A Well Rounded Old Fashioned Education


 - The EES cover every topic. Many of the series are still household names almost a hundred years after they ceased being published. The most famous and popular of these series are the McGuffey's Readers and Ray's Arithmetics, but there were many other extraordinary series in the EES such as Pinneo's Grammars, Thalheimer's Histories and Norton's Sciences that have been used by countless students.

 - The books provided Americans with a brand of textbook they could trust, the EES. The authors commissioned to do the various line of textbooks were at the top of their fields. No expenses were spared in preparing these incredible textbooks.Original art was commissioned for them, and they were refined and honed through multiple revisions over decades. As an added bonus, all of the books were written by Christian authors whose values were part of the backbone of early America.  To read more go HERE

Nourishing Traditions


This well-researched, thought-provoking guide to traditional foods contains a startling message: Animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels. Sally Fallon dispels the myths of the current low-fat fad in this practical, entertaining guide to a can-do diet that is both nutritious and delicious.

Topics include the health benefits of traditional fats and oils (including butter and coconut oil); dangers of vegetarianism; problems with modern soy foods; health benefits of sauces and gravies; proper preparation of whole grain products; pros and cons of milk consumption; easy-to-prepare enzyme enriched condiments and beverages; and appropriate diets for babies and children.

~~~~~~~~

This is one of my absolute favorites.  This book is fabulous and the information it contains is bounteous.  We have learned so very much and made so many improvements in our family just from utilizing the knowledge in this book.  Highly recommended.  More HERE.

More With Less


Spend less on your groceries, improve the nutritional value of your meals, and consume less of the world's limited food resources using this best-selling classic. These health-conscious recipes-from breakfast to dessert, leftovers to preserves-emphasize whole grains and protein substitutes, cooking from scratch, and wasting as little as possible.
~~~~~~~~
I am on my 3rd copy of this cookbook.  Wow, it is great.  If you are looking to lesson your grocery bill then this is the way to do.  Plus you would be eating so healthy.  There is a wealth of information in it on much more than cooking and recipes.  For more go HERE

Encyclopedia of Country Living




Dreaming of moving "back to the land"---or creating a more sustainable lifestyle right where you are? Emery's basic guide to gardens and goats reads like a very long letter to old friends. She shares how to---and how not to---buy land, can peaches, bake bread, sell berries, build chicken coops, keep bees, and more. Includes lists of books, magazines, and suppliers for every subject imaginable. 858 pages, softcover from Sasquatch Books.

Now this is a great resource. No it isn't for homeschool-although it could be as you learn tons-but it speaks for itself in the above description. I love it. Read more HERE
