I’m not lying. This could quite possibly be the most delicious, easiest to make, healthiest strawberry lemonade. Ever. Apparently I’m on a lemonade roll these days. (And if you haven’t made my Rosemary Lemonade yet, what in the world are you waiting for? There’s no refined sugar and it is ohmygoodness amazing.) But seriously, what […]
What isn’t apple cider vinegar good for? For real, this stuff is probably the answer to world hunger (or maybe this is, but I don’t pretend to know for sure). In the world of natural beauty sans toxic chemicals, apple cider vinegar makes an incredible facial toner. Apple cider vinegar is naturally antiseptic and antibacterial, […]
Forget the tiny umbrella. Throw a sprig of rosemary in my lemonade and it is summertime, baby! This Rosemary Lemonade (made without any refined sugar!) is epic. Best spring or summertime drink I’ve found. I’ve become more and more a fan of the sweet and savory combination as of late. It started with these Lemon […]
What a great month on the blog! If you missed any posts from the past few weeks, you’ll definitely want to catch up. My days have been full of preparing our garden, teaching BarreAmped classes, and starting a new part time job at Vintage Remedies. I also took a vacation to Asheville, NC to see […]
It’s something I do wonder quite often. What must my neighbors think of my homesteading ways? Do they think I’m strange when I cut the front yard with my reel mower? What must they think when I hang all my laundry out on the clothesline? Do they wonder about the piles of dirt, leaves, and […]
Nope, that’s not a typo. You may not be familiar with the term reel mower, but it’s the correct name for a self-propelled mower without a motor (gas, electric, or otherwise). And no, this isn’t anything like the mowers your father and grandfather have told you horror stories about. I know you’ve heard the anecdotes […]
I ate my first orange chocolate chip muffin in New Zealand. It was made by one of our lovely hosts in Mangapai where we slept in an old boat and pooped in a long drop toilet. (But that was probably too much information for you in a post about muffins, huh?) I must have eaten […]

When I plan meals for the week, I like to have at least 2 or 3 salads on the list. I make up a big batch of each and keep them in the fridge for quick and easy lunches. Egg salad is one of my favorite salads to keep handy. It’s nice and creamy, but […]

I’m mentally preparing myself for this one. Because it’s inevitable I’ll receive at least a few heated comments on this post. But that’s the cool thing - you can say whatever you’d like in your comment, the same way I can post whatever I’d like on my blog. So just keep that in mind if […]
