This moist chunky apple bread is cinnamony, delicious & super easy to make. Plus I make it healthier by substituting oil with homemade applesauce! You can bake them either as muffins or as a loaf.

I like to serve healthier beverages. It’s important to drink water, but sometimes it get cat boring. What about a minty drink that’s sugar free. Is there any such thing?
Recently I was looking at my mint bed which is doing VERY well #thankyouverymuch. A little too well actually. It’s spreading in places I’d rather it not grow.
But while I was thinning the rambling mint runners, it smelled so dang good. I wondered if I could use it for a refreshingly-cold minty drink?

RancherMan loves his iced tea. I love that it’s a healthier drink option for him than many other choices. And brewing our own tea means no trash. Plus it’s super cheap.
All. Good. Stuff.
But did you know it doesn’t necessarily have to be hot outside to brew tea? All you really need is sunshine. There are a couple of ways I’m able to provide RancherMan with that delicious beverage he loves. Brewed in winter or summer: No purchased energy necessary!

Fall is in the air, and for me that always means PUMPKIN! This homemade pumpkin bread recipe has a huge shortcut – a boxed cake mix. Simply blend cake mix, required oil/butter, eggs, pumpkin puree and spices. Simple. Fast. Delicious!

I love my solar oven. I’ve said it time & time again, I hate to fire up my electric oven during the heat & humidity of our Texas summers.
Not only does it cost fuel for the stove to operate, but boiling eggs adds even more heat inside our home. That requires our air conditioning to work overtime cooling it back down, therefore costing even more money.
Several years ago I bought a solar oven and I absolutely love it! What a great item in your Emergency Preparedness toolbox!
Then at a Mother Earth News Fair I attended a few years ago, a solar-cooking seminar presenter told us how easy it was to cook ‘hard-boiled’ whole eggs in the solar oven without even using water. Color me intrigued!

Emergency preparedness for any situation is a good thing in my book. I especially plan about how to keep our homestead going when we lose electricity.
When natural disaster hits & electricity is out, a solar oven can help keep your family fed. What is your emergency preparedness plan?
