Getting Healthy, Saving Money, and Living Well
It’s been awhile since I first posted my Homemade Coconut Milk Recipe.
It is, for sure, the easiest way to make coconut milk that you can find, but it did leave a little something to be desired.
Well, thanks to one of my super duper ingenius readers, I have a fabulous update for you!
Read on for the details 
. You’ll be glad that you did.
Today I’m sharing my Basic Almond Milk Recipe.
It really is the Easiest Almond Milk Recipe Ever. Seriously.
My “cooking philosophy” has evolved over the years. Health-wise, but also “simplicity-wise.”
Maybe you can relate.
I used to, but not to excess, mind you , pour over cookbooks (especially the dessert section – cough-cough), dreaming about everything I could make. Then I’d try a fancy recipe like Stuffed Chicken Breasts or Candy Cane Shaped Cookies Dipped in Chocolate.
Well, it’s not that this busy momma doesn’t still like to play in the kitchen (I think I told you all about my 2 days of attempting to make a dairy-free, sugar-free caramel so I could make mock Samoa Girl Scout Cookies), but times have changed.
These days I am forever looking for recipes and tips that will get good yummy food on my table with as little effort and time as possible. (Cause I already am stressed out to the max way too busy .)
So….today’s recipe is an example of one way I’ve managed to save a ton of time in the kitchen, while still making something good. [Read more...]

Why bother with a coffee substitute when the real thing tastes so good?
Well, there’s a lot of debate out there about whether or not coffee is healthy for you.
For folks without health challenges, there may be some reason to think it is OK, but for anyone with candida or adrenal issues or copper toxicity, I would say that getting off of coffee asap would be a good thing.
We can touch on that in another post, but today I would like to share with you a naturally caffeine-free alternative that tastes great and is good for you as well!
I personally got off of coffee about a year ago. It wasn’t easy and I will share with you how to do it at some point. But one thing that really helped was having another great tasting option that I could have every morning instead of that “cup of Joe.”
Ever wonder why it’s called “Joe”? Me too. Lots of theories out there on the web. Not sure which one is true.
Are you or someone you love suffering from lactose intolerance or dairy allergies? Or do you just run out of milk sometimes when cooking or baking?
Well, today I have an answer for your troubles that you and your wallet will truly enjoy (and the environment will love as well .)
We’ve been making our own rice milk for years now, ever since my son was diagnosed with a life-threatening allergy to dairy, over 10 years ago.
I must say, every time I see the price tags on those boxes in the store, I feel a small (or big ) sense of victory that I am not spending money on the packaging and processing. (Not to mention what a good thing making your own does for the environment!)
Just wait ’til you see how much money you can make….
You can read more over at Money Saving Mom. And what a bunch of inquisitive readers over there – there are lots of great comments, so be sure to read then and add your own, or come back over here if you have something to share.
It’s a bit easier for me to interact with you here, but no worries – either way I’ll connect with you !

Do you have a favorite “Make Your Own” technique to share?
Or something that you would like me to develop a homemade version of?
