Urban Farming
My husband and I have watched too many documentaries to not want to eat organic. We played the Whole Foods game for a few months but it was destroying our budget. I am super frugal and couldn’t bear to keep that up for long. So we decided to try our hand at urban farming. We [...]
Non-Plastic Banana Storage
I sent my husband to the grocery store today with all three kids. Call me evil but I was secretly rejoicing in the fact that I knew he would have an awful shopping experience! Let’s face it; shopping with all the kids is never fun. They press buttons and lose the total on your calculator, [...]
Picking Strawberries
Wouldn’t you love to have a year’s supply of strawberries in your freezer, waiting for smoothies, dehydrated fruit roll-ups, and more? I answered yes to that question. A few weeks ago my friend and I decided on a whim to go strawberry picking. There is nothing like eating fresh juicy strawberries that you have picked [...]
Blueberry Kale Smoothie
My husband totally rocked in the kitchen this weekend. On Sunday he stayed home with our grumpy daughter who needed a nap while I went to church with our son. Part of the deal was that he would make lunch. He still [...]
Whole Foods- Shopping Smart
Let’s face it when we think of Whole Foods we think EXPENSIVE. For our family, we shop there because it has many of the rare allergy friendly items we buy for our son. We also shop at Whole Foods because of the vast amount of organic/ non-GMO options. Over the years I have discovered ways [...]
Food Matters- Review
This documentary is a must see! You’ll spend most of the viewing with your mouth open in shock. In a nutshell… no one has to suffer from chronic disease if they can put the right fuel in their bodies. I’m sure I’m not the only one looking fearfully at a family tree full of heart [...]
Jason’s Deli Review
As a mom of a child with food allergies I find it challenging to make a meal that everyone will like at home, so finding a restaurant that will cater to everyone’s dietary needs is near impossible. We have found through research [...]
Garden = Cheap Organics
I by no means claim to be an expert on gardening. I feel strongly, however, that everyone could benefit from growing some of their own food. We’ve been trying to eat as much organic food as possible the past few months. But it’s KILLING my budget. I used to shop at ALDI, feeding all of [...]
Spring Vegetable Garden
This is the first season for our “full service” garden. Full service meaning starting our seedlings inside under grow lights inside and transplanting them to raised beds outside. Our hope, with the new design my husband created, is to have a four seasons [...]
Irrigation for Raised Bed Gardening
This past summer my husband and I built raised beds in an effort to eat more organic, local veggies (I mean how much more local can you get than your backyard?). The first step was creating the frames for the beds, second step was the soil (more on that in another post), and the last [...]
