In my continued quest for urban homesteading, foods made from scratch fit nicely into the equation. The more real, unprocessed food I can provide my family, the better Today I am sharing about some homemade hummus I am now adding to my cache of go-to snack foods. I know, I am totally behind on this as it seems everyone already …
I make a lot of potatoes in this house, in many different ways. Yesterday, I wasn’t sure what to make for my son’s lunch side dish. I opened a cabinet and Oliver (my 17 month-old) pointed at the bag of potatoes. Okay, son…potatoes you shall have!
Within the past several years I have been on a journey — a journey that includes living with intention. I evaluated my life and I wanted something better, not only for myself, but for my family.

I began my real food, #LifeFromScratch journey in middle school; the same time I stopped shaving my legs and wearing make-up.

I’ve made this one a few times with a few changes each time and I think that I finally have it down. These cute little loaves never stay around for very long in my house. This tasty treat allows my family to get in our sweet fixes though a healthy means…it’s a win-win for all.
Two things that I love – chicken and saving money. Do you love chicken and saving money, too? Okay readers, then this recipe is for you.
This seriously took me 5 minutes to make. Literally…5 minutes! If you are reading my blog, you are probably a *real* foodie, too; meaning, you likely strive to eliminate processed foods, GMOs, and other unsavory “foods” from your diet. Well, then this recipe might come as a bit of a surprise to you. Let me explain… Yes, I, too, LOVE …
This recipe grew out of a desire for crunchy things in my house…and easy to grab and eat, healthy food. Crackers have always been a hit here and these are no exception. These are so easy that you probably have all of the necessary ingredients and tools already in your home. Sweet! I love the taste of oats, so I …
