Even though jello isn’t usually thought of as a healthy food, it can be! You can make it with unflavored gelatin and natural juice with no added sugars  or dyes and then add some fruit for vitamins and fiber! And gelatin has all kinds of health benefits! Ingredients: 2 Tablespoons unflavored gelatin 4 cups juice [...]

You all know how much I love muffins, so I was pretty excited about a library book called Mad About Muffins by Dot Varton! I tweaked the sweet potato muffin recipe just a little and ended up making it this way: Ingredients: 2 C. white flour 1 c. whole wheat flour 4 tsp. baking powder [...]

Hobo stew…in my mind it’s the perfect meal for camping out… Everyone can personalize their meal before the trip. It’s a whole meal in one ball of aluminum foil, so their’s less to carry in. You don’t need a bunch of equipment or fancy dishes to make it. It’s yummy! And it’s very cheap! First [...]

I never in a million years would’ve thought I’d try making my homemade deodorant, in fact I hadn’t even heard of any one doing it until a couple of years back. But now I’ve tried it and am really liking the results! I used A Blossoming Life’s recipe. Only 3 ingredients! ¼ cup of baking soda [...]

Corn tortillas - They’re so much yummier when you can eat them freshly made! Pumpkin Puree - Perfect for this time of year!  Pop corn - It’s a great cheap and healthy snack! Applesauce - I like using up mealy or bruised apples this way. Ice coffee - We all know how much cheaper this is than buying it from [...]
