Why make it, when you can buy it?
Good question, why should you make it when you can buy it? It's so much easier to run out and buy plant fertilizer, than make it. Easier to flag down the ice cream truck than to make your own treats. More convenient to go buy that KFC meal deal with the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and coleslaw. Why should you take the time for homemade cooking? Why should you make anything yourself, if you can buy it?
I can think of a few really good reasons:
I think there is a lot to be said for homemade living, it is a skill that many people have lost in the "instant gratification" world that we live in. This website and blog is a record of my journey to learn to be more self sufficient and stop relying on others for everything in my life. If you are interested in learning too....follow me!

What do I write about in the Homemade by Jade Blog?
I write about different things in my blog, but mostly you will find posts on learning how to make things yourself. Homemade cooking, homemade clothing, homemade crafts and home grown food. It is surprising how little actually needs to be purchased ready made. You can make just about anything yourself, because before there were stores, that is how folks got things......they made them from scratch! I want to learn to be more self sufficient and self reliant and to live more simply. So in my blog you will find lots of homemade recipes, tips on growing your own food, fun craft projects and household tips.

Amazon is my favorite place to shop. With Prime you get two day free delivery and the prices are almost always lower than Walmart, Sam's or Costco

Another Old Farmer's favorite of mine is this awesome calendar. It offers beautiful full-color illustrations and timely gardening advice, fun facts, quotes, and garden lore.
Special Bonus: A "best days" table tells when to plant 36 vegetables and grains according to the Moon's phases and regional climate. |
