My friend Katie of Kitchen Stewardship has authored some of my most-referenced cookbooks over the years. Her ebooks are the first ones I turn to when I want a good snack for summer travel or a frugal potluck meal. The pages I’ve printed off from her ebooks have that well-loved look any cook is familiar Continue reading Frugal Nutrition Tips: Should We Eat Beans?   One of our favorite snacks has always been this versatile no-bake “snack balls” recipe. It is simple enough that my 6-year-old loves to help. I like to keep a dish of these in the refrigerator to grab for quick snacks or adding to a travel bag; even our toddler loves them! It can be made nut-free, Continue reading Healthy Truffle Snack Balls
Post by Contributing Writer, Katie Late spring is a funny time of year. We wake up to cool mornings, as the day goes on the afternoons warm up rather quickly. Now is the time when you may find yourself greeting the morning with a cup of tea only to find yourself reaching for Continue reading 20 Healthy Drinks For Spring

Post by Contributing Writer, Holly Never would I have thought I would come to appreciate, even admire, the common dandelion (i.e., “Taraxacum officinale”). What I once called a stubborn, defiant, nuisance of a weed, I now describe as a timeless, medicinal cornucopia – a medicinal plant with no rival – with an impressive recipe Continue reading The Dandelion – A Medicinal Cornucopia {And Edible}

Chai is my absolute favorite beverage. Since high school, I’ve enjoyed these sweet, milky cups of tea with their spicy flavor. I’ve usually sipped it hot, but lately, I’ve actually been preferring it iced. (What mama’s cup of tea doesn’t usually end up cold anyway, right?) After being concerned about the caffeine at one point, Continue reading Homemade Iced Rooibos Chai |
