I mentioned in my last post (BIY Bone Broth) that I had some more product reviews coming up. This time it’s a new coffee maker. I’m sure that many of you are familiar with the Ninja’s line of blenders, well know known especially among smoothie lovers. What attracks people to Ninja’s is not just how […]

{BIY} Bone Broth
It’s all the rage, especially for Paleo and GAPS diet followers. Sipping, slurping, and gulping bone broth. Food continues to circle around and now it’s back to broth drinking. I’m no stranger to broth drinking, except as a child of the 60’s and 70’s, drinking broth consisted of a very salty cube flavored with chicken […]
Happy Pi Day
In celebration of Pi day, I wanted to share our favorite Pi, Pizza Pie that is. Being a savory versus sweet and a geeky versus sporty family plus a food obsessed family, it just seemed appropriate. This little graphic from ThinkGeek was spot on for me, I have never grown out of loving a thin crust […]
{DIY} Whipped Body Butter
I made a goal of trying to blog more, still having a hard time etching out the time. This girl has a hard time saying no and seems to like to torture herself with the overfull plate. So here I am putting up a post, the first, in well, too long and it’s not even […]
Lobster Benedict
I never imagined that I would ever create a recipe using leftover lobster, because we have never had lobster leftover! However, getting such two large lobsters from lobsteranyhere.com changed that! What a special luxury to have lobster for breakfast; especially in the mountains of Montana. I would bet we were the only people in Montana […]
Homemade {DIY} Deodorizing Tabs with Essential Oils
Let’s face it, life stinks! I’m speaking literally here. Although life can figuratively stink, but it takes a little more than simple deodorizing tabs to fix that stench. Speaking of the stench of life, the New Year always brings upon us, that reflective time. It’s the time we realize that we pretty much are […]
Culinary Blog Tour
Have you ever felt that you made a friend through the internet although you’ve never met them? It happens sometimes through social networking but it happens BIG TIME in the blogosphere. Like minded bloggers are big supporters of each other. It’s a special little community that you build and you can’t help but feel personally […]
Farm 2 Table : Chef Tasting {a pictorial review}
This last Saturday I was delighted to experience a Farm to table chef tasting put on by our very talented Janet Neil, Chef/Owner of Bert & Ernies Tavern here in Great Falls. Janet collaborated with many of our local farmer’s and businesses to put this event together. I could ramble on in great detail but […]
Kuhn Rikon Kochblume Spill Stopper {Product Review}
It’s very rarely that I do a product review. Mostly I have a love hate relationship with kitchen products, gadgets and gewgaws (yes that’s how you really spell “gee-gaws” and yes it really is a word…thanks spell check and Dictionary online for clearing that up for me). New kitchen items are so exciting, there’s this […]
DIY: Organic 3-Ingredient Coconut Sugar Body Scrub
Two weeks ago I was assigned Mangia! For my Secret Recipe club assignment. I mentioned that a couple of things caught my eye. One in particular was Chelsy’s 3-Ingredient Coconut Body Scrub. I didn’t make it because I didn’t have coconut sugar and, well, it really isn’t a food recipe (even though it’s completely edible). […]
