Homemade Bread in the Sun Oven | Baking bread in a sun oven is so easy -- it yields bread with a nicely browned crust and a moist, soft inside, plus keeps your house from getting too warm in the summer and saves electricity. Plus, you get to pull up a chair and read a bit while it bakes! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Summer Shish Kabob Marinades | Shish kabob marinades... When I think summer, that's what I think of.

Our marinades are generally very nutritious and healthy anyway, but today I'm sharing 3 recipes with extra flavor from essential oils. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Foraging for Morels (and preserving methods)| Although we may still see a frost or two, spring has finally sprung here in northern Idaho.

Staying Fit on the Homestead | Eating healthfully is very important. However, there's another side of the coin: it's also very important to stay healthy through activity and fitness. We are aging and we need to keep up with our homestead's work load. Also, in the case of an emergency, we may need to fend for ourselves, confront challenging situations, and sustain a high level of endurance. Here's how my family and I stay fit on the homestead -- no gym required. | GNOWFGLINS.com
