Homemade chicken soup is amazing whether you're sick or not. It's not just the comfort factor of chicken soup that draws us to it when we're feeling sick. It has a lot of beneficial components for boosting immunity. When slow cooked, the marrow is released from the bones and nutrients are more thoroughly broken down, allowing our bodies to fight…
People get lost. It happens. Getting lost in the woods or any remote place that is unfamiliar can result in some pretty bad stuff. Being prepared for a trip into the wild is super important. Below I have compiled some information that I have gathered over the years from experience and from others. Take a look and please offer additional…
Planning ahead for meals is essential to sustaining a healthy lifestyle. Cooking with real food takes extra time. I ain't gonna bullshit ya. More preparation is involved, but there are some tricks I've learned that help me save time. I love to cook, but I don't want to spend ALL of my time in the kitchen. We live in a…
Caring for pets requires far more than I ever realized going into it. I've had a dog in my life since I was five. I have a connection with dogs. I like them far more than most people (sorry, don't take it personally). They are so loyal. So cute. So much work if you're doing everything that should be done…
Fruit salad is a great way to have your sweets and stay healthy. I hosted an essential oil class the other night and I made some food using the oils for the attendees to try. One of them was a fresh fruit salad tossed in doTERRA's Wild Orange essential oil. It turned out really good. The flavor is insane. This…
Yep, I like the tiny houses. However... I noticed a couple things about tiny house living that just don't seem practical. When I first started watching the videos, documentaries, reading articles, etc I just didn't understand how no one seemed to be annoyed by not being able to stand up in their 2nd floor. I also thought it was odd…
Glass containers are a must for your food. Back when I started this whole crazy food journey, I noticed that organic food costs more. It should. More time and effort goes into harvesting that food than the creepy frankinfood that is readily available to us for a fraction of the cost. I used to use plastic because that's what everyone…
One of the things I look forward to most in the summer are Caprese salads. There is nothing like a fresh, ripe tomato. Wild Onion Farms has the best out there. I love their Kellogg's Breakfast and Marianna's Peace tomatoes. Kellogg's Breakfast is a warm, sunny light yellow-orange color. They have a good bit of water in them so they…
Going to my camp is something I think about pretty much every day. I live in Raleigh, NC so it’s hard to get up to PA as much as I’d like to. I usually manage about four trips throughout the summer. It’s a little over 1200 miles, sixteen hours round trip. It kinda sucks. I hate driving on 95 and…
