 For a while now I’ve been trying to incorporate more beans into our diet as a main protein for one meal each week and have been so happy with this navy bean soup recipe, there was no way I could resist sharing it with you. I have adapted this recipe to suit our tastes and we [...]  Homemade yogurt is a very nutritious and frugal alternative to the store bought variety. It’s also a great way to use up milk that’s close to it’s expiration date (or all those gallons you get in really great sales)! If you’re using pre-prepared yogurt as your starter, you’ll need 2 Tbsp. per quart of milk used [...]  Yum! This is my new favorite winter soup! It’s easy and so yummy! What you need:~ 1 small yellow onion, diced ~ 1 T. coconut oil~ 4 cups chicken stock (I use homemade)~ 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken (or more if you like it extra chicken-y!)~ ½ bag frozen sweet corn~ 2-3 cans Rotel (original)~ [...] Last week I gave you a general run down on how to make your own baby food and I’m wrapping up the subject this week with a cost comparison on conventional baby food vs. homemade. Keep in mind, these are prices in Colorado for mostly in-season produce (typically in-season produce is less expensive, and locally grown [...]  After 6 months, it is time for Rachael to bid adieu to mommy’s milk.

In the [...]  I have been a busy little beaver today! Since I will be having a c-section next Friday – yes folks, I’ll have THREE children in 10 short days! And to tell you the truth, I haven’t freaked out yet! Probably because I have no time to freak out and that’s probably a good thing. I’m [...] I actually made something I saw on tv…. I was watching Tyler’s Ultimate (Tyler Florence) on Food Network while the kids napped yesterday and he was making parfaits with homemade granola. The granola looked yummy that I scavenged my kitchen and it turned out I had everything needed to make this granola (with a [...]  I made homeade bread for the first time today. Well, that’s not true really, I’ve made quick breads before, but never real bread (you know the kind that actually have yeast rather than baking soda/powder and salt and you have to knead them and let them rise, etc)! The bread I made was spelt bread and [...] Ok, so it’s not as bad as I make it sound. Really, I only had 3 pieces of really bad plastic in my entire kitchen but those three pieces were all 3 of my water bottles that I take to the gym each week…… and I found no other plastics (tupperware type stuff and drinking [...]  I’m succeeding so far! I know, it’s only week 2 that I’ve been doing Menu Plan Monday but I’m really enjoying menu planning. Plus, as I mentioned in last week’s menu, it really helps the budget. I’ve recently taken the time to make a list of all of my master meals (basically any meals that [...]  |
