Thursday, January 20, 2011 Extreme Couponing - How Extreme Would You go to save money?

Extreme Couponing is all the rage, and I watched the TLC show with great interest. Who wouldn't be impressed by someone who could get over $1000 worth of groceries for under $20!?!

But, the extreme WORK and DEDICATION to this were also obvious. And it seems downright stressful.

So, what do YOU think? How extreme is your couponing? Would you be willing to put in more time and energy to research and collect coupons in order to save the big bucks?

Personally...I think I'm somewhere in the middle. I like using coupons when there are already good sales on, so the overall price is very low. But, as for carts and carts of products...well, I just couldn't be bothered! ;)

Tuesday, January 11, 2011 Easy Healthy Mixed Berry Sauce/Compote

Making a simple, delicious and healthy berry sauce is only a few minutes away - thanks to the microwave! I make this sauce all the time, and it's one of the easiest 'recipes' you'll ever find. Use this delicious blend to top ice cream, yogurt, pancakes or waffles.

Easy Healthy Mixed Berry Sauce
  • About 2 cups of frozen mixed berries (The kind I get usually contains strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries)
  • About 2 teaspoons of honey (more or less to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a microwave safe container (I use a Pyrex measuring cup), pour in the mixed berries. Add a healthy squirt of natural honey, and mix. Microwave for 2-4 minutes, until the berries are warmed through. Add the vanilla extract and stir.
