How to completely clear off your kitchen counters at LiveRenewed.com

Around this time last year, I completely cleared off my counters. As in, I removed everything from my counters except for soap by the sink and a small aloe plant. It was AMAZING. One night when my hubs and I were taking a walk after dinner, I told him that I thought completely clearing off the counters had changed my life. He chuckled and told me I was being a little dramatic. But I was serious. It really did change a lot of things about my life that were causing me stress and making me … [Read more...]

Quick and Easy, One Skillet Cheesy Taco Mac Recipe at LiveRenewed.com

For weeknight dinners, I'm all about quick and easy recipes like this Taco Chili Mac! I don't like to spend a ton of time in the kitchen when my kiddos are clamoring for dinner, and I definitely don't like to create a lot of dishes to wash later! One of my favorite things about bulk purchasing meat from a local farmer is that I always have meat ready to be defrosted! So often, I pull out a pound of ground beef from the freezer in the morning without really knowing what I'm actually going … [Read more...]

How to join a food swap for homemade food in your area!

  This is Day 328 of the Green in 365 series! By Sara from Your Thriving Family, Contributing Writer Don't you love homemade foods? That seems to be a huge selling point when looking at labels in stores. "Tastes just like homemade!"

Southwestern Frittata from The Breakfast Revolution by Beth @Red and Honey

What do you usually eat for breakfast every morning? What do you feed your kiddos for breakfast? I'll admit, it's really easy for me to fall into a lazy rut that often leads to not-so-healthy breakfast choices. Even though I'm committed to feeding my family real and whole foods, that commitment definitely wanes at 7:00 AM when I'm trying to get everyone dressed and ready and out of the house on time. So when my friend Beth of Red and Honey said that she was coming out with a real food … [Read more...]

  This is Day 222 of the Green in 365 series! By Renee from Joyful Mom:  Last summer I had some grand ideas about canning!  After all, I had a long history of canning within my Polish community growing up - I was the youngest girl and my hands were the perfect size for cleaning all of the small mouth jars! I loved my role as chief bottle washer and the accolades that I received from all the women. So as an adult I thought that it would be a natural progression in my "being … [Read more...]
