Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) had a lifelong passion for reading and writing. He authored his first book, The Naval War of 1812, at the age of 23 and earned a reputation as a serious historian. The book later became required reading at the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Over the course of his lifetime, Roosevelt authored 38 books on a variety of topics including history, public affairs, the military, hunting, and exploring the outdoors.
After the death of his first wife in 1884, Roosevelt set off to the frontier, eventually settling a ranch in the Dakota Territory with business partners. He met the unique characters of the Bad Lands–mountain men, degenerate buffalo hunters, Indians, and cowboys–and observed the changes to the West as it became more populated.
This book, Ranch Life and the Hunting-Trail, is a collection of essays that was first serialized in The Century magazine. Frederic Remington (1861-1909), then a 26-year old artist working as an illustrator, received the commission to provide 83 illustrations for the stories. The assignment was important to Remington’s early career and forged a lifelong connection with Roosevelt.
Remington’s engraved illustrations portray Roosevelt’s subjects in situations and compositions that Remington would return to thematically throughout his career.

Traditional versus modern medicine, and my take on nature-based therapies and herbal supplements
Looking back upon the centuries that mankind has inhabited this earth, it’s only been in the last few that “modern medicine” has dominated the health arena. Traditional medicines, such as herbal healing, nature-based remedies and natural supplements, used to be the norm, rather than the exception. From the healing waters at historical mineral springs and spas throughout Europe, Asia and America to the ayurvedic practices which date back for centuries, people have always been interested in improving their health and wellbeing through natural paths.
I love learning about nutrition and natural health, and sharing that information with others. I've used essential oils for well over a decade, and last year I wrote a smartphone app to help others learn about what oils can do. Oils Primer is available free for iOS, Android and Kindle devices.
There are a number of other natural therapies that I currently use or have tried, several of which I keep stocked in my long term supplies, including unrefined local honey, activated charcoal, elderberry concentrate, vitamin C supplements, colloidal silver, kelp (iodine), and cosmetic clay.
Recently, I was given the opportunity to try Shilajit, a biomass resin that is rich in minerals and nutrients. It is known in ayurvedic practice for being the best carrier of energy and nutrition into the human body.
For thousands of years Shilajit has been used to help support:
Energy Memory Mood Absorption of vital nutrients Enhanced potency and effectiveness of other nutrients Sharp intelligence Balanced blood sugar Efficient detoxification Optimal oxygenation and the body’s natural antioxidant response
I had not previously tried Shilajit, but was happy to give it a shot when Purblack offered me their product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review. According to the directions, one can either dissolve it in warm water, or simply take a pea-sized amount and chase it with a little water or honey.
Purblack's Shilajit comes quadruple-sealed to ensure it has not been tampered with, and the packaging is impeccable. The smell is pungent, but not terrible - I found the easiest way to take this was to follow the directions and dissolve it in a bit or warm water - I added a drop of peppermint essential oil to this to make it a little more palatable, and chased it with a glass of lemon water (I had also tried lemon oil, but I thought the peppermint was a bit easier to take).
After taking Shilajit daily for the past week, I can honestly say that I can tell the difference in my energy and mood. I've been able to focus on my work a bit more effectively, and, in part because of the conscious effort it's taken to remember to take the supplement daily, I've also been eating better, with less snacking (which in turn has helped with my energy level since my blood sugar hasn't been so up and down). Based on my initial experience with Shilajit, I will be ordering some more to stock in my long term supplies, since it looks like it will store well and keep a long time, just like my essential oils and other things I stock. What is in your long term storage to support the health of your family?

Vegetarian Brazilian Feijoada -Black Bean Stew
Brazilian Feijoada is a recipe for black bean stew originally developed by slaves to use lesser cuts of meat. We’re giving this fragrant dish a happier –and vegan- fate by transforming it into a rich and aromatic black bean stew with seitan and vegetables.

