I don’t know about you, but I love making my own products…especially when I know it’s free of chemicals and is in some cases cheaper (see homemade toothpaste, broth, milk, nut butters, etc). And as much as I like to make it myself, it wasn’t until my crunchy mama friend, Melanie, suggested we get together and make some homemade gifts … Continue reading
For those of you in the Paleo/Primal world, you may have heard of a guy named Mark Sisson. If you have no idea who he is, run right over to his blog, Mark’s Daily Apple, and immerse yourself in his knowledge and well-written educational posts. After going paleo over two years ago, and now having two … Continue reading
Well it looks like the Texas heat has reared its ugly head. We have been hitting the 90s lately and it’s gettin’ hot in here pretty toasty during the day. I can’t complain too much, though, since we’ve gotten a reprieve for the first half of the month with cool evenings and gorgeous sunsets. But don’t let this fool you…Texas summers can … Continue reading
Alright, alright, who’s ready to party!? This party actually took place a couple of months ago, but with the impending Valentine’s Day around the corner, I thought I could throw this out there for those of you wanting to make some sweet treats for that special someone. I really don’t care either way about this ‘holiday,’ … Continue reading
Every now and then a recipe comes along that is out of this world, and this is one of them (in my opinion). I’m not sure what I love more-the sweet potatoes, the kale, or the coconut milk…but baby, it’s good. A friend had sent this to me years ago and I have to say … Continue reading

What stemmed this post, was when I was hanging out around the Vitamix demo at Costco last week and was talking to … Continue reading
Behold the great coveted pumpkin! I swear I’m seeing a boatload of pumpkin recipes going around the world wide web these days. I have seen them blow up on Facebook and Pinterest, and I don’t normally go crazy for pumpkin, but I recently got on the bandwagon. Something about pumpkins and fall make me all fuzzy … Continue reading
Another Gluten & Allergen Expo has come and gone. See last year’s post here. This was the 3rd Expo that has taken place in Dallas, and it was another success! For those who may not have heard about it, it’s a place where vendors gather to show off their gluten and allergen free fare. There are … Continue reading
I’ve been on this kick lately, especially since reading Primal Moms Look Good Naked, with making my own broth. I would occasionally buy beef bones or hold on to the chicken carcass when I could remember, but now I have no excuse. If you saw in an earlier post, we have half of a grass-fed cow in our freezer that we split with … Continue reading
Oh man, this website deserves its own post, so here goes. Ya’ll know I get excited when talking about supporting local, but this has gone to a whole new level! While working on a post about making your own broth, I stumbled upon EatWild.com. I meant to type U.S. Wellness Meats but had a brain … Continue reading
