Edible Pumpkin Playdough

1 cup canned pumpkin

2 oz. honey

2 cups flour (I used more like 3-4)

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

orange food coloring (optional)

Mix together pumpkin puree and honey.  Add flour, powdered milk, and spice.  Knead together until well combined.

STORE IN FRIDGE FOR 2-3 HOURS BEFORE USE.  This will make it PERFECT consistency. 

Store in a gallon ziplock bag in the fridge for a week or two 🙂

Small ways to eat healthier and save money: BREAD MACHINE TUTORIAL

by Filed Under: DIY Projects, Money Saving, Online Deals, Recipes

It’s fall, so a bread-themed post is more than appropriate and probably long overdue.

I’ve wanted to share a bit about our breadmaker.  I’ve talked about it in passing in numerous vlogs, and I’ve had a fair number of comments asking to hear more about our Sunbeam.  I’ve had it on my list to make a video about for a while: how it saves us money, why it’s healthier how we store it, how we keep our bread fresh after it is made, etc… why in the name of bacon would I store such a GIANT thing in my kitchen!?!?

So cheers to carbs and how to make your bread-maker count!

Let me know your 2 cents.  Do you have a bread machine?  Do you use it?  I would love to know your favorite recipes if you do!

I use a Keurig Mini.  They are affordable, compact, and do just as good of a job.  Plus, I think the maintenance is pretty easy for them.

Here are my thoughts…

Flash back to this video where I give even more tips for saving money with a Keurig (wow…I can’t believe I made this so long ago!  The good news is all my tips are still applicable.)
