I've been slowly trying to do that, but due to crazy work schedules, some just things just aren't possible. <br /><br />However, that being said, you really should try roasting your own coffee. It's super easy and much less expensive than buying store bought... not to mention that it tastes sooooooo much better! <br /><br />You can buy green coffee beans that last for months, even years, and roast them at your convenience. It's my husband's new pet project. He gets a sampler pack from Sweet Maria's and roasts a little bit at a time. It's the first time I've enjoyed coffee without sweeteners (outside of Europe). I totally recommend it!! Look up Sweet Maria's!kathleen // scout + lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08031785844078458559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053233671037217868.post-47434670430184925692010-08-19T12:06:25.193-07:002010-08-19T12:06:25.193-07:00Oh, good call to get that book on my ipod.

I am a bit of a whimp that way! <br /><br />I have been making ricotta lately and love how easy it is (just milk and buttermilk) - for sweet things or savory. Although I think next time I am going to whip it and make it a tad lighter. Just sharing this as I feel it is something you could use in many applications in the upcoming month. <br /><br />Cheers to your adventure!!caitlindentinohttp://caitlindentino.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053233671037217868.post-54027157494399476852010-08-17T14:06:29.576-07:002010-08-17T14:06:29.576-07:00Such a great, great idea!

Which means we eat out less and we need fewer foods from the store. Cheese + bread + beer have been our only purchases lately. <br /><br />Um, could not give up the cheese or the beer, ever. But I'd be willing to put in the extra work and give up the bread in favor of making my own. I can do it, I just get lazy.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211797571405802312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5053233671037217868.post-59466715550092509132010-08-17T10:53:53.177-07:002010-08-17T10:53:53.177-07:00Love that you're doing this!
