas grill. I have also set up a double boiler using my turkey fryer. The fat doesnt smell all that great and...
Toilet Brush For Scrubbing Tub
Genius :-) That is a wonderful idea! I have wasted money on fancy long handled scrubby things that dont work well, wear out quickly, and are expensive to refill. A toilet brush is only 1.00 at the dollar store. Thanks for sharing!
Scarecrow Candle Holders
Very clever idea that I have not seen before! You are very talented! You did a beautiful job. These would be clever hostess gifts or prizes for a Fall shower or party. Thanks!
Exploding Glass Bowls
This happened to me recently, too. I had small blue condiment bowls. I purchased them a few years ago from the Kitchen Collection store. One shattered into hundreds of tiny pieces. It was sitting on the counter and blew all over the kitchen. It was late in...
Cleaning a Dirty Dryer Lint Tray
Great idea. Those screens are such a bugger to clean. I will have to try this. Thanks :)
Cleaning Glass Fireplace Doors?
There is a special cleaner made for this that I use. First I spray and wipe with wadded up newspaper until the bulk of the soot is gone. Then I spray again and wipe with paper towels. If you cannot find the cleaner at the hardware store, you could try white...
Cumin and Mint For Indigestion
I will give this a try. I often use mint, but never with cumin. Thanks.
Coexisting with Raccoons
Thanks for putting the word out with some common sense advice. Too many people are just willing to shoot these creatures over some bird seed or a spilled over garbage can.
Getting Rid of Moths Without Pesticides?
Ive put sticks of spearmint chewing gum in all of my food cabinets and so far, no problem with moths. I was getting them with cat food for a while, but the gum seems to keep them away. You should replace the gum with a fresh stick every 3 months or so. Good...

You can dust with Seven powder however if you are trying to garden organically and dont have time to hand pick the bugs off your plants everyday, you can try mixing 2 Tablespoons of red-pepper powder and 6 drops of liquid soap in 1 gallon of water. Let mixture...
Weigh Down Water Bowl
I got a large low heavy bowl and my one knucklehead cat still pulls it around. I have to be careful not to overfill it as he sloshes the water all over! Cats are just goofy! Guess thats why we enjoy them so much. :-)
Be an Encourager
Thank you for the post. You never know what a kind smile or small gesture can mean to someone who is sad or down. I know it makes a difference to me.
Whirlpool Frontload Washer Does Not Dispense Softener or Bleach?
I have an LG and had the same problem. My washer was out of level enough that it tipped back and wouldnt drain the dispensers out. Perhaps you could check this. Doesnt seem like it should be a plumbing problem as the washers plumbing is internal. Have you gone...
Substituting Spaghetti Sauce for Pizza Sauce?
A tasty and cheap alternative is to use a small can (6 oz) of tomato paste, add 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 1/2 cups water, 1/2 Tablespoon oregano, 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 Tablespoon basil, 1/2 teaspoon rosemary. You dont even have to cook it, although I usually warm...
Use Jars To Mix Dressing and Sauces
Thanks for the memory you just brought of my Grandmother doing this. She would mix the ingredients for homemade salad dressings in an old mayo jar. You also reminded me that I should be doing this, too!
Feeding Baltimore Orioles?
Both Baltimore orioles and orchard orioles will eat the same sugar mix as the hummingbirds. I buy simple feeders as they are the easiest to clean and keep, and all of the birds in my yard happily share them. You just need to put out several to allow for as...
Wildlife: Tree Frog
They must love grills because they always hang out on mine, too! How funny. Maybe they are waiting for supper! Thanks for sharing. :-)

I am going to steal this for a wedding I am attending this summer! Thanks!
Garden: Daffodil in Early Spring (Ohio)
I have had the best luck with Brecks bulbs. They perform much better than those I have purchased from the department stores. Good luck.
