I’m psyched to be hosting Finer Things Friday for Amy at The Finer Things in Life as she is at the Blissdom blogging conference, of which I am insanely jealous. But I digress. If it’s your first time here, welcome to Kitchen Stewardship! I’ve been teasing my readers about my homemade cracker recipe for weeks [...]

A Gathering of Homemade Dressings
February 2nd, 2010 · 14 Comments · Do It Yourself, recipes
I never thought homemade dressings would be something I would do, but when I gave up all white and corn sugars last year for Lent, I tried some out of necessity. I love yellow mustard, but I got sick of having it on my salads all the time, plus I knew I needed some healthy [...]
Simple, Frugal Homemade Gifts for Kids: Books on CD, Playdough Kits, Bathtime Fun

I believe in the simplicity and thoughtfulness of homemade gifts, especially for young ones. In fact, I truly believe we need to pray for a return to a greater appreciation of simple times and simple toys. (See my food gift ideas too.) I’ve had a lot of fun creating homemade gift ideas for all the [...]

There are so many reasons I’m trying to get away from processed foods for my family. Nutrition, cost, packaging, additives, trans fats, MSGs, high fructose corn syrup, overdone advertising, and food contamination threats come immediately to mind, but I’m sure there are more. !! How about you?

Making your own tortillas might sound like a whole lot of hassle when you can just buy a bag of them at any grocery store. I’ve decided it’s worth it for me.
