I know it’s cliché, but the phrase “there are starving children in ____” is repeated over and over with good intentions. There are starving children everywhere, but your momma was just trying to help teach you a lesson about being grateful for what you have. It’s impossible for some kids to appreciate food security simply because they have not experienced it; not everyone always has food waiting for them on a dinner plate like many of us do.
We’d all love to imagine that pantry pests don’t exist. Spotless grocery stores and clean, sterile kitchens in advertisements make it easy to pretend for a while. But at home, no matter how hard we try, things creep in that we’d rather not have there—especially when we’re storing natural foods that aren’t heavily processed and packaged.
The Lazy Composter / Homemade Fertilizers From Waste
Couldn’t get compost right? Try these homemade fertilizers instead…
When I was growing up my Obuelita (Grandmother) would make Bacalaitos all the time. Because codfish is very fishy, this recipe helps eliminate some of the fishiness by turning it into a delicious codfish fritter. I wasn’t always a fan of fish or seafood but Bacalaitos was something I would never turn down.
Codfish fritters are really easy to make and are pretty tasty, too.
