Awesome web site!! It is so important to not only learn to do many of these things yourself, but if you must purchase, do more at local places to help keep the money in your community! Thanks for sharing, Cat!

We’re fructose-sensitive, so I make our lemonade with a few drops of liquid stevia. We sometimes do the same with straight cranberry juice, water, and stevia.

Thanks. It’s been about a week, and I’m just now finally feeling more like myself. Just really wiped out.

Comment on Frugal Health- The Benefits of Bone Broth by Cat, The Homesteading Mom

Hi Candace,

I had to do a little research on this because it’s not something I’ve ever heard of before. What I found was that gelatin can be high in Arginine, and low in Lysine, and those two conditions can aggravate herpes in some people. It is not recommended to stop all consumption of Arginine. In general, it is best to continue some consumption, but only to your individual tolerance. Hope that helps!

I have read that gelatin can aggravate herpes symptoms. Does the gelatin created by bone broth fall under the same category?

Comment on Why and How to Soak Grains, plus Oatmeal Recipe by Cat, The Homesteading Mom

I love the steel-cut oats and raisins! Unfortunately, I’m the only one in the house who does. My husband says that he, “doesn’t like the lumpies.” LOL But, he really does prefer the texture from the soaked rolled oats than regular rolled oats.
