I wanted to give you all a head’s up as to what has been going on with me lately. For the first time in a long time, I’ve been so busy that I don’t even have much time to myself. To me, this is not a good thing. I don’t think being this busy is very healthy, at…
Is Healthy Eating for the privileged?
| August 24, 2012 | Posted by under Gardening, General Content & Rants, Groceries |
I’ve had this ongoing debate with friends and family regarding food choices. Initially, some people accused me of being privileged as my partner and I spend a lot of money on good food. What do I mean by good food? *Organic and/or local (in season ONLY!) *Little to no processed food (if processed, I generally buy organic with no…
It’s not me, it’s them: How I healed by acknowledging the truth

First of all, I want to thank all my readers who have supported me throughout my whole nasty depression and hard times. It’s been a very tough few years, the worst of my life. When I am living in Toronto, I will write a story about what happened to me here and my demise. I am not…

I haven’t been sharing a lot with you regarding what has been going on with my life lately. I’ve been having a tough time keeping up with both blogs as I am tackling house chores for moving which is taking a lot of my time. I am also trying to handle the heat and mugginess…
Recipe: Wild Blackberry & Strawberry Jam
| August 13, 2012 | Posted by under Food Recipes |
I scored some wild blackberries while visiting another farmer’s market in the province. We’ve been visiting a different farmer’s market weekly. The one we just visited this weekend was by far my favourite one! I had to pay $10 for two quarts of wild blackberries but it was worth it. I’ve been hunting for them…
Reduced-Sugar Raspberry & Blueberry Freezer Jam
| August 9, 2012 | Posted by under Food Recipes |
I have been wanting to make a mixed berry jam with blackberries but I have yet to find some! So I decided to use the local raspberries and blueberries I found at the market last weekend. This jam isn’t as thick as some jams, but the lower sugar content is perfect because you can truly…
Back Alley Feasting: Affordable Local Food
| August 7, 2012 | Posted by under Frugal Entertainment |
The past month or so, I’ve been trying to frequent establishments which serve local food, especially ones I haven’t been to yet. My goal is to get good food but not pay a lot of money for it. It’s tough to do that around here as the local food movement is in its infancy and…
How to Have a Successful Yard Sale

I wrote about this two years ago. Here is the post: YARD SALE BASICS which covers almost everything. We had music playing, we served coffee and I made some treats to sell. Having a yard sale is hard work and I admit that I prefer not tackling it alone. My mother will be flying in…
