In the Summer of 2011 our grill saw it’s last cookout. It was a Father’s Day gift for my husband back in 2003 and saw us through many great summers. Don’t worry, it didn’t go to a landfill, it went to a man that enjoys fixing them up and giving them new life. Last summer,… more

Would you pick food out of a public trash can and eat it? Would you take an unknown pill? Would you drink brown water? For most of us the answer is no, we wouldn’t eat from a public trash can, we wouldn’t risk our lives and our bodies with unknown pills and brown is certainly… more

Last January my family started a journey towards eating a more natural, local diet.

It will be worth it!
| August 4, 2012 | Posted by Kelly under From God's hands to our mouth, God's Hands, Simple Living |
Back in January, my family and I started eating from “God’s Hands”, as we like to call it. Basically it was “clean” eating more or less. For us it meant only eating what God grows or makes and what we can make from those things. We ate meat, fruits, and veggies. We ate butter and… more
