A-B-C Muffins
| March 27, 2012 | Posted by eryn under Cooking, Organic, Paleo |
The A-B-C in this recipe stands for apples, bananas and carrots — three of the main ingredients. (I guess they could actually be called A-B-C-D muffins, since dates are a main ingredient, too, but A-B-C just sounded simpler to me.) This Paleo recipe is perfectly sweet but doesn’t use any refined sugar. The sweetness comes…
Tropical Traditions Gold Label virgin coconut oil — a review
| March 25, 2012 | Posted by eryn under Cooking, Frugal Living, Health and Safety, Natural Living, Organic, Paleo |
Coconut oil is a staple in our household. It is my go-to oil for cooking because it is a healthier option than butter or olive oil. We usually use Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, but I was recently sent a jar of Tropical Traditions Gold Label virgin coconut oil to review. I was very…

How to make your own coconut milk
| February 23, 2012 | Posted by eryn under Cooking, Frugal Living, Natural Living, Organic |
Coconut milk doesn’t exist. At least not in nature. That’s something I didn’t realize until yesterday, when my husband was perusing the Tropical Traditions website (now we know why they don’t carry coconut milk). Since we don’t eat dairy, coconut milk is a mainstay in our household. We prefer the Thai Kitchen brand because it…
