This is a {guest post} series from Tiffany of Don’t Waste the Crumbs. Catch all the previous baby steps HERE. Prior to June 2012, my family consumed an average of one pound of butter per week. We had never heard of coconut oil or tallow, and I wouldn’t have touched lard with a ten-foot pole. [...]

This is a {guest post} series from Tiffany of Don’t Waste the Crumbs. January is a one-of-a-kind month.
