Gluten-Free Buckwheat Flour Pizza Crust

Gluten-Free Buckwheat Flour Pizza Crust

Friday night we have the tradition of making homemade pizza.  And last night was no different!  Two of our good friends from out of the country stayed the night at our house, so we decided to include them in our pizza-making shenanigans. I love making my own pizza because I can put exactly what I want on top […]

Natural Homemade Facial Scrub

Natural Homemade Facial Scrub

I’ve been getting into a lot of natural products lately for skin care and cleaning…and by natural I mean homemade, not just the “natural” products from the grocery.  The high cost of “natural” or “organic” beauty care in the stores can be outrageous! So, I have turned to easy ingredients I can keep around my house […]

Peaches n’ Cream Ice Cream

One of my favorite things about summer is the delicious and fresh array of fruits!  I get so excited when the berries and peaches start rolling into the markets!  When I was younger I would always go to the farmers market with my Grandma when I visited in the summertime.  There I would help her pick out […]

Properly Preserving your Fresh Fish! Part One

It is official!  We have FINALLY found a reputable fish supplier that gives us access to fresh seafood that is beyond delicious.  Due to the lack-of lakes or trustworthy water sources where we live, the selection of wild-caught fish is mediocre at best.  Spending $8-9/lb on fish that is old, stinky, and dry by the time it hits my mouth is […]

Vacation 101: Snack Packs for Healthy Travelers

Sizzling sun, soft breezes, refreshing rain…summertime not only draws us to the outdoors, but it is also a time for families to get-away and enjoy each other on vacation.  At least with us there is always a slight anxiety surrounding get-aways when it comes to the food; if you are trying to eat healthy, and especially if you have […]

Greene Goodness Lemon Blend

 On a whole different level than “Pink Lemonade”… Do you ever feel like your body just needs a good sweeping from the inside out?  That’s how I feel every time I come back from say a weekend away or even just after a busy week!  Sometimes you just need a fresh start to the day that will set you […]
