Hearth & Soul Hop

Welcome to another Hearth and Soul Hop, the recipe exchange for and about food that not only nourishes our bodies, but our souls!  You can find me sharing links to entries on my Pinterest Boards.

Next week, the Hearth and Soul Hop will not be open as the 25th is Christmas day. The week after that we will open a day early, on January 31 at 4:00 am EST.

This week I am highlighting fun and festive ideas that I discovered visiting last week’s contributors to the Hearth and Soul Hop:

    Awesome seasonal features! Thank you for hosting.
    I saw something recently (probably on Pinterest) that made me think of you–Death Star ice cube molds!

    Thanks for featuring me! The edible fruit tree looks fabulous! I should do that for the kids for Christmas morning just to surprise them.

    Enjoy your holiday break!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
