The following post is from Shaina of Food for My Family and Olmanson Photography: Each year I fight the fall. I think because the transition from full-blown summer to crisp autumn is my favorite time of year, I'd rather just freeze time, which leads me to resent when the overnight temps drop below 40º F.…
The following post is from Kate of Modern Alternative Mama: Kombucha. I joined a Weston A. Price group in the very beginning of 2009 and all the stuff people were talking about was so confusing to me. Soaking grains? FCLO? Kombucha? I had no idea what any of these things even were, let alone why I would…
The following post is from Shaina of Food for My Family and Olmanson Photography: Tangy Manchego cheese and Spanish olives are dotted through this soft freeform bread loaf. My grey counters are antiqued in a thin layer of white powder. I turn the corner, sweeping as I go, and am greeted by a floured outline…
The following post is from Stephanie of RealFoodEnthusiast.com: This dish puts a Mediterranean spin on your classic baked chicken and rice! I'm a big fan of the "cook once, eat twice" method of cooking, so even though this recipe makes quite a bit of food (our family of four will have leftovers for at least…

If we don't know what's for breakfast (or sometimes, lunch or dinner!), we'll make a pan of scrambled eggs. But plain scrambled…
The following post is from Shaina of Food for My Family and Olmanson Photography: I often end up with leftover steak. The thing is, we started buying a side of beef a few years ago. We split a whole cow with the neighbors, and we each take home an equal portion of the entire thing.…
The following post is from Micaela of Mindful Momma: source: Micaela Living in the Upper Midwest, I am used to the dry skin that long winters and too much time in artificially heated air bring on. My bathroom cabinets are filled with lotions and potions geared to combat dry skin, but I've found that there's…
The following post is from Shaina of Food for My Family and Olmanson Photography: I do not have it all together, especially when it comes to managing life. I think this is common for families, especially working families or families with several children. (Four is several, right?) We often feel in control, the schedules align,…
The following post is from Shaina of Food for My Family and Olmanson Photography: I've had quiche on my menu for the last two weeks, and I have continuously put it off. It's not that quiche in its traditional sense with its pastry crust is so difficult to make, but the thought of mixing and…
