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.
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!

We haven't had trash service for a long time. Since we live in the country (way in the boonies!), we would have to pay for it and it's rather expensive. So instead we reuse what we can, recycle (glass/plastic/metal/aluminum), burn (in a burn barrel) and compost. I save all glass jars with lids because I use them to water bath can (mayonnaise jars, jelly, etc.) If a canning lid & ring will fit on them, I save them! They work well for me! We've even started saving toilet paper tubes to use for starting our seeds! I also rinse out our cans and use some of them to make emergency candles...they work GREAT for that! I keep a stack of them in the pantry (I use used wax I buy at garage sales, via old used candles). We have a big covered cage in the back yard that we put all our aluminum in. Then when it's full, we haul it off to sell...last time we made over $100 that way! I take the paper we receive and roll it up into a tight twist and then dip them in wax...fire starters! Any plastic tubs with lids get saved for storing leftovers, especially those that go to work with my husband, as they often never make it back home. I even reuse old worn out clothing! Most of them have buttons, zippers, etc that can be saved. You can also usually get some usable fabric from them. I cut out what I can save and smaller pieces get cut into 3 inch quilt squares...when I have enough I'll make a quilt! There are so many ways you can use up your trash to make useful things. Before I throw anything away I consider it and see if it has another use. We burn our trash as needed, compost all food and paper scraps (what can compost), and recycle once a month.
It always amazes me what people throw away in the trash..
Like you we reuse everything possible..
We have a large homemade bin that we store all alumin cans. We also sell them to earn money.. Like you said it adds up quickly.. We pick up cans off the side of the road..So for us it is FREE MONEY...
As far as metal cans.. That is a great idea to reuse scrap metal cans.. We have two large old garbage cans that we save our ins..When they are full then we take them off to the recycle center.. It is not much money but they do buy them back.. Our thoughts are every penny is a penny.. And it keeps it all out of the trash dump... ;-) I am going to look at keeping some of the cans now however to make candles out of.. I really like that idea...
I also like the idea of having a burn barrel.. I am not sure however how to go about that..
I wonder if we I could get them to remove us from trash pick up. It would save me about 15.00 a month... Heavens I can burn my trash and take all things to the recycle trailor that is right up the road from us...
Now you have got me to thinking.. :-)
Thanks for some of the great ideas..
god bless

I love the ideas that you have. We also live in a rural area where you have to pay for trash service. We have been trying to cut expenses, so your blog is a very timely one for us.
Something that I would like to add to your ideas is Freecycle anything that is usable but no longer needed. There is much that people throw away that can be used by others.
We have been making changes to a more simple life. We have animals that eat kitchen scraps, old coffee grounds and such can be put into the compost or garden. This also helps to cut down on the amount of trash.
Basically it comes down to recycling as much as possible and be very conscience of the amount of waste you bring into your home through packaging and such.
Thank you for inspiring us. Now that I have more ideas flowing, I may write up a blog on some of the ways we cut down on household waste.
