Healthy, staple foods must become what we cook. Cooking For The Health Of It, focuses on the necessity of stocking up on adequate supplies and resources. Keeping the healthiest and the freshest supplies available for cooking is a daunting chore, and especially where the growing season is exceptionally short.

Growing your own foods is a joyous undertaking; though, hard work, severe weather and volatile markets demand for dedication and perseverance.

Farmers markets are a splendid alternative to physically growing your own, especially if you have a brownish thumb as my own.

Though, I do strive year after year to grow a garden, and get by with producing the bare minimal quantity that my family can use.

Dibs to all you Master Gardeners reading, hats off to you! Everyone appreciates a beautiful garden, not to mention a productive one. An easy, no fuss garden is a must have for all busy moms and caregivers whom dont take great privilege in spending excessive hours in the soil.

Here is O.L.'s sure-fire, no hassle gardening method, because it doesnt take acres to feed your family. Simple garden boxes, or frames are all that is needed. Clear area or patio and arrange boxes as desired. Once boxes are located for best direct sunlight, fill box with layers of the following:
