What Can I Get From a CSA?
June 5, 2013 By 1 Comment
Summer is here, and fresh and delicious produce are in abundance! It’s the time of year when I start buying huge amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables and preserve them for eating throughout the rest of the year. My freezer, dehydrator, and canning equipment are working overtime. Today I received 15 pounds of cosmetically challenged (they look perfect to me!) peaches. I’ll order more each week until they are out of season again. Soon I’ll be getting 50 pounds or {Read More}
30 Second Non-Toxic Laundry Soap
May 15, 2013 By 8 Comments
Remember this post from last year with my recipe from concentrated laundry soap? Well, I’ve been using it with success up until yesterday when my most recent batch ran out. It was late at night and I was tired and not at all interested in whipping up a new batch in order to start another load of laundry. So, I decided to reformulate my recipe. And by reformulate what I really mean is skip the part of the original recipe {Read More}

How to Make Vanilla Extract
May 7, 2013 By 1 Comment
Have you ever made your own vanilla extract? It is really, really easy and requires only two ingredients. You’ll spend a bit more money up front to make it, but it ends up being a lot less expensive in the long run. If you’re like me and bake a lot this is something you’ll definitely want to make. I also like to make my own extracts because (like everything else I make from scratch) it is important to me to {Read More}

7 Uses for Citrus Peels
May 2, 2013 By 1 Comment
If you “like” me on Facebook, you know how much I adore our CSA. I mean, what’s not to like? Every Wednesday when I come back home from running carpool and errands, I’m greeted by a giant box of fresh produce + whatever lovely add-ons I’ve chosen for the week. Black beans? Check. Grass-fed beef? Check. 25 pounds of oranges? Don’t mind if I do. I think it’s pretty much immoral to live in SoCal and not take advantage of {Read More}
Grain-free Chicken Tenders
May 1, 2013 By 2 Comments
It’s been a loooooong time since any of my kids have eaten chicken tenders. It’s virtually impossible to find pre-made chicken tenders that have normal ingredients I’d actually feed my kids, let alone a gluten-free version. It’s been so long, in fact, that I had completely forgotten chicken tenders are a thing. That is, until a few days ago when my 3 year-old saw a classmate eating some at school and came home and asked for some. He meant it {Read More}
