  • A Simple Change = Saved $$! (Frugal Friday)

    Are you interested in a simple change that will help you save your $$, and produce less paper waste? Use washrags and small towels instead of paper towels. I promised it was simple. After you use them, toss the rags into your normal laundry load. Your rags don’t have to be fancy – I use prefold cloth diapers (that weren’t used on the baby) and those have worked wonderfully! You could use cut-up old t-shirts or even scraps from old bath towels. I’m thrilled to be able to save a little more of my grocery/household budget money just by skipping the paper towels. At around $6/pack, I buy about a…

  • Blueberry Scones (Tasty Tuesday)

    Blueberry Scone Deliciousness I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE blueberry scones. Apparently my little guy does too.  We made a batch this morning and he devoured them.  When I asked him if we should share them, he said no!   Once I clarified that I meant the recipe and not the scones themselves, he was all for it. He’s working on learning how to share… learning to share food is something I’m still working on! These scones came out soft and delicious – no hard bricks here!  (unlike the last recipe I tried…) Blueberry Streusel Scones: 2 c all-purpose flour (Substitute your favorite type here) 1/3 c organic sugar (Substitute your favorite…

  • Making the Hard Food Choices

    Choosing to eat healthy can be hard.  That’s why we call it CHOOSING. I could choose to eat the junk food I used to love, or I could choose to eat something that will actually nourish my body. For me, the two hardest things to let go of were Oreo cookies and Cokes.  The Oreos went about a year ago… after tasting cookies made from higher quality ingredients and realizing what is IN the Oreos, they were easy to let go. Cokes were harder.  Much harder.  Even though I knew how bad all the sugar was for me, and how it really was rotting my bones just like my mom told…

  • Preventing Illness – The Mighty Sambucus

    Hold on to your hats. Are you ready for this? I want to introduce you to Sambucus.  This little berry packs a mighty punch.  A complete cure for the H1N1 flu strain was found within 2-3 days for 90% of the group given Sambucus.   The Journal of International Medical Research reported that 93% of the patients given Sambucus for influenza strains A & B were symptom-free within 2 days. How does this baby work?  It actually stops virus replication in its tracks. Sambucus has also been shown to have an immunoprotective effect when given to cancer or AIDS patients. Rather than wait for the flu or some other nasty…
