Another MHBB possibility

Anne in Oz keeps her hubby healthy with these herby salads. I’ve seen many of these mentioned in Prescription for Nutritional Healing so I’m trying to grow some of them again this year, but I was unsure how exactly to use them fresh. Now I don’t have to wonder, as Anne shows how [...]

Lasang Pinoy 22, Rice to the Challenge: The Puto Experiments

Judging from the requests I get here, by e-mail, from friends, etc., making Philippine puto is one of the biggest mysteries of our cuisine. Traditional recipes aren’t easy to find, and even people who used to make puto the old way seem to have resorted these days to the use of wheat flour. [...]

Allergy-Free Birthday Cake, Updated with an Allergy-Free Flour Formula

from my old baking blog:

Not a perfect recipe yet, still working on it, but getting close and the kids scarfed it up, especially drizzled with some non-dairy chocolate syrup.

cooking spray, oil or shortening for greasing pan
alternative flour for flouring pan (I used rice flour)
1 cup superfine sugar (or regular sugar, whirled in a blender)
115 grams [...]

Suki’s Naturals

I read about Suki’s Naturals in Organic Style several years ago. The company was started by Suki Kramer who according to the article was “plagued with eczema as a child”.

Suki hand-makes everything, using no synthetic preservatives; all her printing is done locally with recycled paper and vegetable ink; products are packaged in [...]

Choosing a Multivitamin

It’s time to re-stock the multi-vitamin shelf! There’s a report I’ve been using for a few years now — I subscribe for 30 days and get my $10 report; I re-subscribe every year. To me it’s worth the $10 to know which vitamins are best for my family, and which ones are just [...]
