Fat doesn't make kids fat. Carbohydrates make kids fat. If you feed your son low fat he will just end up fatter and miserable. Read "Why we get fat and what to do about it" by Gary Taubes before you do permanent damage.

A Paleo diet is a good way to go. Other than weight loss, people usually see a reduction in arthritis symptoms, type 2 diabetes issues, gout, etc... For me, I started at low carb and have slowly morphed to more paleo over the years. So far I cured my hypertension and blood sugar issues. Still...

Even though I am a total tightwad, I have to disagree about grandma. She IS NEVER going to share your values...unless through some strange set of circumstances she changes on her own (Like being struck by lightening or ending up homeless. Anything short of that...I wouldn't hold my breath). So...

First of all ... Second...wow. That is a toughy. Without invading your privacy too much, what are your monthly bills? Can you change cell phone plans? Cut cable? Change internet? When you can't cut anymore, then your only option is to try and create more income.

Hope you don't think this is a silly question, but around here the Amish dry their clothes outside in the winter, too. Do the clothes completely dry or just freeze and don't dry all the way? Not silly at all. My mom hung out clothes in the winter. We called it freeze drying Winter air is...

Hubby and I own a copy shop.

I'm also a conspiracy theorist, lol and I think it's all done on purpose to keep us poor simple and without recourse. But that's just MHO. I'm NOT a conspiracy theorist and I think this latest batch of crud has been totally done on purpose to herd the populous in a certain direction...

I would use a recipe from the Ball canning guide for the first time. You can get more creative once you know what you are doing.

How many of you are preparing for "what if"? That is part of the reason I bought ducks. I figured cute egg machines would be handy in case of job loss, complete economic breakdown or zombie apocalypse. Something I am noticing...today's homes don't have areas for storage. sigh I live in a...

jd, this is the recipe I use for hot sauce. Mmmmmm! http://www.vietworldkitchen.com/blog/2009/07/homemade-thai-style-sriracha-chile-sauce-recipe-tuong-ot-sriracha.html

I am sorta wondering about freezer meals now. Taking a day to make like 10 meals to pop in the freezer for use on busy days. That's what I do! I cook up soup, chili, crustless quiche, coconut flour muffins, etc... and freeze them. I usually use the frozen stuff for lunches, but sometimes if I...

YES! Knowing what the unit cost is (and how to calculate it if it isn't on that little tag) can save you a fortune. At our local Hellmart, it is often the middle sized package with the best price per ounce/lb/whatever. Not the largest like you would think.

Yes, definitely less than $10.

In Colorado it has been ILLEGAL for decades.

A recent study showed that over 90% of the water that hits the ground here evaporates, so they all actually "allowing" some people to legally gather rain water.

Out west water is scarce. So there are all kinds of wacky laws about water use out here.

Just a quick note on grains and beans... Done the right way they can be an inexpensive source of nutrition for you and your family. Done the wrong way, you can end up causing health problems and robbing your body of nutrition. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read this if you eat grains and beans...

There is a car wash near us that sells 55 gallon barrels for around $20. They get their soap in them. Might be a good barrel alternative.

The freezing trick usually works, but grain lasts longer if you buy the whole grains and then just grind what you need as you use it.
