If you have a decent blender, try a Green Smoothie. Blend together kefir, yogurt or raw milk, filtered water and ice, with spinach, carrots, banana, cabbage and any other fruit or veggie you like. I also add coconut oil or flax oil. Add a little honey or stevia for sweetness if the banana...

Once you master crock-pot applesauce, you can graduate to crock-pot apple butter. http://feedingthecrew.blogspot.com/2009/10/apple-butter.html

These are my two favorites. :D http://feedingthecrew.blogspot.com/2009/10/one-bowl-holiday-fudge.html http://feedingthecrew.blogspot.com/2009/10/layered-mint-fudge.html

How much do you make at a time? It stores for just a couple of weeks?

Well, if you aren't interested in using it, I'll sure take it off your hands! I've been on the lookout for a non-electric mill.

I've always been a rather independant person. Until I was 6, my family lived on the top of a mountain on Whidbey Island, WA with no electricity, no running water, a goat, a cow, a couple of pigs and some cats and dogs. I haven't any bad memories of that time. Our truck couldn't get up the...

I love my Nutrimill. It makes all the flour I need in one shot. I can turn it off and on during the milling, if I need to, without it binding up. It has adjustable grinding for fine to coarse flour. The only thing it doesn't do is make cracked grain. I have a Marga for that, and for power...

Bread is pretty easy to make, Dace. Have you ever tried? Mine has Wheat, honey, water, yeast, oil and salt. Takes 90 minutes from grinding the wheat to taking it out of the oven. I do have 'servants' to do a lot of the work (grain mill, Bosch mixer), but it's SO worth it. I made it by hand...

Nothing wrong with that purchase!

Hands down: Ambleside Online It's the curricula I wish I had found when my eldest was little. I used The Weaver for several years, then made up my own stuff for a year, then found AO. I also like: MathUSee (the best math program there is) Discovery Puzzlemaker The 1828 Webster's Dictionary...

Is there a free site where I can enter recipe ingredients and get a nutritional breakdown? I can't figure out how to input dinner into FitDay without it.

Thanks for posting this, It's what I'd been looking for, but not finding. ;) I made an account last night and entered my standard breakfast: 3 whole eggs, cooked in two tsp bacon fat, and 8 ounces kombucha. Total carbs: 8.3 I find kombucha to be a very effective appetite suppressant. I don't...

Oh, congratulations!! To be free will be a wonderful thing! I'll pray for strength for you when the cravings come.

Thanks for the invite. I have scoured your site already, and passed along the link a few times! You, actually, are directly involved in my husband saying yes. I have asked on and off for hens for at least 14 years. The answer has always been no. After joining here, I clicked the link to...

We raise crickets. I assume that the chickens will like them, too. I have thought about doing mealies, but haven't taken the plunge.

1. To get my very own coop built and chicks bought and raised to laying age. 2. To educate myself more on local gardening needs 3. To keep my little garden producing year-round. 4. To can as much food as possible to guard against hard times, and for convenience purposes. 5. Continue to build a...

I have been researching low carb, also. I'm sure I'll learn lots on this thread! I am trying to focus on being lower-carb, too. I used to make a big pot of oatmeal for breakfast, then serve sandwiches for lunch and have rice or potatoes and corn with dinner. Now I try to serve sandwiches...

I am so excited to read through his thread! My husband has ok'd chickens (finally!) and we are slowly buying the coop materials. I'm trying to learn all I can before we get our chickies!

I second the request for the cranberry orange jam recipe! I still have marmalade left from last year, so I won't be doing much of that. I made some of the pomegranate jelly last night. It came out well! Now I need to find more pectin. We had a store go out of business a couple of years ago...
