Most of you know which show I am talking about. Doomsday Prepper. I couldn’t not watch. And for the most part, I was okay with the show. Except the doomsday part. I hate that term. Like I said, I was okay with the show. Until the episode that premiered Tuesday night. I know the producers are trying to make everything a little more extreme and reality TV show-ish. I follow some of the preppers shown on the show through YouTube…
To be prepared, I have four things I always like to have done. These might surprise you, but in cases of emergency and disaster they are necessary. 1. Always, always stay caught up on washing dishes.

Some days, I find it funny where my blog posts come from. I had a friend ask me how much I spend on groceries for a family that is similar in size to my own family. Then she asked me how I do it.

This recipe is from quickandsimple.com. I found it when I was looking for more recipes that used ground turkey and a crockpot. If you don’t use ground turkey, I would encourage you to try it. It is readily available in the frozen food section and is almost $2.00 a pound cheaper than ground beef. Ground turkey can also be substituted for ground beef in a lot of recipes. This recipe is also great for using items in your food storage…
