    Shop your Pantry

    March 21, 2019 / 4 Comments

    In the United States, we waste between 30 to 40 percent of our food supply, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. As a family we are guilty of this as well but we are trying our best to cut back on our food waste. What we have been doing to cut back on our waste is first we shop our pantry and fridge before heading to the store. I try and make a meal plan for that week with items we already have. Next, we freeze any leftovers that we are not going to eat in the next couple of days. If we do have any food that…

    Healthy Butternut Squash & Apple Soup  Fall is here and in full swing! Time for soups and warm delicious meals. Today is November 1st! I can’t believe it! Can you? Our gardening has almost come to an end for this year. Which is bittersweet! I won’t miss weeding our large garden!  But I will miss grabbing some fresh veggies right from our garden. Now I just go downstairs to our large freezer for all the prepped and frozen garden veggies.  I just have a few herbs and kale that are still doing great. This year, we decided to grow butternut squash. After making this soup I am so thankful we decided…

  • Charcoal Lemonade Recipe

    June 21, 2017 / 1 Comment

    Activated Charcoal Lemonade with Collagen Recipe Our take on the activated charcoal lemonade with collagen recipe craze looks much cooler than the sludge-colored detox drinks everyone seems to be sipping lately. We froze our activated charcoal into ice cubes, creating a stark contrast when served in bright lemonade. When the ice starts to melt, it creates a cool-looking swirling effect as the charcoal mixes with the drink. To give it an extra boost, we mixed in Great Lakes Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate powder. Collagen helps keep joints flexible and skin supple but because it decreases with age, it’s important to replenish with collagen-rich foods or supplements. This powder from Great Lakes…
