I read on a website this morning “Once you start canning things from your garden you will not stop. You start to look for things to can.”  I didn’t think it would be true, but I find myself scouring the store flyers for produce bargains. Mushrooms are .49c for 8oz at Aldi … I’m there! [...]

It’s getting harder and harder as the months go by, and I do my best to take things in my stride and not complain. This month I was really stretching to make it to the end of the month. My food stamps have been reduced because I am being paid for 4 hours of work [...]

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been sneaking over to Normal three times a week to get my vibe on. Yes. Really! See, I was a vendor at the Annual Holistic Fair at Natural Pathways in Normal. While there, I entered draws for a few things, and imagine my surprise when I got a [...]

But I did bake a cake! Twelve of them – cupcakes …. vegan cupcakes. This was my first attempt at vegan baking, and what I liked about this recipe is that I already had all the ingredients on hand. I did use vanilla soy yogurt where it probably should have been plain soy yogurt. I [...]

This 21 day kickstart seems to have kickstarted more than my eating habits. Or it could be because I’m back on my thyroid meds after 6 months of not being able to afford them. It could also be the fact that I slept on Friday night from 6pm to 10.30pm, then 11pm unto 10am on [...]

The PCRM 21-Day vegan kickstart begins today. That’s the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, so you know it’s good, right? This is the third time I’ve started this. The first time I tried I almost got all the way through. The second time, I barely managed two days. This time, I’m not working, so I’m [...]

I’ve decided to use CinchCast for some of my posts. The reason for this is that many times I go to bed and then stay awake tossing and turning because I keep thinking “I should have blogged about …..” or “I forgot to record …..” Mostly, I’ll be using it from my phone. I believe [...]

That’s my new mantra. And I’m going to do my best! Losing my job precludes me from signing up for Henry’s Farm CSA for next year. While $390 is a bargain for 26 weeks of fresh, organic veggies, that’s more than a week’s benefits and I just can’t guarantee that I can pay that money [...]

The verdict is in. I’m about to embark on the The Raw Divas 7-day raw food detox program. Starting Saturday. After the Kiwanis fundraising pancake breakfast. I just don’t feel good. I have a full blown sinus infection which is not only messing with my head, but my chest too. I think it’s time to [...]

Just because the babygirl has an ache in her chest. Just because she had a fever when I picked her up from school. Just because she slept from the moment she came home until it was time for dinner, and then from when she finished eating until she went to bed. Just because …. Ciel [...]
