Please visit The Nourishing Gourmet today for Pennywise Platter Thursday and lots of good frugal, nourishing ideas.  If you’re coming from there, I’m linking up this week’s Monday Mission on Upgrading your Condiments (easy steps to better nutrition), but you may also be interested in 5 Ways to Stretch your Real Maple Syrup and the new initiative Analyzing Aluminum in August.

I’m also running a few giveaways this week (happy birthday to me!) for natural personal products and a nursing bracelet.  Thanks for dropping by!

Tammy’s Recipes has a few good cauliflower recipes here if you’re looking for ideas for garden produce, including my creamed cauliflower – a great no-carb substitute for mashed potatoes.

Life as MOM is hosting a slow cooker recipe swap today, where you can find my Slow Cooker Beef and Bean Stew a la Tuscany and many more.
