As a newlywed and even as a young mom, I was so disorganized and often ran out of things or did not have all of the items I needed to prepare a recipe. First of all, I had to learn to plan...and then I had to learn to buy extra. My mother-in-law, my friend Ann, Brenda ("your" Brenda)...all have had a part in inspiring me to build my pantry.

I don't do that, but I do put up vegetables and fruits, and keep a good stock of meat in the freezer. I purchase it when it's on sale. Since Christmas I've been whittling it all down, and it does take some time. <br />Those brownies do look scrumptious!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-11262834490657667802016-02-22T16:41:57.795-05:002016-02-22T16:41:57.795-05:00Oops!

We always had a garden when I was growing up but just didn't have the appreciation for fresh produce back then...I could just kick myself! I LOVE my veggies now and enjoy the fresh produce from my son's garden. It's just a smart way to live. Those look like some killer brownies!Debby Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499542865677173703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-15929127181132445832016-02-22T12:10:18.898-05:002016-02-22T12:10:18.898-05:00Those brownies look so wonderful.
