Is this my final Craft Closet Declutter?! 🧵✨ After 4 years of decluttering this space twice a year, I finally took everything out and started from scratch. 🎯 I decluttered 64 items ( 16 empty candle jars and wax melt containers after making Franken candles 🕯️) and finally created a system that WORKS. It’s been weeks and it’s still organized 🙌 — because everything finally has a place. This is part of my 2025 decluttering challenge, and I’m almost at 250 items gone! Let’s keep going together a

In this economy, every penny counts—so let’s talk tofu. 🧄🍋✨ This high-protein tofu “ricotta” is one of my go-to spreads: creamy, flavorful, and perfect on sourdough toast or inside stuffed shells. All you need is a block of tofu, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and spices—blend it up and you’re set. 🥄💸 #TofuRecipe #RecessionMeals #BudgetCooking #MeatlessProtein #PlantBasedOnABudget #CheapEats #VeganRicotta #SustainableEating #TofuSpread #HighProteinRecipes | Maria Watkins

Homemade French toast is an easy, budget-friendly breakfast that doesn’t sacrifice flavor. Use day-old bread to soak up the custard perfectly, make a big batch, and freeze the extras for quick, crispy mornings. Just pop them in the toaster oven straight from the freezer—no thawing needed! Saving money and enjoying delicious meals, one slice at a time. #RecessionRecipes #BudgetBreakfast #HomemadeFrenchToast #FreezeAndReheat #FrugalLiving #EasyMeals #ComfortFood #MealPrepIdeas #SaveMoneyEatWell #F

November was an pretty productive month for us in food preservation!! We’re starting to bulk up our dry goods for the winter because of snow storms. I’m doing a little less canning because of the holiday season, but I have a lot of plans for December Christmas cookies!! #Cantry #Canning #Preserving #FoodPreservation #LowWaste #Sustainable #Sustainability #Eco #Ecofriendly #LowWaste #Food #Recipes #Garden | Maria Watkins
