Is Your Family's Food Secure?   Feeding our families healthy food at a good price is always a parents concern. With the rising food and energy crises in the world prices are jumping sharply.
Hot Chocolate Our Canadian winters are long and cold.  A favorite treat during that time is our homemade hot chocolate.  Nothing taste better after coming in from shoveling the driveway sledding with the kids.  I’ve found this a much taster and cheaper alternative then buying little cans at the store.

Many families are feeling the squeeze at the gas pumps and the grocery store.  While politicians continue to talk about inflation getting lower, the real goods that make up most families spending are rising.

When trying to cut expenses one of the easiest areas to change is our grocery budget.  Your best choice is to buy only whole unprocessed foods.  When ever you buy food that has been precut or shredded you are paying a higher price for someone else to do that work for you.  Like wise if you are buying canned or frozen convince food you are paying for all the handling along the way, and the many unhealthy preservatives added to your food.

This is were we would like to help.  Teaching you how to cook healthy, inexpensive food for your family.  How to save by making your own cleaners and using cloth diapers.
