We have yet to delve into the raw dairy world due to my not having time to do the research and switch ~ but I hope to go down that road sometime too. Thanks for sharing your great ideas on your blog ~ it is definitely a great place to go for altered recipes. :)<br /><br />Have a fabulous evening!<br />CamilleCamillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838089502798643241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-13430804389558636792010-02-04T15:00:33.010-08:002010-02-04T15:00:33.010-08:00We have the exact same philosophy when it comes to...We have the exact same philosophy when it comes to this kind of stuff! My bread machine and waffle iron are the only things I own that have a non-stick coating because I can't find anything else. The only thing I really do differently from you is I don't use refined sugar at all and I use Tooth Soap (I'll have to post on it some time). Your are better than I am about adding fish to your diet. I love shell fish, but rarely eat salmon or anything like that. I hadn't had a chance to read this post before I replied to your email, so I see that you already knew about soaking beans, cooking them and freezing. You're awesome, Girl! You are so right about baby steps. I feel like I've got a pretty good handle on food and raw dairy, so now I'm learning more about natural cleaning. I love it!<br /><br />Have an awesome day,<br />JackieCheesemakin' Mammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12654726238107266586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-79161244171406877552010-02-01T18:57:01.931-08:002010-02-01T18:57:01.931-08:00Michelle ~ May the Lord give you wisdom as you see...Michelle ~ May the Lord give you wisdom as you seek Him for it! What a great blessing to know HE is leading and directing us and will give the needed wisdom as we ask for it ~ how wonderful to rest in that thought. :)<br /><br />Mavis ~ I am so glad you are enjoying the refried beans.

I cannot remember the last time I used it for food. I have used it to heat a rice pack and my wax for those few stray hairs on my chin, but we won't talk about that! ;-)<br /><br /><br />God is taking us to a new level with our diet. I continue to cry out for wisdom. so many bandwagons, like you said. I just want what He wants for us. I also believe it is important to rely on Him for our health and life. Yes, we do have to make wise choices, but our times are in HIS hands, not ours. <br /><br />Great job. Have a lovely Christ-filled week, friend.<br /><br />Clinging to His Faithfulness,<br />MichelleMichelle (She Looketh Well)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16815943256701375989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-10542540155758018272010-01-30T18:47:45.493-08:002010-01-30T18:47:45.493-08:00Dear J ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed this post...a...Dear J ~ I'm so glad you enjoyed this post...after all, you were the one that inspired it. :) <br /><br />It sounds like you are already doing SO much to take good care of your family.

I'd glanced at this post, but didn't have time to read it in its entirety, and then forgot to come back! :) <br /><br />I've implemented some of these same things, but have far to go! I was thrilled to read you don't have a microwave! I avoid using ours whenever possible...which has me thinking...I rarely use it. Ha! :)<br /><br /> We're on board with soaking oats (oatmeal), free range chicken and eggs...when available, grass fed, organic beef, organic milk, organic greens, and I'm moving in a more "natural" direction with cleaners. (Vinegar and water is my number one "go to.") <br /><br />My husband is on board! And quite supportive! <br /><br />Soaking oats has been our most recent baby step, and how DELICIOUS it is!!! <br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to compile this post. What a blessing! Again, I hope one day to share a cup of tea with you and to pick your brain! What a blessing and encouragement you are to me! I thank God for you!Wanting What I Havehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711989381690050970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-27756275602819149732010-01-29T13:26:25.136-08:002010-01-29T13:26:25.136-08:00Sorry ~ that should say "Tea Tree Oil"Sorry ~ that should say "Tea Tree Oil"Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838089502798643241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-71337482035357090352010-01-29T12:23:30.751-08:002010-01-29T12:23:30.751-08:00Nadine ~ Thanks!

And yes, baby steps is the only way to tackle all this! :)<br /><br />Lady Farmer ~ Your encouragement is a blessing...thank you! Oh...I know that the Tee Tree Oil works! Just drop it on straight (undiluted) and rub in. Be careful to not contaminate the bottle with infected fingers. :)<br /><br />Maria ~ Welcome! I agree with you ~ steel oats are yummy! And the free range eggs and chicken are much better ~ I especially notice a difference in the chicken. <br /><br />Esther ~ Oh thanks for the comment! It is lovely to hear from you here my friend! :) Good for you with your homemade soap and laundry detergent! <br /><br />Maybe when we are over for a farm day you could teach me how you do the grain soaking ~ I really want to expand my horizons. <br /><br />Oh yes ~ our Grandmothers would be SO proud! If only we would have thought to ask them for more of their wisdom while we could! <br /><br />Blessings,<br />CamilleCamillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07838089502798643241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-45579964464429606472010-01-28T18:18:57.290-08:002010-01-28T18:18:57.290-08:00Great post Camille!

I make laundry soap too which is also easy and so cheap!!!!! We grind our flour from organic wheat berries and I am learning to sprout beans and soak grains before we eat them. Yum, yum! Still so much to learn but we are having fun learning!!! Our Grandmothers would be proud!! :-)Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475146367546745899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-59996650346485589422010-01-28T18:13:38.487-08:002010-01-28T18:13:38.487-08:00Hi Camille!

...Hi Camille! Thanks so much for stopping by today!<br /><br />This is a great post on healthy living.<br />We try to just use free range poultry...and eggs. What a difference! Totally worth the price!<br /><br />Steel cut oats are so yummy... a lil' butter and honey... Mmmmmm<br /><br />I'll have to go back and read your post on healthy cleaning products... So much poison in our homes!<br /><br />God bless!<br />~joyfully~ MariaMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196112590905903539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-91514191086221545642010-01-28T17:52:14.929-08:002010-01-28T17:52:14.929-08:00Camille ~

Like Nadine, we have been trying to gradually make changes, too. <br />Thank you for the hint on Tee Tree oil and athletes foot. My poor hubby is in work boots from daylight till dark and does have this problem. I will be getting some Tee Tree and hopefully it will help. (I am just venturing out into the herbal/natural suppliments area).<br />Thanks again for the great info!<br />Blessings!Lady Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478162101957028151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345646302373200929.post-17065712127605885732010-01-28T16:33:46.455-08:002010-01-28T16:33:46.455-08:00An excellent post Camille!

We too are trying to make many of the same changes within our family. <br />The tip on cooking & freezing the beans is a good one - that is what I do and it makes life so much easier!<br />I am starting to make my own cleaners too...like you said - baby steps!<br /><br />Blessings!<br />~NadineNadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975125019581254008noreply@blogger.com
