Hey friend, The Labor Day weekend is right around the corner, and this is one of those holidays you don't want to overthink. Maybe you’re feeding a crowd. Maybe you’re taking something to someone else’s place. Or maybe you simply want good food that makes the long weekend feel a little different from every other weekend. I pulled together 47 Labor Day recipes in one place, including breads, salads, mains, appetizers and desserts. And several of the recipes come from the archives of An Off Grid Life and Recipes From Leftovers, so clicking around the collection is a good way to find something you may have missed. Save the list now, and Labor Day food becomes one less thing to think about next week. Until next time, Sarita |

And I don’t mean filling a shopping cart with survival gear or worrying about every possible disaster. The boring stuff matters first. Do you have food your family will actually eat? Could you manage through a power outage? Does everyone in the house know what to do if you can’t reach each other? That’s where I’d start. Survival Preparedness for Beginners If preparedness feels...
