Hello Everyone!!
Heath and I have decided to create a blog to share with our family and friends in order to keep them updated and also to track our goal of living more simplistically in a suburban neighborhood. As most of you know we are currently buying a house that we want to really make a home over the next few years!!
What will this site offer? First of all, it will take you through our journey of trying to live simpler. By simpler I mean becoming more self sustainable by consuming less and saving money. The best part about this is that you will get a piece from both of us! What I mean is Heath and I will both be contributing and writing posts about things that we are individually interested in. He will be posting about everything beer and more!! Such as brewing both malt extract and all-grain as well as sharing his own recipes and any tips he finds along the way. I will be mainly posting about homemade stuff (candles, cleaning supplies, soap, etc.) as well as GARDENING (eek!!!) and cooking! My goal is to share recipes that I have found that are healthier focusing down whole and local foods, price, and yumminess of course! I am going to strive to offer recipes with the price per ingredient as well as any interesting links I have found about any new ingredients I am trying.
Secondly, Heath got me the Moosewood Cookbook for my birthday this year and I have made it a personal goal to try to cook my way through this amazing cookbook in a year. I will share all the recipes both good and bad as well as what we thought of them, a picture, and anything I may have changed in order to make them better.
I hope all of you will follow along with our journey and possibly learn something new with us or offer us suggestions!!
