Why is flame retardant in my butter? Friday, January 18, 2013. Here, Fishy Fishy Fishy. I was posting the previous blog post onto my twitter feed (ahem) when my eyes caught this post from Slow Food USA:. Pacific Bluefin Tuna Overfishing. 8232; This, my loyal readers is TERRIBLE NEWS. Sadly, this news isn't new at all. 8232; First of all, show of hands: who even knew bluefin tuna was in this much trouble? But I was intrigued (after the date, he remarked that he was glad I didn't run out of the restaurant ...

Au Naturale: Where is the Au Naturale Drive-Thru??
http://aunaturalefood.blogspot.com/2013/01/where-is-au-naturale-drive-thru.html
Why is flame retardant in my butter? Wednesday, January 30, 2013. Where is the Au Naturale Drive-Thru? There is a post I wrote sometime in the past that I desire to link to, but am too lazy right now to dig around and find. It's about expanding waist lines, the ever-present Health Thing, and the fact that eating too much Au Naturale food is still eating too much food. Perhaps you can go look for it on your own? Tee hee. See what I did there? Someone look it up and let me know.). Granted, I could go out a...

the simple life ain't easy: February 2014
http://simplelifeainteasy.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
The simple life ain't easy. Sunday, February 23, 2014. I live in Jackson, MI - "Oh, do you work at the prison? I moved to Jackson in 2008. I do not have a lot of history with this town or with the prison that has had a part building its reputation. Under normal circumstances I would not give a lot of thought about the prison system in our society or how we can improve upon it. But I live in Jackson. And this is its history. Jackson's history was built with that prison, for better or worse. But from my li...

The simple life ain't easy. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Mommy wars, and content first. Most mornings I wake to yet another article from a powerful woman telling me if I can have it all. Though I'm not sure what have it all means, I'm damn sure it's an illusion. It's a fever dream - a unicorn living in a chocolate forest. It’s a magical place where periods and menstrual cramps don't exist. No woman will tell you they have it all, because they know that isn't possible. I’ve taken the perfect picture...

the simple life ain't easy: November 2013

The simple life ain't easy. Thursday, November 7, 2013. Coconut oil is all the rage right now. If it's on Dr. Oz. Be a super food, am I right? Coconut oil is being renowned as a cure all; anti-aging for skin, a miracle for the brain, and a heart healthy boost that you can even spread on toast. The way media and communication have advanced in the last 10 years certainly has contributed to the need to create a 'new' super food every 6 months or so. The truth is that nature has not changed. We are just ...

the simple life ain't easy: Lesson learned: Don't use hay as bedding in a chicken coop
http://simplelifeainteasy.blogspot.com/2014/03/lesson-learned-dont-use-hay-as-bedding.html
The simple life ain't easy. Monday, March 31, 2014. Lesson learned: Don't use hay as bedding in a chicken coop. It's amateur hour over here at Simple Life Ain't Easy. I'm pretty sure I was warned specifically about using hay for bedding in a chicken coop, but we all learn our lessons better if the mistakes are our own. My chickens free range most days of the week even during winter. I clear a few walking paths so they can get out and hopefully find some snow soaked grass to tear up. This week we finally ...

http://simplelifeainteasy.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
The simple life ain't easy. Wednesday, March 20, 2013. I have taken this intense interest in composting this past year. Yes, I meant to use the word intense. Intense like it occupies 80% of my thought process throughout the day, second only to basic survival instincts like breathing and eating. And why shouldn't it? The facts are this:. 70-90% of waste from a restaurant is compostable. 30-50% of household waste is compostable. 14% of municipal solid waste is compostable. And that has led to a big reducti...

Confessions of a Real Food Convert: It's ALIVE!
http://realfoodconvert.blogspot.com/2011/03/its-alive.html
Tuesday, March 22, 2011. I told you all about the seeds I bought. Several of my seed packs should be sowed by now. So, I decided to jump in with both feet. Imagine my excitement when I removed the cover today and found this:. March 24, 2011 at 6:26 AM. We went ahead and jumped to throwing our seeds in the ground. at least the ones that are supposed to be able to handle a light frost (and, of course, now weve got one coming tonight). Hope your garden does well. Keep us posted! View my complete profile.

Confessions of a Real Food Convert: January 2011
http://realfoodconvert.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 1, 2011. The holidays were extremely busy and I've been MIA from the blog. It seems like we were hardly home the entire month of December and I was not always proactive when it came to preparing meals from scratch. I'm hoping that the new year gets me back in the swing of things. AND, I'm really excited about using all of my new kitchen gadgets and cookware that I received for Christmas! My wonderful hubby bought me a tortilla press. I'm mostly excited about the 8qt. stockpot! Ironicall...
