March 1st is literally around the corner and the site will be open to the public and you no longer will be logging in to enjoy your recipes.
In the meantime, we are busy working in the background. One thing that is in question (on our end) is the FAVORITES FEATURE that allows you to compile a list of your favorite recipes on the site. We are not positive if this feature can or will remain on the site once the change over happens.
So… if YOUR favorite list is important to you, please copy and paste the links to your computer. Once I find out more information I will let you know! Have a wonderfully happy day! amie sue

Petite Lemon Blossom Cupcakes

Cake & Pies, Desserts | Sweet Treats | Free

For the love of all things adorable and tiny! These cupcakes made me smile every step of the way. The pan, the itty bitty liners, the little cupcake batter balls, and the frosting! We can’t forget the frosting. I was piping and dancing around the kitchen to one of my new Pandora playlists; Fly Me to the Moon Radio. All the songs this list has been playing makes me glide all over the kitchen. So what if it took me three times as long to make them, I was having fun!

Recovering the Lost Art of Preparing Foods from Scratch

 Members Only, #2 - Successfully Transitioning Your Diet

The task of preparing food at home, from scratch, is close to being added to the list of extinctions. With takeout options galore and grocery store convenience foods, it seems that our culture is quickly losing the art of preparing food at home, let alone from scratch. For me, the thought of cooking from scratch conjures up feelings of warmth, home, and comfort.

#3 – Cleaning the Fridge and Freezer

 Members Only, Kitchen Organization Basics

The fridge is the hub of your kitchen. The fridge doors are most likely the most used doors in the house. We depend on it to safely store all of our perishable foods until we’re ready to use them. Unfortunately, the refrigerator takes a lot of abuse. We stuff it full. We forget about leftovers. We leave spills until they’ve crystallized. Then we complain when there’s even the slightest unpleasant odor. (throws hands in the air)

Nourishing and Quick Snack Ideas

 Members Only, Quick Nourishing Meal / Snack Ideas

Throughout the years, I have been a snacker, and then at other times, I haven’t. I go through phases. Right now, I don’t have any fast rules about snacking, some days I do, and some days I don’t. The key to snacking is to have healthy snacky foods readily available in the pantry, fridge, or freezer.  There are a LOT of things that I love about a raw whole food diet, but one thing that is a huge bonus is that most raw recipes can be easily frozen. Click on the link above and let’s explore the world of healthy snacking! blessings, amie sue

#7 – Knives that I Recommend

 Members Only, Knife Essentials - everyone needs to learn this (6 lessons)

Knives are a valuable tool to have in the kitchen… a sharp one that is. Some of you may not be aware of this, but a dull knife can cause more harm than a sharp one. When you have to saw back and forth and use downward pressure while cutting, there’s a chance for the knife to slip and knick a finger or two.

Start off on the right foot after purchasing the ripest, freshest produce. Below is a list of fruits and veggies that I put together. I realize that I hardly scratched the surface, especially for those of you who live in other countries. Use the “best by” time frames as suggestions. The timing will be determined by how fresh and ripe they are once you bring them home.

#3 – How to Grip a Chef’s Knife

 Members Only, Knife Essentials - everyone needs to learn this (6 lessons)

This may seem odd, but before you start preparing food in the kitchen, before wielding a knife in your hand… take a moment to ground yourself. Become present and get a grip (pun intended). If there is chaos around you (kids running, dogs barking, your husband has a cold, etc.), take a moment to calm the situation before picking up the knife.  Being flustered and distracted can lead to injury.
