No matter what part of the country you live in, it’s right about now that people start itching to get outside and start entertaining! If you’re in a cold spot, you’re probably soaking in the sun while also wearing a scarf, and if you’re a lucky one who lives in a place that’s eternally warm, you’re just laughing at us …
Question: What do you do when it’s an hour before dinner, you have nothing planned, you haven’t gone grocery shopping yet, and the baby is about to wake up any minute (which will inevitably coincide with the 4 year old’s meltdown over the lack of cookies or something equally important)? Answer: Do not, I repeat…do not…resort to take out! Instead, …
Well folks, it’s fall and if you’re not talking about pumpkin spice everything, then you must be suffering from the first round of bugs making their way around this time of year. September in my area is when kids go back to school. It is perfectly planned to fall at the same time as the chill hits the air…and the boogers …
As you may remember, I’ve been working on a new ketchup, but I am still not quite happy with it (I’ll keep you posted). Meanwhile, I’ve also been working on a BBQ sauce. BTW…did you see my ketchup post? Well, unfortunately almost all sauces you find at the store are just the same as what you’ll find with ketchup (bottles …
Weekends are made for relaxation. Rejuvenation. Late nights and lazy mornings. Big, hot mugs of coffee and long, drawn out breakfasts. This isn’t just about leisure. This is about what is essential to making the upcoming, possible. Monday. Ugh. Just the word leaves you with a chill, doesn’t it? Lucky for us, we’re given the amazing gift of Saturdays. But …
I’m a Michigan girl, born and raised (er, actually I was born in Texas but we moved back to Michigan when I was 14 months old so I don’t really count that). If you’re familiar with Michiganders at all, you know that we refer to any weekend retreat as “up north”, whether it’s north of us or not. One of …
 I was so excited to receive some amazing products from NOW Foods as part of this campaign, and my first post since starting work with Scratch Mommy as the e-magazine Editor-In-Chief! It was fun to develop a recipe to share with our lovely readers. My husband and I *really* enjoyed this Quinoa Burger recipe and I hope you do, too. …
Some days, you just need to cleanse. Detox. Reboot. But when you’re like me and a total food lover, you know you’d never last on a juice cleanse. (Especially now that this food lover is pregnant…and boy, oh boy, does this baby love to eat!) So needless to say, cleansing in the traditional way is out of the question. But …
Mineral, collagen, and gelatin-rich bone broth is catching on. Its health benefits are irrefutable; and the gentle nutrition it provides is now being recommended by health practitioners in every field. My family and I own three gut-healing cafes and bone broth is our specialty. From Paleo customers to cancer patients, our quarts of frozen bone broth are in high demand. …
I drive a lot for work so I am a big fan of audio books. Currently listening to “The End of Overeating” in the car. In the book the author, David Kessler, shares his research on how our brains have been hardwired to crave food full of fat, sugar, and salt. Recently, I heard David read that we also are …
