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!

Homemade Toothpaste

10:23, Wednesday, May 7, 2008 .. Posted in Natural Health & Beauty .. 0 comments .. Link

I made my first batch of homemade toothpaste the other day and we LOVE it. It's so easy to do and if CHEAP!! I brushed with it this morning and my teeth feel really smooth and clean. I got the recipe for this toothpaste at Seeking the Old Paths.

For this recipe you will need:

Photobucket

Coconut oil

Baking Soda

Essential Oil or Flavoring of Choice

Stevia

Photobucket

I also bought these Glad Ware mini round containers to put the toothpaste in.

Photobucket

The first thing you do in place about 2 tbsp. of the coconut oil into a bowl. You may need to soften the coconut oil a bit to make it easier to mix. I had to do this to get it where I could mix in the other ingredients thourghouly.

Photobucket

Next, I added to the coconut oil about 3 tbsp. of baking soda.

Photobucket

Next I added the stevia, I used about 4 packets of "Only Sweet" brand stevia. YOu can use more or less depending on personal preferrence.

Photobucket Photobucket

Next, you want to add the essential oils and/or flavoring. My kids really don't like strong mint toothpaste...Riley says it's too "spicy". So instead, I opted to add Pure Vanilla Extract and just a few drops of spearmint essential oil. This way it had a slight minty taste, but not over powering. Vanilla Mint flavored toothpaste!! YOu can flavor the toothpaste with any number of essential oils and/or flavorings. I want to try lemon and cinnamon sometime. Just make sure whatever essential oils you use are safe to consume! If you try this recipe with other flavors, please let me know how they turned out!

Photobucket

This is how the toothpaste looked after I'd added all the ingredients. Give it a taste and adjust the stevia and flavoring to your taste.

Photobucket

Pour it into the container you plan on storing it into. These Glad Ware containers were the perfect size.

I wrote the name of the toothpaste on top of the container and then popped in into the refrigerator to thicken back up. Coconut oil is a solid up to about 75-80 degrees. After than it becomes a liquid. You don't have to store this in the refrigerator, I just wanted to hurry it up getting thicker again. To use the toothpaste, just dip your brush in to get some paste on your brush and then brush your teeth as usual. This paste doesn't foam up like the toothpaste you'd buy at the store, but it does leave you teeth clean and smooth. Peole have been using baking soda to brush their teeth with for years. Coconut oil also has antimicrobial properties which is helpful to control germs in your mouth. But, most important, IT DOES NOT CONTAIN FLOURIDE!
