Natural On A Budget

The Cozy Leaf $25 Giveaway!

2012-02-02T13:18:00.000-08:00

My friend Abby makes some of the best loose leaf, artisan tea I have ever had. I love that I always know exactly what is in it. She will even make you a special blend if you need her to. I asked her awhile back if she could come up with something similar to Tazo's Passion Tea. This morning she had me try some of what she had made. It was almost exactly the same flavor!!

If you would like to try some of Abby's incredible tea you can go to her shop, The Cozy Leaf, and browse around or you can go to her facebook page and enter to win a gift certificate worth $25 in FREE Cozy Leaf products.

Abby also homesteads in the middle of the city along with homeschooling. I don't know where she gets all the energy! If you are interested in homesteading on a small acreage you will want to check out her blog, Homestead Roots.

Black Bean Quesadillas

2011-09-15T14:51:00.000-07:00

I am always on the look out for great vegetarian recipes to help keep the budget down. My mother-in-law gave me this recipe and I have to say that my husband loved it. It was so easy to make and you should have all the ingredients you need already in your pantry.

All you should need to add to these is a small salad or some veggies to finish it off.

Black Bean Quesadillas

1 can black beans, drained
1 Tablespoon sour cream
1 Tablespoon salsa
1 clove garlic
1/2 Tablespoon red onion
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon water
3/4 cup shredded cheddar
1/2 avocado

1.) Combine all ingredients except for cheese and avocado in a food processor and blend.
2.) Place mixture onto 3 tortillas and top with avocado and cheese. Fold in half and grill on a skillet at medium high just until warmed and browned.

100 Days Of Real Food

2011-09-13T20:28:00.000-07:00

I ran across a fun blog yesterday called 100 Days of Real Food. The blog is run by a mother who along with her husband and 2 children decided to challenge themselves to eat nothing but real, unprocessed food for 100 days. They have finished up their first 100 days and are working on a second round.

This website is full of great recipes and ideas for how to eat real, whole, unprocessed foods. You can even download 4 complete meal plans, one for each season of the year. There are also sections for eating out, budgeting, and getting your children on board. You should check it out.

In fact, they have issued a 10 day real food challenge for anyone who wants to sign up. I think I may have to sign up myself. Even though I try to eat healthy, real foods it is tempting to buy the healtheir version of a processed food when I am short on time.

Children's Oxylent Fizzy Vitamin Supplement

2011-09-13T20:11:00.000-07:00

I recently discovered these fun fizzy vitamin packets at a local health food store called Children's Oxylent. They are a bit on the expensive side, so I decided to try and find them a bit cheaper. Amazon has the best price I have been able to find so far since you can get free super saver shipping. They are priced at $25.67 for a pack of 30 sticks or $.86 each.

My kids love the fact that they are able to mix up the drink themselves and it really does start to fizz. Since we do not allow the children to drink soda very often this is an extra special treat.

Here are the specifics about these packets...

Children's Oxylent contains a balance of high quality nutrients, including all the B vitamins

Contains 800 IU of vitamin D3, along with calcuim and magnesium

Vitamin C and D along with the mineral, zin, promote the health of your child's immune system

A formulation with just the right dosage for kids over 4

Cold and flu season is just around the corner. Now is a great time to get stocked up on immune boosting supplements.
