When you’re health-conscious and socially conscious, concerned about what goes into your body, and how our food is made…but you also have an incurable sweet tooth, what do you do?
We’re free-to-be over here at Clean Made. If you choose to shave or wax or neither or both, you do you: your body, your choice. But if your preferred flavor is au naturel, this post probably won’t interest you. All good.
However, if you like to keep it smooth as silk (the soy milk or the fabric, whatever), you might be interested in giving sugar waxing a whirl.
French fries are one of life’s pleasures and we’re happy to indulge when we can.
Since July is National Ice Cream Month, it only seems fitting that everyone should celebrate. So in addition to the dairy ice cream recipes we’ll be posting throughout the month, we have quite a few non-dairy nice cream recipes, too. Or, in this case, creamy, vegan freezer pops.
We’ve been ready for summer since the end of last summer, but the one drawback is bugs. Mosquitos, no-see-ums, ticks, ants, fleas — depending where you are in the country, you’ll have different creepy-crawlies to contend with, but no matter where live, one thing is universal: Those store-bought, toxic bug repellents are scary, can be actively harmful (especially bug sprays that contain DEET) and often unnecessary, especially when you can mix something just as effective but more gentle to your body, with better ingredients and oils you probably already have at home. There are dozens of recipes for DIY essential oil bug repellents online, but this is the one we make and we love it.
We’re lucky to live during a time when we have so many food options. We can go into most grocery stores — anywhere in the country! — and cobble together enough ingredients to make an allergen-friendly feast. Speaking personally, we couldn’t even say that five years ago, outside of straight-up meat and veg.
We’ve been drinking bone broth for years. Although, truly, if you want to get technical about it, we’ve been eating it for decades, because we grew up on soups of all sorts, most of them divined — alchemical-style — out of a pot full of water, some vegetables, and a big pile of bones. Bone broths have sustained us through childhood sicknesses, broken hearts, and most recently, through some nasty bouts of autoimmune crises. In so many ways, bone broth is life-sustaining.
Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere (south of the equator, it’s the shortest day). It is also known as midsummer, and has been traditionally marked with celebrations and festivals, down through centuries of humanity.
