8 Simple Ways to Become a Healthier Eater

As I have mentioned before (in “What's happened to our food system?), we live in a society that encourages all but healthy eating. This happens thanks to the monstrous business of food and both internal and external pressures to maximize profits.  

A majority of the artificially modified foods and beverages we habitually ingest, have the potential to get us “hooked” on their amazing smell and taste, thus we come back for more. But when they are consumed over long periods of time however, they deteriorate our health.

Have no faith in big food companies. Far from caring about our well-being, they claim that they give people what they want and our choices are a personal responsibility (of course). No kidding!

My Guest Post at Healthy Roots Happy Soul: Sunburn Reflief Tonic

Who hasn't dealt at least once in their life with sunburns! Well did you know that products marketed to relieve sunburn and the discomfort that comes with them contain mostly synthetic ingredients that can make the problem work, or at best not work at all!

I came up with a natural sunburn relief tonic after my husband got a unpleasant burn on his neck when we were visiting a farm.

Big Savings On Real Food and Natural Living Products!

Let's get real here for a moment, this lifestyle, the Real Food and Natural Living style, sometimes can be quite expensive. Sometimes I spend more than my husband certainly wishes I would; coconut oil, raw honey, grain-free flours, essential oils, medicinal herbs...the list goes on! And as a family living on one income I definitely try to save our money and allocate it toward our high priorities.

Guest Post: The Perfect Pico Formula

Friends, do I have a treat for you! Corah Webber, owner and author of The Home Spun Rabble Rouser, is our guest blogger today, and she has brought us not just a recipe but a recipe formula for endless creations, and it comes just in time for barbeque season! We love pico in this house too; I have been stuck in a plain ol' tomato pico rut though, Corah has inspired me to think outside the box! Enjoy and don't forget to visit Corah!

The Perfect Pico Formula

My family adores pico with blue corn chips.  It's one of my kids favorite snacks and it's usually gone before I can get a taste.  Sometimes I make a secret bowl and hide it in the back of the refrigerator just so I can have my own.

  

Pico is the perfect spring and summer side to bring to picnics or family gatherings.  I like to experiment a bit with my pico, but I have found that there is a basic formula, and if you get that right while experimenting with the add-ins, it will always turn out delicious.
