Rotation Diet Menu Plan Week of 6/18-6/24/2012 {Kitchen Inventory and Grocery Receipts}
This week’s menu plan was created with a wing and a prayer, because my budget was stretched to the limit and beyond with Katie’s birthday party and our winter CSA share. Now that I avoid dumping everything on a credit card, I am much more aware of how much money we really have. When it’s gone, it […]
It’s A REAL FOOD Birthday (and a truly grain-free cake)!
And the moment you’ve all been waiting for…
Rotation Diet Menu Plan Week of 6/18-6/24/2012
This week’s menu plan is brought to you by zombie mama. I am TIRED. With 3 days of birthday celebrations and all of the prep work that preceded it, I could use a bit of a spa day. Yeah, that’ll happen. I tried to squeeze our food budget tight, tight, tight this week due to extra […]
Bedtime Yoga Routine for Amazing Sleep
A good night sleep is essential to a well-grounded productive day. It resets your body processes and restores body and mind. Practicing a short – or extended – yoga routine specifically designed to relax your nervous system and calm your energies is the perfect way to transition out of the rush and exhaustion of the […]
Carpet Cleaning (non-toxic, allergy-friendly, and frugal)

They are never part of the main meals. Our grocery […]
Today’s Freshly-Pressed Juice
There is always some curiosity when I talk about freshly-pressed juices. We don’t drink store-bought juices that are pasteurized and devoid of enzymes and most of the original nutrients. We use the Mini Green, a twin-gear juicer, and make our own. I make each juice to order and we have one almost every day during the warmer […]
Can’t Get Them To Eat Their Veggies? Try It 3 Ways!
No more yuck face! I recently had a conversation with another real foodie on how to get reluctant family members to at least try their veggies. That sparked an idea. Real foodies tend to spend A LOT of time in the kitchen. When you prepare each meal from scratch, you kinda want people to eat […]
Chili, French Fries, and Some Recipes
Today is a comfort food kind of day. It’s Monday. It’s cold. It’s gloomy. It’s a perfect day for a big pot of Primal/GAPS chili and some crispy french fries. Chili at the witch doctor’s house is a two day process. I started this batch yesterday, so today it’s been simmering in my favorite dutch […]
