How To Make Goat Milk Soap | The products we use on our body should be just as safe and clean as the food we put into our bodies. One of the best ways to make sure of this is to make your own bath and body products, and this tutorial will show you how to make goat milk soap. It's easier than you might think! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Allergy-Friendly Chocolate Custard | We are in love with this custard. It's thickened with mineral-rich and digestive-supporting gelatin and it's allergy-friendly. You can use whatever milk you'd like, so dairy-free is an option. And it doesn't need eggs (thanks to that gelatin). Make it now and it will be chilled by dinner time! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Quick and Easy Chicken Noodle Soup and Fluffy Cornbread from The DIY Pantry | Canned and packaged foods tend to be chock-full of preservatives, unhealthy fats, and other additives -- not to mention, they are usually expensive. But oh, the convenience! When my family and I started moving into eating GNOWFGLINS, I missed the ability to grab a packaged mix and pull together a quick meal. Not any more! Today, since it's January and the doldrums of winter have just begun to set in, I thought some nourishing comfort food from my book, The DIY Pantry, might be just the ticket. In our house, this chicken noodle soup and cornbread often grace our lunch table. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Cranberry Bread and Cranberry Cookies | I love taking family favorites and making them “new” using “old” methods. During the recent holiday season, my daughter and I decided to do just that with two recipes that we’d read about but never actually tried, both from the "Cranberry" books by Wende and Harry Devlin: Grandmother’s Famous Cranberry Bread and Maggie's Favorite Cranberry Cookies. We're on a roll and just might keep baking our way through the other "Cranberry" books! | GNOWFGLINS.com

A Traditional Twist on a Traditional Tale

Probiotic Water Kefir Tea | When I began to make water kefir, I ran into a problem pretty quickly: what was I going to do with it? All of the probiotic elixir coming out of my kitchen just couldn't go to waste! At first I mixed the water kefir with freshly-squeezed lemon juice to create lemonade, but soon my family wanted more variety. So... I experimented with tea. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Treating Migraines With Red Raspberry Leaf | Migraines are no fun. When I suddenly began getting migraines, always around my period, a friend asked me if I'd been drinking red raspberry leaf tea. I hadn't! So I did an experiment. Could I use red raspberry leaf for migraines? I did -- and it worked! Here's how! | TraditonalCookingSchool.com

How to Make (and Use) an Herbal Decoction | An herbal infusion uses the leaves, stems, and flowers of a plant. An herbal decoction, although very similar to an infusion, is prepared from the roots, bark, and seeds, and you might call it a concentrated tea. I'm going to show you how easy it is to make and use an herbal decoction. | GNOWFGLINS.com

Homemade Sourdough Cold Cereal | It's been fun to tackle the cereal challenge over the years, discovering everyone's preferences and searching for the perfect crunchy texture. This may sound silly, but we like a cereal that doesn't immediately go soggy once submerged in milk. For a long time, I achieved all of this with my oven, but my husband blessed me with an Excalibur dehydrator this last Christmas, which has greatly improved the texture of our cereal! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Save Money on Whole Food Supplements by Using a Capsule Filler | Are you taking any whole food supplements like maca, cayenne pepper, or spirulina? You can save quite a bit of money by filling capsules yourself with the less expensive bulk powder options. I did the math. We save around $10 per month on just one person's supply of one supplement. Here's the whole scoop! | GNOWFGLINS.com

The Big Flat Real Food Reuben Sandwich | Who knew that making a big honkin' loaf-sized sandwich and flattening it under cement blocks, rocks, or gym weights could be so fun (or so delicious)? I'd seen other Big Flat Sandwiches around the internet, but when Wardee first presented the idea of making a real food Big Flat Sandwich, I immediately knew I needed to try my all-time favorite sandwich -- the Reuben. | GNOWFGLINS.com