Store what you eat, Eat what you store
Anyone else finding it hard to 'store what you eat, eat what you store'? I don't mind purchasing long term food storage items for my pantry for *just in case* but am really not that interested in eating processed or canned foods unless there are no alternatives. What do you prep that easily integrates into your day-to-day menu so that it's easy to rotate items for expiration dates?
The only canned/packaged items we really use are coffee, beans, olives, instant mashed potatoes, chili, corn muffin mix, flour / pancake mix, tuna and once-in-a-great-while, soup. I've taken to adding extra spices and/or essential oils to my processed foods to make them taste better (for example, cilantro, cumin and lime oil to chili, or just tonight - lemon and black pepper oil to a can of Progresso chicken soup). If anyone is interested, I do post recipes for essential oil uses in cooking on my oil preps group, https://www.facebook.com/groups/essentialoilprepping/
Long term storage contains #10 cans of various things like dehydrated vegetable beef soup, bread mix, lentils, potatoes, etc., but I'm finding that I'm reluctant to use these items as I'd rather keep them sealed for the long haul. Does anyone else have that challenge?
Looking to save some money on your food preps? Here are some easy tips to get started.
1. buy ingredients rather than processed foods. Yes, many processed foods are cheap, but the quality (an nutritional value) is often poor, and they tend to expire sooner than raw ingredients do. 2. buy in bulk. Warehouse stores such as Costco, Sam’s Club, Smart n Final, etc., often sell food and other supplies in larger packages at greater savings than your typical sizes you would find at the grocery store or Walmart. The key to achieving savings here is to make sure you’re not letting product go to waste - break down the large packages into smaller, more manageable sizes or plan to use larger packages when you’re feeding a crowd. 3. buy wholesale Some items you can buy direct from the manufacturer with a wholesale account and save even more money with a monthly buying club. That’s how I buy essential oils, vitamins and supplements - if you’re interested in doing the same, get in touch with me for more information. 4. get more bang for your buck at the grocery store through smart meal planning. Planning your meals to get the most out of your grocery dollar is a smart way to go. Coupon and take advantage of grocery store sales, buy bulk packs of ground beef then cook up enough to stretch into 2 or 3 meals in a row, plan entire meals from your leftovers. For example, in my home, a roasted chicken can be stretched into 3 different meals: 1. roast chicken with potatoes 2. chicken tacos and 3. chicken soup. Similarly, when I cook up ground beef with onions and garlic, I can make taco meat then use the leftover in chili, or cook up enough to make 3 or 4 meals, divide it and freeze portions for later. 5. Learn your meat cuts. Learning how to cook different cuts of beef, for example, especially some of the cheaper cuts like chuck, shoulder roast, london broil and boiling beef, is a great way to stretch your food dollar. Check into buying meat in bulk at your local butcher shop - often you can buy either 1/4 cow or a big box of meat for less. 6. Replace soda with iced tea Brew your own iced tea or make lemonade by the pitcher in order to eliminate the need for expensive juice and soda in your home. 7. Eat vegetarian twice a week. Not only is it healthy to take a break from meat now and then, it’s easy on your wallet. From pasta alfredo or mac n cheese to 3 bean casserole, stuffed baked potatoes, chinese stir fry or noodles, grilled cheese sandwiches, and more, there are lots of tasty options for your family’s dinner table. 8. Buy produce in season. Fresh veggies in season are not only better for you than canned or frozen, they are often cheaper. 9. Leverage low-ticket items in your weekly menu Eggs, pasta, ground beef, chicken (especially legs and thighs) are still fairly inexpensive. Casseroles, the heart of midwest cooking, are still a cheap way to feed your whole family for just a few dollars. Fried rice, mashed or baked potatoes, and pasta will stretch your meals and also make for great leftovers the next day (thus saving you on eating lunch out as well). Don’t forget the Dollar Store can be a good place to pick up cheap eats. Some dollar stores even have a fresh produce section, and many sell bread and frozen foods as well. 10. Make a budget and stick to it. Whether your weekly grocery budget is 20 dollars or a hundred, it’s important to make a budget and then live within that budget if you want to be able to make your food dollar go longer. One tip that can help is to do all your bulk shopping at the beginning of the month (or twice a month), and then commit to buying nothing else, except for fresh veggies and dairy, for the rest of the month. Plan your meals around what you have in your cupboard and see how far that takes you. What are your favorite tips for saving money on your food preps?

Essential Oils for your Pantry
Boost flavor, avoid food boredom by stocking your pantry with these pure plant extracts - small in size but powerful in flavor (and anti-oxidants as well as an array of other health benefits). Even if you have plans to garden, or have stockpiled the seeds to grow your own herbs, essential oils are convenient, long lasting and Here are the top twelve oils I recommend stockpiling for your pantry: 1. Basil 2. Cumin 3. Cliantro 4. Black Pepper 5. Ginger 6. Lime 7. Marjoram 8. Lemongrass 9. Cardamom 10. Oregano 11. Cinnamon 12. Rosemary
Other oils to consider adding to your spice rack: Dill, Grapefruit Peppermint, Coriander, Clove, Fennel, Wild Orange, Spearmint, Cardamom, Lemon, Thyme, Wintergreen.
Note that citrus oils tend to have a shelf life of 2-3 years, most other oils will last for years if kept airtight and out of heat and light. For this reason, I prefer to store bottled organic lemon juice and powdered citrus packets, although I do also have a few bottles of lemon, lime, grapefruit and wild orange oil in my pantry as well. If you would like to know where I purchase most of my essential oils and how to save up to 55% off retail pricing, contact me to learn how to get started today as a wholesale customer.
I just want to add, if you don’t want to cook but you want your kitchen to smell fantastic, try diffusing 2 or 3 of the above-listed oils, or add them to your DIY Cleaning Spray. For example, Cardamom and Wild Orange with a drop of Cinnamon or Cassia makes a wonderful cleaning spray additive (so does On Guard, for that matter). If you are purchasing your products wholesale and taking advantage of the Loyalty Rewards Programs and monthly specials, you can build up your oils inventory both for daily use and long term storage. What is your favorite essential oil in the kitchen?
