Homestyle Stock for Sustainable Living

Food waste is one of the things in life I get the most upset about. It’s terrible to see people wasting food. As a long time gardener and homesteader I know first hand how difficult and amazing it it to successfully grow food from seed to table or to raise an animal from birth to death. When we waste food we negate the sacrifices made to bring us the gift of it’s nourishment. Please don’t waste food. Take what you need, enjoy what you take and do your best to give back to the world that sustains you. Compost anything you can’t use for stock. Making stock is a delicious way to give thanks to the plants and animals that gave their lives to support yours. Drink on it’s own, use instead of water in soups or stews. Use it to cook pasta or potatoes instead of water. The possibilities are endless! Servings, Calories, and Macronutrients will vary depending on what ingredients you use.

3 Minute Protein Cereal

Try this easy meal idea when you don’t feel like cooking, have no meal prepped food, or are super busy. Protein packed cereal. By simply mixing a scoop of protein powder to your milk and adding in berries you take cereal to another level. Cereal and milk by itself is usually very low in protein and a hearty bowl can pack in the calories, but then leave you feeling hungry soon after. However, when you add in protein powder and high volume berries you can keep the calories in check while leaving you feeling more satisfied from this convenient and quick meal with longer sustained energy. Additionally, if you are using a super tasty protein powder like the ones from PEScience it makes it even more delicious than using plain milk with your cereal. Once you try it you will never go back! Serves 1 (calories and macros will vary slightly depending on the ingredients you use) 364 calories 29g protein 48g carbohydrate 6g fat

It empowers everyone to create, market and distribute a cookbook as both a web-based eBook and an iPad app. It also makes it incredibly easy for home cooks to discover and use amazing grassroots cookbooks they won't find anywhere else. Since 2012, we've published thousands of cookbooks authored by home chefs, nonprofit organizations, clubs, brands, etc. Our goal is to democratize cookbook publishing and make it easy to build an online library of amazing grassroots cookbooks.

How do I "download" a cookbook?

You don't need to "download" cookbooks or deal with any files. All of the cookbooks you select (free and paid) using Cookbook Café become available to you automatically on any device (computer, tablet or smartphone) whenever you’re logged-in to your free BakeSpace account.

When you see a cookbook you like, simply click the green "Get it Now" button. If you're not logged in to BakeSpace, you'll be asked to login (or join) so the cookbook can be added to your cookbook library. Once in your library, you can access the cookbook anytime, anywhere via BakeSpace.com, as well as our Cookbook Café iPad app.

While you're checking out cookbooks, also take some time to visit other parts of the delicious BakeSpace.com community where you can swap recipes and connect with others who share your passion for food and the culinary lifestyle.

Get ready to enjoy a uniquely smart and social cookbook experience!

Once a cookbook is added to your BakeSpace library, our proprietary recipe indexing technology makes it easy for you to find any specific recipe across all of your cookbooks… so there's no need to remember which cookbook contains that perfect recipe. In addition, you can connect directly with each cookbook author, leave comments/reviews and even ask questions about recipe substitutions, history, etc.
