• Skin and Body Rashes

      I’ve been meaning to continue with some simple medical advice and home care that can hopefully help answer some questions and keep your kids home and healthy!

    I grew up eating this salad and have always liked it!  I recently had it again and can’t remember why we haven’t had this in so long!  Spinach is so tasty and hearty! So delicious and so nutritious too!

    Spinach Salad and Vegan Mayonnaise Dressing
  • Nourishing Traditions Book Review: Part XVIII – Poultry

      Chicken is an easy winner in our house. It’s a favorite and simple to cook and cheaper than a lot of other cuts of meat. We usually purchase a whole chicken and use all of its parts. By roasting it whole we have one meal, then use the leftover meat for another meal. The [...]

Sesame Beef and Snow Pea Soup

This is a super quick and easy soup. Quite light and very flavorful. The simple flavors make this enjoyable even on a warm day. Usually dear hubby likes lots of spices and complex flavors. Simple just doesn’t work for him… except this recipe! The first time I made this I thought for sure no one [...]

With my third pregnancy my midwife stressed the importance of eating fish especially when pregnant. I knew that it was important, but I just didn’t know how to cook [...]

Hydrogen Peroxide – H2O2

Did you grow up using hydrogen peroxide?  We did!  And boy did it sting on open wounds!  As I’ve recnetly been working as a nurse, the medical profession no longer advises using it to clease wounds.  The argument is that not only does it kill bacteria, but it also kills the new healthy cells growing [...]
