Just tried this homemade toothpaste recipe fromhttp://www.tammysrecipes.com/homemade_toothpaste Love it!

Sorry for the delay in posting. You know, holidays and all can be very time consuming. Anyway, I ran out of eggs this morning but really wanted to make some corn bread. So, I improvised.The recipe only calls for one egg so it isn’t that devastating to replace it with something else. I wanted the […]
One of the most often poisoned and frequent weeds found in the United States is Dandelion. The whole plant is edible and not to mention delicious. I get very excited to see them bloom in the spring and fall. My husband and I go out and pick as many as we can find and make […]

I live on a budget. Then again, who doesn’t? My downfall is that I like to eat well. When I was a little younger, I had a really great summer job that helped me make double my income from the previous year in just a few months. By the end of the year, however, I […]
Verbascum thapsus I have heard this wonderful plant described as “Indian Toilet Paper”. I am a little bit horrified to think of using such an incredibly medicinal and beneficial plant in such a way, although…the leaves are very soft. Regardless, I shudder a little when I think about it.
