Homemade Granola

I made granola today! It was so easy and it is so tasty, it makes me wonder why I have never looked into doing this before. What is more, I can make twice as much as those puny boxes you buy in the store and for less mo…
Spring is Here...or is it Summer?

It feels like we have been going from winter to summer the last year or so, with maaaaybe a week or two of spring and fall between. It's a shame because those are my favorites. It seems like the cold lingered longer tha…
The Bills

I realize my last blog was pretty intense...and a lot of what I posted was based on when the bill was first introduced in February, when panic mode was even higher. Since that time the rumors of organic farming being ba…
and now for something totally different...

An update on the home front. As you may know, work and pay have been horrendous. Well...Shane has been hired part-time for pay at the farm!! This is great news. Although he will be making less there, and still working…
Christians Please Pray - And Act!! This is Serious!

I keep hoping this is not real. For the last couple of months congress has been pushing and pushing hard and fast for a bill to be passed that will criminalize organic food production. H.R.875 Food …
The pastor opened his teaching with the question, "Have you ever wanted to ask someone 'HOW did you come to believe that?'" He proceeded to give an example of a conversation about beliefs completely contradictory to the…
Woot

This weekend Shane's mommy is coming to visit. We are excited. I have no idea what we are going to do, but it is going to be fun! Man, my brain feels so overloaded. I am excited for a weekend of distraction from it and…
Tonight's Menu *updated*

Tonight we are having Great Northern Beans with parsley, thyme and onion, baked sweet potato slices and a side of kohlrabi. I definitely have never even seen kohlrabi until Shane brought some home from the farm on…
You probably know about High Fructose Corn Syrup, but do you know about Crystalline Fructose?

This is an awesome article titled "What is Crystalline Fructose?" by JoLynn Braley. I recommend reading the whole thing, but I will highlight some things below. Cystalline Fructose is the main sweetener in many drinks, …
Truly Natural Skin Care :)

I have been experimenting over the last couple of months trying to find a natural acne care that works. I know I have posted about this before, but I have since learned some things that steered me away from those produc…
So much on my brain.

Really, I have so much on my mind lately...and I feel like I cannot express it. I think I am just going to write and see what comes out...and do as little editing as possible. My life continues to change on a regular …
Context! Context!!

I have known some people who get pretty worked up over taking the Bible out of context. And I can understand it ... to a point. There is no doubt that man has twisted and used Scripture for his own means, misinterpreti…
Passover this week

Will you be celebrating Passover this year?
Why Raw Milk is Better

I am thinking a LOT about cows. I have a post of info coming up, but here's a 10 min video I really encourage you to watch. It gets even better after about 2 minutes, very informative just about milk and what pasteuriza…
My life today

Today I attempted running, just a little, on my walk. It almost killed me, but I did it. I am hoping to do a little bit more physical activity, since the weather is warmer. I mean, I stay pretty active during the day, b…
Sometimes it's nice to be dense

Last night, Shane and I rented a couple of movies and had a double feature with some home-made pizza. It was awesome. The first movie we watched was "7 Pounds" with Will Smith. For some reason I didn't really understa…
