Field Roast Frankfurters Review + Drunken Franks Recipe

Drunken Franks

I know I’ve mentioned Field Roast a gazillion times on this blog. I know! But it’s a product I really believe in. Something so flavorful and delicious really doesn’t deserve a name like “meat substitute,” but if you haven’t heard of Field Roast, that’s essentially what it is–it’s a vegan line of grain meats that [...]

Eco Natural Soap Review + Giveaway

Chef's Friend Soap

This may come as a shock to you (so brace yourselves!), but I do a lot of cooking. A lot. Two of my favorite ingredients to cook with are garlic and onions. I can’t think of many cuisines that don’t make liberal use of at least one of the two and it often seems like [...]

Baking With NuNaturals Stevia | Crustless Cardamom Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

Crustless Cardamom Sweet Potato Pie with Stevia

I’ve found that I’m very sensitive to non-sugar sweeteners. If it’s not sugar, I can always tell. And usually I don’t like it. Because of this, I’ve never really gotten on the stevia train. When NuNaturals contacted me and asked if they could send me samples of their stevia, I decided to try baking with [...]

Recipe | Wild Mushroom & Potato Pizza on Whole Grain Naan

Wild Mushroom & Potato Pizza on plate

There’s a little song by a band called Cinderella that’s called “Don’t Know What You’ve Got Till It’s Gone.” (Stop judging me for my encyclopedic knowledge of hair metal! Every rose has its thorn.) And when it comes to restaurants, my husband and I didn’t know how good we had it in Madison until we [...]

Guayaki Yerba Mate Review + Giveaway

Guayaki Mate Chocolatte

I believe that it’s important to support businesses that give back to others. As a consumer, I like to know that my money is going towards companies that are ethical and socially responsible. Guayaki is a yerba mate company that lives up to these standards and then some. Yerba mate is a beverage that originated [...]

Crafting with Cat Hair Review

Crafting with Cat Hair Review

I guess publishing this review for Crafting with Cat Hair confirms that I have ventured into crazy cat lady territory. But before you judge me, think about this: wool comes from sheep. So if we use sheep hair to make wool, what’s wrong with using cat hair to make wool? OH YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT, nothing! [...]

My Visit to the J.R. Watkins Factory

Alexander Mansion Winona

As most of you know, last week I had the chance to visit the headquarters of J.R. Watkins Naturals in Winona, Minnesota with four other bloggers (Micaela from Mindful Momma, Jodi from Mom’s Favorite Stuff, Jennifer from Savoring the Thyme, and Lori from Groovy Green Livin). I was super excited about this trip because J.R. [...]

ModKat Litter Box Review

ModKat Litter Boxes

I love my cats, I really do. But one thing I hate about having cats is that so many things made for cats are just not my taste. At. All. I’m not really into cutesy things and the utilitarian litter boxes and scratching posts are okay, but they lack personality. So naturally, I’m loving the [...]
