Leftover meatloaf can be so versatile. I turned plain leftover meatloaf into something new and delicious – beef quesadillas!
It made a lot – enough for supper and lunches the next day too. And since I was using leftover food, it was almost free.

How easy is it to make homemade crackers? I love to make things for myself for both financial as well as environmental reasons. So now my mind got to rolling. Hummmm… I saw something online the other day about how easy it was to make your own crackers …

I’ve amended our favorite KitchenAid bread to include honey & a bit of oat flour. The healthy oats give the resulting soft homemade oatmeal / honey sandwich bread a hearty feel and it’s DELICIOUS!

I wasn’t trying to lose weight but the scales inched downward anyway when enjoying this delicious hot & hearty cabbage stew recipe for a few lunches. Cabbage, broth, tomato sauce, peppers & onions and a can of mixed vegetables was all I needed.

I recently shared with you the recipe for our Lavender / Rosemary cold process soap we made to include in our Christmas gift baskets. Today I’ll share the recipe we used to make a vanilla-scented shampoo bar. Whaaaa??? A bar of soap you can use as shampoo?? Oh yeah!
As a matter of fact, I haven’t used commercial shampoo from a plastic bottle for several years. I love the creamy lather this bar makes. And you know I love that there’s no plastic bottle of shampoo for me to buy and then send the trash to the landfill. Plus these vanilla-scented shampoo bars were very well received by our gift recipients.

I’ve had many requests for me to share our soap recipe so I’m sharing with you today. We made several batches using different oils and also different dried botanicals from our homestead. We’re using dried lavender blooms from the beautiful lavender in my flower beds. I also enjoy using crushed dried rosemary from the mammoth rosemary bush at our porch.
