Easy Tandoori Masala from Scratch + Tandoori Chicken Wings Recipe
One of my favourite ways to cook is to stand out by my clay oven, or tandoor, with the fire reaching 100’s of degrees as I carefully and skillfully make the most amazing tandoori dishes. Hmm, or not. I’ve never actually ever used a tandoor, which is perfectly fine, because I don’t think I know anyone who actually has. This means you …
Hydrating Winter Body Scrub
With the start of the new year comes our plans to recalibrate ourselves and either refocus on, expand, or start our healthy living routines. In fact, the new year is the perfect time to make a decision to no longer use toxic products in our lives, especially on our body.

DIY Conditioner
I have the most wonderful family that consists of me, hubby, 2 teenagers and an 11 year old. And some of us have long hair — down to the shoulder or past it.

DIY Herbal Baby Oil
Nothing can compare to that exhilarating feeling of holding a fresh faced, silken skinned newborn. I know that I didn’t think twice when the hospital staff bathed my baby in Johnson’s baby wash and shampoo, finished off with lotion and baby oil. I cringe now, knowing what’s really in that stuff (including cancer causing toxic chemicals). So what’s the alternative? …

Have you ever met someone and thought to yourself “How did I not know this person before? We’re kindred spirits!” That’s exactly how I feel about Jess, the founder of Scratch Mommy. A couple of months ago I was introduced to Jess and her husband Nick by Karen (the Scratch Mommy Parenting Editor). How had I not known about Jess …
Introducing our DIY Contributors Part 2
I was introduced to the world of “Life From Scratch” at a fairly young age. My Dad was a builder and my mom was an artist, seamstress, master chef, exceptional baker and all around DIY Queen. The house that I grew up in (where my parents still live) was made from scratch. My mom purchased the property when she was 19 …
