Creating Peace and Joy Where it Matters Most
Have you ever looked at the back of a box of store-bought granola bars? The ingredient list is quite lengthy. Products that have more than 6 to 8 ingredients usually cause me a little concern. Especially when some of them are not recognizable as real food in the slightest. Thankfully, it is easy to make [...]
I make these cookies so often it is laughable. The entire family enjoys them. Even my husband, who doesn’t really care for cookies. In fact, I think he asks for them more than anyone. These oatmeal cookies are not overly sweet and full of real food ingredients. The batter itself is pretty good, too. I [...]
If you are following along with the baking cup fiasco, in which I order 4,320 baking cups by mistake, you might be happy to know that Azure Standard is allowing me to return two of the boxes! Hooray. So, now I only have 1, 440 baking cups. Still more than the 180 I intended to [...]
It seems that kale is the new super food of choice. No matter what healthy eating philosophy you follow, kale is always recommended. Kale chips are also a growing in popularity. After seeing kale chips mentioned so many times, I had to try them myself. I purchased a bag at my local health food store [...]
I love roasted almonds. Do you? My family enjoys roasted almonds much more than raw ones. I’m thankful that it is so simple to roast them myself. It’s also not too hard to prepare some fancy spiced nuts that are suitable for gift giving. I’m sharing how to do both at Simple Homemade. Read the [...]

My kids are hungry all. the. time. Are yours? Having enough healthy snacks on hand makes a difference to the tone of my home. It’s a struggle to stay on top of snacks sometimes. especially when your striving to provide good ones. If you need ideas, check out my post at Keeper of the Home. [...]
This month, Hyacynth posted a Simple Swap challenge that was right up my alley: Swap out unhealthy fats for healthy ones (replace with coconut oil, if possible). As you may (or may not) know, I like to use coconut oil in cooking and baking. For some reason I still get a little nervous each time [...]
This is the quickest yeast bread recipe I have ever come across. It only requires one rising instead of two, which means I can go from grain to hot, yummy bread in about an hour! (I also use a Bosch mixer which speeds things up a little.) From my studies it seems that sourdough is [...]
This week the High Five Moms are sharing about preserving Fall’s harvest. Nothing says fall to me like freshly picked apples! I planned to share an applesauce recipe with you, but there are so many great tutorials on the web already, it seemed a bit redundant to add another here. So, after you’ve made (or [...]
