Potato Coffee

Every morning for a number of years I’ve (in general) had a cup of coffee. This doesn’t take away from the wild fables of my tea-drinking persona (for I love tea, as a quick perusal of previous blog posts will prove), but it does add to the depth of the flavors I tend to partake in daily. Coffee is good. It tastes good and it is good. Could it be better? I used to wonder that. I switched, initially, from major brands to small, organic, fair-trade outfits. The taste improved considerably. Eventually I switched brewing methods. I moved from the … Continue reading →

Ways to Save Money on Gluten-Free Foods

Posted on by

In my experience, having a gluten allergy means that you are likely to end up spending more money on your weekly grocery shopping trip than you have in the past (before you discovered that you had this allergy). There are some ways to cut down on this expense, and make eating gluten-free a little easier on your budget. If you, or a family member, needs to start eating a gluten-free diet, this is going to change how you plan meals and shop for groceries. In general, shopping for foods that you can be certain are gluten-free can be expensive. There … Continue reading →

Sneaking in The Garlic

I love garlic. I grew up with it practically as a staple. My husband on the other hand grew up in household where black pepper was an exotic spice that was only used on special occasions. When we first married, he told me that he didn’t like garlic. He still sort of confesses to that, even though he knows that he gets garlic in something or other at least once or twice a week and enjoys the dishes. My sons are the same way. They profess to not like garlic, but they gobble it up anyway. My daughter would ask … Continue reading →

America’s Oldest Family-Run Farm for Sale

I have blogged about purchasing locally grown produce, but being a farmer today can be hard. So hard in fact that Will Tuttle is planning to pack it in. Tuttle is the owner of the 134 acre farm in Dover, New Hampshire that is the longest family-run farm in the country. Started in 1635, the Tuttle farm has been passed down from father to son for hundreds of years. But, Tuttle, an 11th generation farmer, said his sons don’t want it and he doesn’t want to force it on them, so he has put the farm up for sale. Tuttle, … Continue reading →

What Business Do I Have Writing About Home Business?

Since I am a new blogger for the home business blog, you may be wondering whether or not I have a home business. I am proud to say that I currently have not just one, but two home businesses. Both of them are fairly new, since I started them after my son was born and he’s only a little over seven months old. My writing business was the easiest of my two businesses to start because it evolved gradually over time. For a few years, I have been doing legal research and writing for a few attorneys that I know. … Continue reading →

Eggs and Weight Loss

If you want to lose weight consider eggs! Once thought to be something to avoid because of cholesterol, eggs are now seen as a miracle food in the aid to weight loss. In fact, many nutritionists are recommending at least one egg a day to help you lose weight. There have been numerous studies in the news lately about the benefit of eggs for weight loss. For example, a Louisiana study found that women who ate eggs for breakfast instead of bagels lost twice as much weight as others. Why are eggs so wonderful for weight loss? Well, first you … Continue reading →

Produce Brokers

I recently started going to The City Market in Kansas City. Once or twice a week, they do have a farmer’s market there, but every single day of every single week (year-round!), they have the “city market.” Now, I don’t know exactly how to describe it, but as I understand it, the vendors are produce brokers, meaning they buy wholesale and supply the grocery stores. I don’t know much about it; all I know is that the produce is DIRT CHEAP! Of course, when I first went, I had to keep reminding myself that most of the produce is conventional, … Continue reading →
