The feeling your eight year old self got when Mom said, “Go clean your room?” The feeling you get when you pick up the kids from school and realize it’s ballet night, soccer night, and your turn to provide snacks, and you still aren’t sure what’s for dinner?
The feeling you get when 2 foundation companies concur that 23 piers not 15 are necessary to repair your house and that the bad news you thought would cost you $20,000 is really going to cost you $30,000. You know, stuff like that.
Do you want to cook healthy, affordable food at home, that your family will love but have other things to think about too?
Do mixes and frozen prepared foods sometimes fill in the gap on the table? And while the family seems to love them, they come with a side serving of guilt?
I’ve got the perfect thing for you!
First of all, no more feeling guilty for providing food that allows your family to sit down and eat together. It doesn’t matter what the food is, family dinner is a win!

Angela, I am confused. Are you saying that you are adding a second menu that contains freezer recipes in addition to the regular GSP menu? If we want that menu too we have to pay an extra 5$ a month.
Hi Lyda, This is just a one time menu, a past menu, that I’m offering for sale. Not a new subscription.
Oh I am so sorry life has kicked when you were down. Your only way is up now! Think upwards and onwards! You have already started on the journey with your Foundation sale and you may find other shelved projects that will pay off.
Try trawling for more advertisers, your readership must be massive and it’s not just in the States. Find some figures to quote to potential advertisers. You frequently mention outlets and chains that you visit and buy from, try contacting them as they cater for people like ourselves and you can provide them with direct access to their target audience. As you have said lots of little bits add up to a lot.
By the way my ‘no laundry powder’ trial is working fantastically! Maybe you can save a bit there. Let me know if you want to be kept informed of what I do with the clothes.
More power to your elbow as my Mum used to say.
Pat, I’m curious about your no laundry powder!
After our basement flooded, with a 100 year storm this past summer, everything was damaged or destroyed. We watched our “rainy day” (LOL?) fund get completely pummeled. We had only been in the house for one year, and the damage was about $40k. It was hard not to be sick! We are slowly getting it back together, but I can totally relate to the frustration and costliness of home repair. And doing it on a budget can seem impossible. Right now, we only have two sofas and a whole lot of empty space. On the bright side, my 3-year-old has never been so happy about all of the room to run, tumble, and dance. Anyway, I feel for you, Angela! I’m praying that your repair takes less time and money than you predict, and that you maintain your positive personality and your “can do” attitude through it all. Your children will certainly learn from your solid character, and you can bet they will remember this time (and how you all came through it together) forever. I feel like I know you since I’ve been following your blog and getting your menu for 18 months, and I sincerely wish the best for you all. God bless!!
Emily, Thanks for your encouragement. I’m so sorry the flood happened! It’s so frustrating when you’ve been paying home owners insurance and then when you really need it; the damage isn’t covered. Well, yay for the bright side. I know there’s still life on the other side of this, lol.
Angela, first of all, saying some prayers for you right now, currently overwhelm is my middle name, so I empathize. Have a comment that may help. The very first thing a home inspector is supposed to do when a house doesn’t have gutters is check the foundation because the very first problem a house will have without gutters is foundation problems. Sounds like he/she missed a huge one. Have you checked if you have any recourse?
Look forward to all your posts.
Hi Theresa, I wish there was something like that we could do. Here there are two types of inspectors–engineers and non-engineers. They both charge about the same. We used our realtor’s choice of inspectors which happened to be a non-engineer (these are all things we are finding out after the fact, at the time we assumed all inspectors did structural stuff.) Anyhoo, it’s done. It’s our fault for not hiring the right guy, the house was sold “as is”; we assumed the super low price was because it was ugly and had rats. The structural issues were not visible to the naked eye–so we get to pay. I’ve been smacking my forehead a lot, because hind-sight is 20/20 but we made the best choices we knew how at the time.
Love that coupon code!!
Angela,
Don’t smack yourself too hard–you make the best decisions you can at the time–you live and learn. I have learned so much from you–ESPECIALLY obedience, whenever I think something is too tough I think of your no toilet paper lol!!! You have a beautiful family and home and you will get through this!
Hi, I have now done a full cycle of washing without any liquid or powder, ‘darks’, ‘lights’, ‘mediums’, towels, sheets and underwear. It is almost unbelievable everything is clean, and smells Ok. I included some real tests – husband was cleaning lots of old inherited rusted tools with a wire brush and oil and the cat was sick on her towel bed. The jeans and sweatshirt came out at least as well as with liquid (ooooh they were baaad!), the cat towel, washed on its own, had soap suds appearing in the wash water! How much had I overused the liquid!
Any obvious greasy patches were rubbed over with a cloth dipped in a solution of washing up liquid for ‘ring around the collar’ and cuffs. Newer shirts came out great older ones as well as using liquid, hopefully they will improve with each wash.That was the only degreaser used. I hadn’t used it on the jeans and sweatshirt because I could’nt see for the rust dust!
I need to try old style stain removers and experiment with wood ash degreaser – we have a wood stove. Ruth Goodman has given some in her book, I mentioned the series previously. I will send another message with the history of why this works and the Victorian stain removel kit, also have just read my Wartime farm book ( another series) which has some tips.
I have just started a second weeks wash cycle, mashed bananas have come out of a dark corduroy skirt and food stains out of a shirt, a kitchen hand towel is as soft as new and it doesn’t hurt me so much to turn the washer on without liquid! I did put a couple of tablespoons of white distilled vinegar in the rinse cycle, good for the machine and probably accounts for the towel – we are in a very hard water area.
Sorry for so many exclamation marks I am very excited about this!
