Baked beans are a staple of many cookouts, barbecues, and picnic events. They go well with burgers, hot dogs, brats, and more. While you can make them from scratch, many people prefer to use canned baked beans because of their convenience. Of course, the most commonly known name brand is Bush’s, which is my favorite,…
Dollar stores such as Dollar Tree and Dollar General can be good for picking up staples such as toiletries, greeting cards, or snacks. One surprising thing about these deep discounters is that they can also be great places to buy inexpensive gardening supplies such as gloves, spades, seed starting trays, fairy garden accessories, planters, and…

Crunchy, crispy foods such as chips are a satisfying snack. The main problem with traditional potato chips is that they aren’t healthy for you. While browsing the aisles at my local Dollar Tree recently, I came across some crispy red lentil- and pea-based snacks that aim to be a step above regular chips. Harvest Snaps…

A few years ago, some of my family members got interested in making fairy gardens. It started with my mom, and she then gave me a few items for my birthday one year to build my own fairy garden. Now, my children also set up their own fairy gardens each spring. Fairy gardening is a…
