A Fun Lacto-Fermentation Class
Yesterday I gave two women a private fermenting class in their homes.

I decided to share with you here, in […]
Homemade Date Seed Coffee Substitute Recipe and Instructions
Sorry, I couldn’t help myself! I had a hard time bringing myself to write coffee on here, because it isn’t… covfefe worked well as a replacement…. Growing up, I never liked or drank coffee.

My Latest Super Frugal Grocery Shopping Trip
As I mentioned in my recent post on saving money without time or energy, because I’ve been very busy, I haven’t had a chance to make it to the market to buy super frugal produce. However, produce prices have been a little crazy even at my cheaper local shops, so when I went to the city […]
