Cooking Traditional Foods Menu Mailer

Are you new to whole and traditional foods or to "Nourishing Traditions"? Have you just gone gluten/dairy-free and don’t know what to eat?

The menu mailer covers 6 dinners (including side dishes) and one dessert every week.  It contains a full menu, shopping list, a preparation plan, and serving suggestions for each meal.  Tips and information are included in every mailer as well.

What makes the Cooking Traditional Foods menu mailer unique?  A preparation schedule is included with every menu mailer.  It reminds you when to thaw the meat, prep the crock-pot, make the stock or soak the grains.  Because lack of planning is a major hurdle in getting healthy meals on the table, this schedule helps you make sure everything is done.  It also contains blanks so you can write in your own reminders for breakfast, snacks and lunches.

Passionate Housewives Desperate for God

Biblical Womanhood

Biblical Womanhood began in 2005 as a ministry to encourage and equip women and young women. Through our bookstore, articles, newsletter, and blog, we desire to promote femininity and build up women as they embrace their Biblical callings. In this humanistic, feministic culture, we want to be a breath of fresh air to women seeking after something greater than what the world has to offer - to glorify the Lord in all they do, say, and think!

How Does Your Garden Grow? Everyone Can Have a Garden!

12:39, Tuesday, May 6, 2008 .. Posted in Gardening .. 0 comments .. Link
This is a post from a year or more back. I'm reposting it because with the shortages of foods in some areas and the fact that people are stocking up on staple items because of it, I thought it was a good reminder that nearly everyone can grow at least some of their own food. If there's a will, there's a way! Hopefully these ideas will help you find a way to have a vegetable garden that will work for you! ~ Susan

Earlier this week, we found lettuce, cabbage, kale, lettuce, broccoli and brussels sprout plants at Wal-Mart. Hopefully this weekend, we'll go pick up some of each to plant this weekend. I really love this time of the year and getting our gardens ready for spring. Every year, we add more and more garden space and someday hope to raise all of our vegetables that we need for the year. We really enjoy eating the veggies fresh, in season. What we can't eat, we either can or freeze for the months when we can't really grow much. This way we are assured that the food we're eating is of the highest quality. We don't have to worry about pesticides and GMOs.

 

Nearly everyone can grow a garden, even apartment dwellers can do container gardens. I have a friend who grow tomatoes and green beans on the balcony of her apartment. There are many ways that you can garden if you don't have the room yourself. Do you have a friend with a large backyard? Grow a garden there and split the work and the harvest! Does your apartment building have a small plot of land big enough for a garden? Ask your building supervisor if you can use it to grow a garden or ask them if they can provide a plot of land on the property that you and your neighbors can grow a community garden.

 

Even if you have a small yard, you can do gardens in your flower beds. Plant lettuce around a shady tree, put tomato plants or pole beans in large terra cotta pots, fill window boxes with fresh herbs, there are so many ways you can work in vegetables into your landscaping. Place a lattice against a wall and plant climbing veggies underneath it. This doesn't take up a lot of room and there are lots of veggies you can plant like that. Where there's a will there's a way! With a little creativity, you can grow your own veggies where ever you live.

 

For us, growing what we can, saves us money and allows us to spend that money we save on veggies to purchase better foods for our family. We save between $20 - $30 per week by growing our own veggies, and this allows us to buy the more expensive organic and grass fed products that are better for us. A little planning can help you save money, improve your family's health and provide better food for your family.
