It was my goal last year to learn to make more fermented foods, and although I did sauerkraut and homemade kimchi a couple times, I wasn’t very good at doing it regularly. I did learn that my two older kids and husband won’t really eat fermented vegetables, although we all gave it the good old [...]

Do You Really Need a High-Powered Blender at All? {REVIEW part 3 of 3}
December 20th, 2012 · 39 Comments · What to Buy
I keep saying I’ll get to this question and then never do. It’s a lot like when one of my kids wants my attention and I say, “Just a minute, I’m in the kitchen.” I’m sure they feel like I never get around to coming out of there, either! To recap, I started exploring the [...]

Is a Blendtec Worth Over $500? {REVIEW, part one}
December 6th, 2012 · 72 Comments · What to Buy

As I was working on the Monday Mission about safer toothpaste, I realized that telling you about the various natural toothpaste options I’ve tried needed to be a post in itself.

Einkorn Everything and Amazing Tomatoes in Glass Jars {GIVEAWAY-NOW CLOSED}

“Did your Grandma try some of those 5,000-year-old brownies?” my Papa asked when we visited last week. Understandably, Grandma was perplexed and a bit ruffled by the thought of brownies that old, and couldn’t understand why my grandfather wanted her to try them! When I shared my einkorn brownie with Papa, it gave me a [...]

I’ve been waylaid a bit this week…if you use Firefox, you’ve been getting a nasty red and black "ATTACK PAGE" warning when trying to visit certain parts of KS. I was hacked, and badly! When I’m sure it’s fixed for good, I’ll write a little about the process so you all know we’re in the [...]
