It’s called the Ultimate Healthy Meal Planning Bundle and here’s how it works: It’s a complete meal planning solution made up of 10 mini-bundles. Each bundle Keep Reading
FREE class: How to can safely and with confidence!

Canning is a fairly simple way to preserve tons of different foods to use in the future. Are you ready to get your canning feet wet, but just a bit unsure of how to do it right?

My plan to get 25 meals in the freezer for summer! YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
Summer is JUST AROUND THE CORNER which means a total change in schedule, right? Kids are home all day, the sun is beckoning us outside, and fun is the top priority. Well, that's not true. While I want fun to be the top priority, the regulars of life remain -- cleaning, bathing, and eating. And the eating part is always the most difficult part for me. The last thing I want to do after an afternoon at the pool, the park, or something else awesome is to stand at the stove for an hour preparing dinner. So I'm giving myself a little gift this summer -- TWENTY-FIVE nights off from cooking! And you can give yourself the same gift! Join me for our Keep Reading

Spring Gardening in the Pacific Northwest
This is a re-post from a previous year. Spring Gardening in the Pacific NW As I walked through my favorite local nursery last weekend, it took every last ounce of willpower to hold back. That place turns me into a crazy person. All the plants! All the possibility! I settled on some kale and lettuce starts and three packets of seeds: beets, carrots, peas. The broccoli and sweet onions were calling my name. Strawberries! Kohlrabi! Cauliflower! So many plants, so little time. I was proud of my restraint. My goal was to buy only what I had time to plant in one afternoon. The benefit of walking through a local growing center is that it will Keep Reading
