While the temperatures here are moderating as we reach the end of August, it is still great weather for (non-dairy) ice cream. It is easy to make and one of my all time favorites, bringing back for me memories of childhood creamsicles.

Busy-Beexwax Peppermint Lip-Balm
As always we face a number of challenges lacking easy solutions – life with or without ASD is never a straight line. Making lip balm at home has at least resolved the issue of persistent chapped lips, in a healthier, and more affordable way. This is an amazing, affordable lip balm with wholesome ingredients, the best I have ever used at any price point.

Passover Mushroom-Potato Pancakes
Earlier today – day 5 of Passover – I was looking through my bag of tricks for something new, something different … something for a truly satisfying dinner that does not involve matzah in any way, shape or form.

Mushroom Barley Soup

If its Sunday …
It’s time to make the granola! Sunday mornings are a great time to replenish our supplies, starting the new week with the slightly sweet nutty scent of fresh granola.

Vegan Mint Chocolate Ice Cream
