Homemade, Natural, Organic Deodorant
What do you do if you have a smelly, stinky, uh well… pretty much offensive BO and it’s your own hubby?!?!?! Prior to getting married many of dear hubby’s friends warned me and said they couldn’t understand how I was going to put up with it! 😉 Continue reading “Homemade, Natural, Organic Deodorant”
Very Unhealthy but Delicious Birthday Treats!
These little treats were so much fun to make and turned out so great! They were so easy that anyone can do it as long as you are willing to put in the time. It did take quite a bit of time, but it was well worth the effort. Continue reading “Very Unhealthy but Delicious Birthday Treats!”
Plantain Remedy
Plantain herb is usually found in most yards, but can be hard to find if you live in a neighborhood because of all the pesticides sprayed on the grass. This plant is GREAT for all kinds of natural remedies! Recently I made a tincture with plantain for my hubby. He gets poison ivy a lot because of the type of work he does and it often spreads and really is uncomfortable to him. He also gets it very easily. After hearing about this remedy from the Bulk Herb Store I decided to try it myself and it works great! It also feels nice and cool putting it on. Continue reading “Plantain Remedy”
Simple Soy Sauce Salmon
I’m all about simple and delicious these days! This recipe does take a little bit of prep work and a few steps, but it can be prepped ahead of time or during kid’s afternoon naps! This is so delish it is making my mouth water as I sit here typing about it. I’ve already made my meal plans for this week, but I might have to change them so we can have this again!
Until this year we haven’t eaten much fish because I just haven’t really known how to cook it. We didn’t eat it much growing up and I guess I’ve just learned to cook like my Mom… and have ventured out from there! She certainly gave me a good start in healthy, wholesome, cheap cooking!

The Power of the Clothesline
What better smell is there than clothing dried outside on the line! The spring summer and fall is some of my favorite times of year and part of that is due to the fact that I can now hang laundry on the line! There are so many benefits! The smell, the time with the quiet, forced time to go outside, little ones who want to help, training children to learn to work, and the satisfaction of saving money while getting additional blessing!

Venison Vindaloo
What an AWESOME dish! I just love Indian food and so does Brian. I have taken two trips to India for medical missions and the food always amazes me. It is so full of flavor, a little bit spicy and with some sort of meat, but you really weren’t sure what it was. We were always told it was chicken, but sometimes I swore the rabbit cages had one less rabbit, or maybe one less stray dog today?! Not really sure… Continue reading “Venison Vindaloo”
Lacto-Fermented Foods
I’m relatively new to lacto-fermenting, but I’m enthralled and sold all at the same time! Our ancesters of the past fermented many types of food to help with preservation, but little did they know that the health benefits were many! The more I learn about fermenting the more I’m convinced that it will benefit me and my family! Continue reading “Lacto-Fermented Foods”

The Jew Store
By, Stella Suberman
I guess that not every book can be a fantastic read! Of course I had to finish it. I just can’t stop a book in the middle unless it is absolutely terrible. So, I read to the end and it was interesting as far as an autobiography goes, but wasn’t captivating. I didn’t enjoy the style of penmanship very much either. Maybe it was just a little harder to read than what I’m used to or maybe it was something else, but I had a hard time making time to sit down and read it. Continue reading “The Jew Store”
