Easy Does It Guacamole
Lately I’m seeing a lot of advertisements for things with guacamole slathered all over them. Usually it’s around lunch time when I notice this, and usually my lunch has no resemblance to the awesomeness I see being advertised.

In Season: Garlic Scapes
There are many reasons to grow garlic, and garlic scapes are one of them! These are the serpentine-like stems that grow from the tops of hard-neck garlic varieties. Soft neck varieties don’t get them. I had never grown garlic until two years ago, when my Korean mother in law gave me some “Korean garlic”, which…
Shoot for the Moon
Where are we going with Frugal Moms²? We’ve been back up for three months, and lately I feel like I’m bombarding people with recipes and garden stuff. That’s tons of fun, and I want to continue to have some of that. But it’s really not the primary focus here. Am I shooting for the moon, or for…
