Why We Bought a Sleep EZ 100% Natural Latex Mattress [Review]
I promised myself that I would wait 6 months before I wrote this post. Now that it’s been 6 months since my family’s been sleeping on our Sleep EZ mattresses, I’m ready to give you the low-down on what we think about them and how we came to the decision to buy an organic…
Steak Roll-Ups Recipe + Xtrema Ceramic Cookware Review
When shopping for cookware, I look for pots and pans that are durable, healthy to cook with, and that I can clean easily. For years, I tried to avoid aluminum pans by cooking with cast iron. Pans containing aluminum are risky to cook with because the aluminum can leach into the food (that means they can be unhealthy and change the taste of your food too!).

A little while back, a subscription meat delivery company called ButcherBox contacted me, asking if they could include my Slow Cooker Pork Osso Buco recipe in one of their upcoming subscription boxes. Of course, I said yes. I was so excited to share this delicious recipe with more people.

Now isn’t that a ridiculous headline. But sometimes you’ve “gotta call ’em as you see ’em.” Two years ago, Barbara returned home from Bed, Bath & Beyond clutching a big box. “John,” she yelled, “you’ve got to see this. I found the Lamborghini of garbage cans.”
Healthy And Tasty Primal Kitchen Mayo Giveaway
Today is an exciting day! I am giving away a 3-pack of Primal Kitchen Mayo. Mayonnaise is a favorite condiment in my house, but the highly-processed store bought variety is not something I want my family eating. It’s filled with unhealthy fats, preservatives, and chemicals. I’ve tried making mayo by hand with real food ingredients,…
Review: La Pasta Gluten Free Cheese Ravioli
I rarely eat pasta anymore so I usually quickly pass by the pasta aisle of my local natural organic grocery store. Since going on a gluten free diet, I just never was thrilled with the taste of gluten free pasta. Maybe I just have high standards when it comes to pasta. Before going gluten free, I ate…

Is Your Lipstick Gluten-Free?
An article by Nicole on whether we should be using gluten free makeup. When I adopted a completely gluten free diet, it was quite an adventure making sure that every product that I bought did not contain any gluten. Gluten is a composite of proteins found in wheat. And let’s face it. It can be quite sneaky. Imagine…

Gluten Free Italian Sausage With Peppers at Citi Field
Go ahead, it’s gluten free! One warm evening this past summer, my husband surprised our family with last minute tickets to a Mets baseball game. Don’t you just love surprises? We all scrambled to get ready so that we could get there early and tour Citi Field (we hadn’t been to a Met game since…
Blendtec vs. Vitamix Blender Review
Here at the Homestead, I love crafting new smoothie recipes with organic fruits and vegetables. They’re the perfect way to incorporate more healing nutrients and fibers into one’s diet. When the folks at Blendtec contacted me to ask if I’d like to try out one of their blenders, I eagerly jumped at the opportunity, wondering…

Review: Bareburger Restaurant
As much as I love cooking and creating new recipes, sometimes it is very nice to spend the evening dining out at a restaurant, especially one that offers gluten free options on the menu. When a new restaurant called Bareburger recently opened in our neighborhood advertizing grass-fed burgers on gluten free hamburger buns, my family…
Review: Pillsbury Gluten Free Cookie Dough
When shopping at my local supermarket several days ago, I was delightfully surprised to see a tub of Pillsbury Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Could it be true? Had the Pillsbury Doughboy really gone gluten-free? Indeed, it seems this new line of gluten free products was introduced this past summer, but this was the…
