Drink your (Probiotic) Vegetables {GIVEAWAY – now closed}

January 31st, 2013 · 24 Comments · What to Buy

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

Folks often save up a fund for vehicles, vacations, and home remodels. Real foodies are crazy enough to have funds saved up for kitchen tools: Dehydrators, grain mills, and high-powered blenders seem to top the list of what I like to refer to as “small appliances that cost as much as large appliances.” I have [...]

October 17th, 2012 · 38 Comments · What to Buy

It usually takes me about a month to get around to making a meal from a new review cookbook – a week while it sits in the envelope waiting for me to have time to open it. Another week or two sitting on my end table waiting for me to sit down with nothing else [...]

Do you Have a Natural Toothpaste? {REVIEWS}

September 26th, 2012 · 51 Comments · Green Living, Natural Health, 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. That post may have made you depressed about all the junk in toothpaste and in our city water, but today you can be glad [...]

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

August 23rd, 2012 · 22 Comments · What to Buy

“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 [...]

Cloth Diaper Review Update: All-in-One Individual Reviews

April 26th, 2012 · 3 Comments · Green Living

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 [...]
