Cooking Traditional Foods Menu Mailer

Are you new to whole and traditional foods or to "Nourishing Traditions"? Have you just gone gluten/dairy-free and don’t know what to eat?

The menu mailer covers 6 dinners (including side dishes) and one dessert every week.  It contains a full menu, shopping list, a preparation plan, and serving suggestions for each meal.  Tips and information are included in every mailer as well.

What makes the Cooking Traditional Foods menu mailer unique?  A preparation schedule is included with every menu mailer.  It reminds you when to thaw the meat, prep the crock-pot, make the stock or soak the grains.  Because lack of planning is a major hurdle in getting healthy meals on the table, this schedule helps you make sure everything is done.  It also contains blanks so you can write in your own reminders for breakfast, snacks and lunches.

Passionate Housewives Desperate for God

Biblical Womanhood

Biblical Womanhood began in 2005 as a ministry to encourage and equip women and young women. Through our bookstore, articles, newsletter, and blog, we desire to promote femininity and build up women as they embrace their Biblical callings. In this humanistic, feministic culture, we want to be a breath of fresh air to women seeking after something greater than what the world has to offer - to glorify the Lord in all they do, say, and think!

Make Your Own Wood Fired Water Heater

12:46, Monday, May 12, 2008 .. Posted in How-To .. 0 comments .. Link

I mentioned a while back about our wood fired water heater, and since then, I've had several questions. So here is a little info about it, along with more pictures. We are not experts, this is just how we did it. Whenever you working with something like this, do so at your own risk and with lots of care. It can be extremely dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. This is a full view of our water heater. The green & yellow foam are the water lines going into the house. We used foam "noodles" (for use in swimming pools) to help insulate the lines. The water heater it's self is covered with insulation to help it retain heat. The water heater is just an old gas water heater set on top of a sheet metal fire box.

this is the fire box that the water heater sits on

This is the valve to release water from the water heater (this is an emergecy valve)

This is the smoke stack on top of the water heater and a better picture of the insualted water lines that go into the house.

Here is a picture of the inside of the fire box. Marty is just starting to lay in the wood for the fire.

Here the wood is all layed in the fire box...all ready to be lit.

The fire is lit and the water will start heating!

Now here is some information that Marty wrote down for me...LOL!

1. Cut the sheet metal bottom off of the gas water heater. Build the fire box and set the water heater on top. Be sure and leave the T&P valve on the water heater.

2. Learn to make the right size fire. Don't depend on the T&P valve to release excess steam/water. It's both dangerous and wasteful. If you have any questions, email me and I'll see if I can get an answer from Marty :-)
