We froze everything from blended leftover steamed broccoli to spaghetti and meatballs in ice cube trays. A quick thaw and warming of one or two cubes made a simple and healthy meal for her.

Fast-forward 40 years, and now I have a blog called FindYourEasy.com on living a simpler and more natural life, raising chickens, and family recipes. I found your site while looking for advice on raising chickens in a cold climate.

There’s a lot of value in “real food” and trying to avoid the toxins that are everywhere. Thanks for helping to spread the word.

I was in a convo w/my daughter, Holly. She was a vegetarian when her children were born. She even started her children on vegies, she never bought jars from a store. Everything she did was working or trading fresh produce, eggs & anything she could get that was not full of chems. When her children got older they chose real food over candy. Holly only buys MAPLE SYRUP! I sent her you article, I hope she reads it, idk if there’s a trader Joe’s where she lives but they do have Costco. I think after she reads what I sent her, she’ll look for more ways to keep her family healthy. Her children are now 20, 17 & 10. Holly’s children still prefer real food opposed to sugary snacks. I’m going to try “REAL MAPLE SYRUP” fir the first time. Thank you for sending you messg out there on internet so I could read it for free.

Nice to meet you. I have caught the same bug and can’t get enough of real food. Nice to meet some other Mom’s on the same path. I have been blogging too. It feels so important in these times to help other people who are challenged and do not know where to turn. I think together we all can make a huge difference. Here is to being smart empowered women, taking back what it means to be a Mom and thriving. Have a great day. Kim http://www.unbusyonpurpose.com Simple Artful Living

My daughter told the mother of one of her class mates that the ice cream van sells ice cream was made from pigs fat. Whilst looking horrified she sweetly replied I don’t think so darling as she bought them for her children and threw me a some what odd look! My daughters’ beverage of choice is also kombucha and she is also partial to a side of natto these days. All the best and I am just about to try your deodorant recipe 🙂

I do not know about making them for pets. I know many people dehydrate scobies for their dog but I have never done that (I don’t have any pets) so am unclear. If you dehydrate at a low temperature (as low as your dehydrator will go) the probiotic element should be fine.

I am so excited about scoby snacks..how do you know they keep their probiotic value after bring dehydrated?can you make them for pets .? I would love to make this for my cat and dog..but my dog has diverticulitis and I have to be very careful about her diet..but I love the probiotic element.

Thank you
