THRIVE Creamy Garden Vegetable Chowder
You could choose to eat this Thrive Creamy Garden Vegetable Chowder either as a lunch or dinner for two or as a side dish as we did the other night: Thus far we’ve been very happy with every Thrive Life Express package we’ve tried; heck, even my kids usually wanted more which isn’t normal of…

THRIVE Scrambled Egg Mix
Eggs, along with dairy (such as cheese, milk, etc) and meat are among the more important foods to include in your food storage but are also difficult to add yourself.

Homemade Breadsticks: Better Than Olive Garden Breadsticks!
Last week I showed how we make 6-ingredient DIY whole wheat bread.

Granted, I do like anything with chocolate–fudge brownies certainly qualify–and I can truly say that about the only thing better would be 100% homemade from scratch. Seeing as though I’m not about to…

One Reason NOT to Rely on a SHTF Vegetable Garden
Seeing as though the traditional gardening season is coming to an end for most of us, it got me to thinking about the many months until the next gardening season starts, usually in March or April. Yes, yes, I know you can grow root crops and there are such things as cold frames and greenhouses…

Meals in a Jar: Beans and Rice + Veggies
Last weekend we had the opportunity to make some meals in a jar which are without a doubt the ULTIMATE in time-saving inventions since sliced bread was invented. 😉 Actually, they’re far more useful and convenient than even sliced bread. Anyway, meals in a jar are also great for when you’re feeling lazy and you…
