Welcome to Poor Girls Pantry

How many of us wander into the kitchen often repeatedly opening the refrigerator and pantry doors hoping for ingredients to magically appear only to continually discover the same meager findings? Life often hands us circumstances that test our character and stretch our budgets. Posessing an ounce of creativity and a smidgin of sensibility makes all the difference in the world when desperately digging for new and interesting ways to disguise and decorate ground beef.

I recall incrediously the many times my mother magically materialized mouthwatering meals from meager findings for five children on a modest budget. I recently found myself tapping into her talented techniqure uncovering a treasure that I had not realized I posessed. Instead of pondering the potential for something more, I began to find quality in the questionable. These modest times had inadvertenly taught me to be incredibly resourceful and I embraced my unique ability to make something out of nothing. So, giving tribute to a remarkable Mother who taught me to see beyond the subltle, let us embarq on a journey together as I ponder my peculiar gift and open a passage into the poor girls pantry.

Life, Love, Laughter

January 23, 2010  Random Thoughts.........


LIFE has taught me many valuable lessons about myself and through these lessons I am able to stand firmly in the knowledge of what I can live with and let go of what I cannot.

LOVE comes in many forms. We all seek its sustenance even though it is alluring yet abominable, immeasurably awe-inspiring yet curiously confounding, exhilarating yet exhausting while all the while suprisingly soulfully sustaining.


LAUGHTER...without it my soul would be an empty shell because without laughter, the first two would be unbearablely difficult to endure! :)
