If there is one thing I just LOVED to eat, that my mother would make when I was a kid, it was Chicken n’ Dumplings. There are two ways that your dumplings can turn out; light and fluffy, or dense and doughy. My dad was a big proponent of the “light and fluffy” dumpling, so […]
Thieves Oil - The Secret To Staying Alive During The Bubonic Plague
The season of germs, runny noses, congestion, and coughing is nearly knocking on our door. Since I JUST got over being sick, it occurred to me that all of those cold and flu medicines on that were in my medicine cabinet could be replaced with more natural alternatives that wouldn’t be near as destructive on […]
Make Your Own Non-Toxic Baby Wipes
I have been using the yellow microfiber cloths to wipe Syfy’s bum, but I hadn’t yet made a baby wipe solution. I had only just been wetting the cloth with water and that was it. Finally I decided I could do more with my baby wipe situation. I remembered that I had an old Pampers […]
Asian Inspired Ginger Sesame Coleslaw
I was really craving a good cold Asian salad with cabbage. I ended up deciding that I was going to make a coleslaw but dress it up with a Ginger Sesame dressing that would be to die for in this slaw! It really was delicious! I wasn’t sure at first if I was just loving […]
A Little Further Down The Rabbit Hole: Part 8
This part of the story has been a long time coming. What I have been trying to give you guys is a good background on why I needed to make the life changes that I made. I want you to see how bad it got for me and how ultimately my diet and ridding my […]
Make Your Own All Natural Dish Soap
After our dishwasher broke, we waited for a month for the maintenance crew to actually fix it. Long story short, it’s been 2 months and no one has come to fix our broken dishwasher. That’s ok! The hippy husband suggested that we wash our dishes by hand for a few months and see the difference […]
Vegetarian Hawaiian Sloppy Joes For Labor Day Deliciousness
The first time that I tried to make sloppy joe’s vegetarian style, I used tofu. I thought that I could just stir fry the tofu the way that I used to brown ground beef. That batch of “sloppy joe’s” was soooo wrong. I had no idea how to use tofu, so I hadn’t properly pressed […]
Going Green With Your Pets (They’re part of your family, so why not?)
If you are anything like me, you just love animals of all shapes and sizes. I have pretty much had every kind of pet that you can think of (except a bird as I have a fear of them thanks to Daphne Du Maurier and Alfred Hitchcock.). I have had the normal; dogs, cats, and […]
A Little Further Down The Rabbit Hole: Part 7
To think that I thought I would only be able to do this story in 2 or 3 parts…I must have been crazy to think that all of the medical issues that I have dealt with could only be described in 2 or 3 parts. That last part was quite a story though huh? It […]
There is NO Way That Lasagna Was Vegan…Just NO Way!!!
I have to say, I was not a believer. I couldn’t imagine that I could find a vegan recipe for Lasagna that was ACTUALLY a replacement. I didn’t think that there would be one that tasted SO good, I could bring it home to my mother to try. She would adore this. I am most […]
