every day's just like starting over
and that's not always a good thing
This time I went to Natural Grocers to buy a group of different bars/snacks to try in anticipation of taking some on our backpacking trip. I have to say I didn't look at the ingredients list of any of them, so I didn't realize some of them have soy nuggets (crisps) in them, which is… Continue reading Many, Many Bars
Once again I had to go to REI to return something, and decided to try the Pro Bar Meal On- the-Go bar (Banana Nut Bread) again and a couple more flavors of that brand. You may remember in my last post that I thought that the Banana Nut Bread bar tasted stale and wasn't very… Continue reading Aaaand…more bars.
Since I was at REI yesterday to return a couple of things, I decided to buy some more bars to try in anticipation of needing snacks for backpacking this summer. Kangaroo had told me that the ProBar Meal On-the-Go bars were tasty, so I bought one of those, the Banana Nut Bread flavor. I also… Continue reading More Bars
Last week I went to REI to purchase various bars/snacks, in anticipation of our backpacking trip in August. I thought it best to try the bars before taking any on the trip, since you never know what they're going to be like. They may look good on the package, and their flavor may sound yummy,… Continue reading Bar Review
Recently we saw a TV commercial for this cleaner, and I thought it would be great to clean our horrible, yucky shower. The fact that we have very hard water, coupled with the fact that I don't clean the shower often enough, had made the shower and the non-slip mat at the bottom extremely horrifying… Continue reading Abracadabra
I bought these at Costco the other day because I thought they looked good, and probably because I was a bit hungry. Costco is dangerous when you're hungry, ha! I thought I'd review them because they're pretty tasty. I hadn't looked at the ingredients list until I got home, but was pleasantly surprised to see… Continue reading Food Review – Thinsters
I didn't make a video of the "unboxing" or setting up my new ZPacks Duplex tent, but here is the finished product: ZPacks Duplex tent with vestibules not staked out. Tent with vestibules staked out. End of tent. The tent wasn't hard to set up when I followed the instructions on the ZPacks video and… Continue reading The Tent
I want to recommend The Bethany Tales, Four Intertwined Stories of Restoration and Hope, written by Bryan E. Canter. The book looks at the lives of four people from the village of Bethany in the time of Jesus – Mary, Martha, Lazarus, and Simon. “These four tales use the creative gift of imagination to… Continue reading Book Recommendation — The Bethany Tales
So, the other day I was shopping for ingredients to make my own laundry soap (see how to do it on the Sugar Pie Farmhouse blog). As I was searching all over the store for what I needed, I happened to see these natural Sea Veggies snacks. They were expensive but sounded interesting, so I… Continue reading Sea Veggies?
I FINALLY have a chocolate chip cookie recipe that bakes properly in my obviously-factory-second oven!! The recipe is called “Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie” and you can find it here, if you like. I decided to look online because frankly, I couldn’t remember which of the 37 recipes I had tried had failed… Continue reading COOOOKIEEE!
