HOME ECONOMICS FOR THE ECO-CONSCIOUS: Learn how to create a homemade, fun, and sustainable lifestyle with this housekeeping guide full of time- and money-saving tips.

Includes 100+ recipes, plus seasonal guidance on cooking, cleaning, urban homesteading, and more!

From cooking, canning, and preserving to making your own nontoxic home and personal care products, author Erica Strauss offers instruction and inspiration for tackling at-home projects on your own. In this book, you will learn how to:
• Organize and stock your kitchen for easy meal preparation—and whip up simple but satisfying recipes the whole family will love.
• Use basic food preservation techniques—from water-bath canning to pressure canning—with a handy year-long food preservation calendar of what to put up when.
• Make the most of your preserved foods with delicious recipes organized by season.
• Create your own home care and personal care products—from Fizzy Bath Bombs and Refreshing Peppermint Foot Scrub to Nontoxic Laundry softener.
With less focus on consumerism and more on saving time and money, The Hands-On Home will help you create a home you love with simple resources and easy-to-learn skills.
