Real Food Hot Cocoa Mix
For the past 20 or so years, I’ve tried in vain to like coffee. I’ve used every trick in the book and out of the book. It ain’t happenin’. Because I find coffee unpalatable, The Stud muffin is convinced that we can never ‘go out for coffee’ unless we’re both drinking coffee.

Real Food Realities
Hello Food Hippies! Today I want to share with you, two posts written by two different bloggers. The first post is titled Dear Mom Who Can’t Afford Organic Food. This article was written by Erin over at The Humbled Homemaker. If you read this post and still manage to walk away with your Judgey McJudgey pants on, then you don’t ‘get it’. You simply don’t ‘get it’. The second post, authored by blogger Beth over at Red and Honey is titled Dear Middle Class America: I Have a Bone to Pick With You. This post hit me harder than the first only because after reflecting on some of the things I have shared…
