That chewy, dense texture sometimes found in roasted pumpkin seeds can really turn people off from the whole Halloween tradition – but it doesn’t have to be that way. You can make totally crispy pumpkin seeds from your jack-o-lantern (and other fall veggies) and the method might surprise you. The trick is to soak them
This post is from KS Contributing writer Becca Stallings of The Earthling’s Handbook. It’s late afternoon, and you’re stuck at home with the kids, no car, cold rain outside, and a menu plan that calls for fresh ingredients that you were going to get at the store – before your plans changed. The kids are

This recipe for healthy granola bars was one of the first favorites here at KS wayyyyyy back in 2009, and I’ve since improved it quite a bit since then as I republished Healthy Snacks to Go – no coincidence that it’s one of the most popular eBooks here! Scroll to the end of the post for
School is under way. That means two things. That doesn’t mean throw in the towel, buy boxes of cereal and say a prayer your child stays healthy. No way! That means it’s time to get smart and start the day with a nutrient boost that supports the immune system and provides critical vitamins and minerals

What kid doesn’t like mashed potatoes? It’s a favorite at our house even if I don’t have gravy, but I’m always looking for ways to reduce the starchy foods and incorporate more low-carb, nutrient-dense veggies onto our plates. This recipe is basically a “mashed potatoes” substitute but with…cauliflower! It’s a great swap, because first of

We’re all trying to add more vegetables into our diets – from steamed vegetables to dehydrated vegetables to roasted veggies. That’s why I have The Best Produce to Stockpile. Today, we’ll be covering fermenting vegetables! All it took was one bite. I was hooked. A friend had offered me a small jar of her homemade sauerkraut
I took our Instant Pot camping for the first time this month, and it was a huge success! I’ve used the Instant Pot (an electric pressure cooker) before for many things, although I still think I might only know the tip of the iceberg as far as its potential (I’m a stuck-in-a-rut kind of gal

I’ve always been someone who wants to have a signature dish. You know, the kind you become famous for – and maybe even have people beg you to make it for them. My mom has several signature dishes (oriental lemon chicken being among them). And while they taste DELICIOUS, they are also a labor of love
I get a little cynical when it comes to single-serve cups of “food” that I see in kids’ school lunches. If you read the ingredients, almost none of them are things I have in my kitchen – except sugar. Which I only use sparingly. I’m not a big meanie and averse to all fun foods,

With summer in full swing it’s nice to be able to give the kids a cold treat without loading them up on sugar. Not to mention it’s way more fun to be playing outside then spending a bunch of time inside the kitchen preparing food! These frozen banana bites are fun to make and fun

There’s something very intimidating about cooking ‘real food’ for a large group of people, especially if you’re on a budget. Shoot, some days I feel like I can barely get food prepared to feed my family, so to feed a crowd means exponentially more time. And then there’s the idea of wanting to have food

It’s the kind of comfort food you pine for when it’s gray and cloudy outside. There’s not too much heat to make you want to avoid using the oven. And mashed potatoes on the side sound just right. In other words, it’s fair to say that when it’s cloudy, there’s always a chance of… You

You know how they say you’re not supposed to bank on the person you choose to marry actually changing at all to fit your liking better? That you should never expect to be able to mold or form that person to become the person you think they could be? We were talking about this over
I’ve been trying so many new things with this Instant Pot challenge! I’ve purchased a few kinds of meat I never tried before, and these “country style boneless pork ribs” that I bought for a Vindaloo recipe definitely count. I had half a package leftover (Costco!) and was getting a little tired of Mexican or

What’s the big deal with the Instant Pot, you ask? Why all the hype? I can tell you why I have learned to appreciate it: There are probably more benefits, and you’ll see some in the post about basic Instant Pot techniques like boiling eggs and cooking rice, but those are the biggies for me.
When you’re on a Whole30, you eat a lot of meat. Veggies too, TONS of veggies, which I love, but also definitely a lot of meat, because there’s no rice or bread to stretch the meal! Shredded chicken recipes like this one are a mainstay. It also works well with a Keto or Paleo approach.
Every parent wants their kids to be good eaters, right? No complaining. No throwing food. No refusing to eat vegetables. It’s a reasonable desire. Of course most kids do go through phases of eating more or less, phases of liking and refusing certain foods, phases of wanting to make their own food choices and willingly

Trying keto, Whole30, or Paleo for the first time? Ditching grains isn’t easy because something like rice is always a quick side dish to add to the meal. I mean, what do you put under shredded BBQ chicken (my Instant Pot keto recipe here!) or pulled beef barbecue or curry chicken? Cauli rice is simple
One-pot meals are the BEST. If you battle Mt. Dishes like we do, you know the sigh of relief you feel when your meat, veggies, and starchy side can all fit in one container and done! This one has a ton of nutrition, is super frugal, and tastes a teeny bit like lasagna. For real.
