The Ultimate Dandelion Cookbook

The Ultimate Dandelion Cookbook was a free book for your Kindle when I wrote this post.

Perfect cookbook for this time of year!!

~~FREE Food from the yard~~

148 dandelion recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and even dessert!

What would you think if someone told you one of the world’s most nutritious foods was also tasty, could be cooked many different ways, was easy to find, and was totally free? I know what I’d do: I’d run out and grab some! Well, the good news is, there is such a food: Dandelions. Yes, those pesky weeds with bright yellow flowers you’ve grown up thinking are the enemy of perfect lawns is actually food – brought to North America by immigrants who knew how valuable they are.

Every part of the dandelion is edible. Dandelion greens recipes are common throughout Europe and often used in salad, quiche, lasagna and other pasta dishes, and many other familiar and less-familiar dishes. The honey-like flowers are a healthy and tasty addition to bread, omelets, pancakes, tea, and more – plus they make delectable jelly and wine. The buds are often pickled or added to stir frys and other dishes. The stems can be eaten like noodles. And the roots add coffee flavor to everything from ice cream and cakes to drinks.

The Ultimate Dandelion Cookbook offers 148 recipes, plus expert advice and tips, for cooking all parts of the dandelion – one of nature’s best free foods.

Really Happy To Get A Grand Trunk Parachute Nylon Double Hammock

Grand Trunk Parachute Nylon Double Hammock

I was so happy when I received my Grand Trunk Parachute Nylon Double Hammock! Already have had an argument with my daughter about me letting her have it. Yeah, right! I told her to get her own. This is mine! Got it just in time for my birthday. The print of this ( and the other prints) is so nice. Really makes it stand out. A much higher quality than some hammocks that I have had experience with. This will be great for hiking and camping since it only weighs about 20 ounces. Made of high quality material and has triple sewn seams. Double size and has a weight grade up to 400 pounds. Two people could easily and comfortably fit in this!

The nautical grade hanging carabiners will ensure that it is hung well and safe. This has tons of room, enough for you and someone else or to be by yourself hanging up safely and with all of your hiking gear up off the ground with you. Great way to get up in a tree a bit higher off the ground so you can be hidden. The fabric feels so much stronger and a bit thicker. Use it with a sleeping bag even.  Great for taking a nap after a long hike. This seems like it will hang up very fast. The instructions are really clear and I think that I could have it hung by myself fast! Quickly be safe and up off the ground after a long day. With it being made out of nylon and not mesh makes this a lot more durable. This will last you a much longer time if you take care of it.

I was hoping to get it up before I had to write this post , but wasn't able to. We had planned on going camping this week , but the darn weather just did not cooperate. I did take it out and lay it flat. Made very well. After we take it camping I am seriously thinking of getting some poles for a set up of some kind to be able to  have it hung in my back yard. Have a place where we can go and relax. Read a great book or just take a nap.  It is made of strong parachute nylon. Which is also mildew resistant. I know that it dries quick. It was rained on when it was laying out in the yard a little bit and I just hung it over the back deck rails and it was dry in no time. That is a major plus. Good to have something that can dry quick when you are out and about. Camping out in the woods, you do not want to have something that is soaking wet and not able to bag it up in the bag that it came with. This is built strong and would be a great item to have on hand for anyone who loves the great outdoors or is looking for an alternative to a sleeping arrangement in their bug-out-bag. Since this is so light you can easily have it hanging on the outside of your bag. Will not take up hardly any space. Great for anyone who is out a lot!

OFF THE GRID: Live in a Van, Truck, Trailer, or Motorhome

OFF THE GRID: Live in a Van, Truck, Trailer, or Motorhome was free for the Kindle when this post was written.

For some reason I could see myself doing this. Not sure how good it would be for little ones, but if I was single I would so do this.

 The information that follows is based upon my own experiences living on the road, dating back to just after World War II. If you can imagine yourself in any of the following categories, this book is for you!

Save on Your Rent Payment

In hard times, one of the best ways to cut expenses quickly and for as long as you need relief, is to stop paying rent. True, even an old truck or cargo trailer will cost something, but often these pay for themselves in less than a year. A bonus is that when you sell it, you may get the major part of your money back.

Low-Cost Vacations

The cost of lodging, even on a three-week vacation, can easily run up to $2,000 or more. However, if you’ve got a light-weight fiberglass or converted cargo trailer—set up for cooking—even a two or three month holiday may be affordable.

Permanent living

Tens of thousands of Americans and Canadians live full time in a motorhome. There are prices for all budgets, from just over $2,000 to well over $1,000,000!

High Adventure

Travel up the Alaska Highway—a trip you will never forget!

Personal Privacy

The quickest way to assure yourself of total privacy is to travel in a van, trailer, truck or motorhome. This is called Travel on the QT.
