So this is an oldie but goodie: make your own homemade citrus cleaner! Why should you bother with making your own all-purpose cleaner? Two reasons: no nasty chemicals, and HUGE cost savings.

Oy. Y’all, I’m tired. Yesterday I shared my awesome solution to the birthday cake frosting problem, and without a second thought I called it “Vegan”. Yep. A recipe whose “secret ingredient” is CHICKEN FAT, I called Vegan. See, the problem is that we are dairy and egg free; over the … Continue reading
(Edited Post Notes: I know, I know – I said this was Vegan, originally! Obviously, it is clearly NOT a Vegan recipe once you read through it. What can I say?

When I was obese, I put off shaving as much as I possibly could. For starters, it is really annoying to shave, and secondly, I … Continue reading
I really didn’t intend this week to be “The Five Stages of Grief” week, but it’s been a rough few days. Two days ago I was furious. Yesterday, I was depressed. Most of the day I sat around in a lethargic fog. I felt…nothing. Standing took too much energy. I … Continue reading
There are tons of “peanut butter cup” recipes online, but most of them are chock full of dairy and sugar. Since neither of those is okay for our household, I decided to tweak and make Jed a safe butter cup to enjoy. It was worth it! This is the first … Continue reading
