Many people are familiar with sprouts, such as bean sprouts or alfalfa sprouts. Generally people purchase these at the grocery store, but it is quite simple to make them at home. (Though I’ve made mung bean sprouts many times and mine always turn out less sweet and crunchy than the store bought type, and with […]
Sweet and Spicy Carrot Medallions Recipe- Easy, Cheap, Paleo and Vegan
Sorry for not having posted so much lately, my husband has been on spring break from work, so we’ve been spending time as a family and less time on the computer and writing posts on my blog. I’m sorry about that! So, what’s new with me? My husband has built so many cool things for […]
Homemade Pallet Spice Rack- DIY Makeover
I wrote in a previous post how many spices I use, and how the little bitty spice racks I see them selling all over doesn’t hold nearly enough spices for me, and the few I’ve seen that seem somewhat large enough are extremely over priced. I was overjoyed when my husband made me a homemade spice […]
Our New Upcycled Guest Bed — Completely Free and Very Easy!

No Shame, a Little Guts, and a Lot of Free Food
Today I went to the market to meet with my friend Juli, who was coming with her kids, and she wanted me to show her around the market. My fridge was already full from the last time I was there and got so much food for very little money, but I did need some fruit, […]
Sesame Baked Sweet Potatoes Recipe- Paleo, Vegan, Refined Sugar Free, Gluten Free
A while ago I discovered how delicious the various orange vegetables (sweet potatoes, pumpkins, carrots, etc…) taste with a sweet soy sauce based sauce.
