Lotus Garden Newsletter for Homesteaders. 5th August 2020

https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/naturalmedicine/5MMkOHcX-image.png
So many great recipes this week for health and just good old, tasty goodness. You have no idea how close I came to filling the features with recipes alone! I managed to control myself and bring you a bit more variety, however. I hope you enjoy and are inspired by this week's newsletter goodies.

Things happening in the community.

**The @ecotrain question of the week asks us [what the biggest question or mystery in our life is that we'd like answered.](https://hive.blog/hive-123046/@ecotrain/ecotrain-question-of-the-week-14-what-is-the-biggest-question-or-mystery-in-your-life-that-until-now-you-haven-t-had-the-answer) Another piece of news from this community is that they have now joined the @ocd incubation programme and in celebration of this have another little challenge for you. Are you ready to share [simple vegan cooking on a budget, for a chance to receive an @ocdb vote?](https://hive.blog/hive-123046/@ecotrain/august-is-simple-vegan-cooking-on-a-budget-month-big-up-votes-from-ecotrain-and-ocdb-for-your-posts)**

Some highlights of the week

On the homestead, everything you can do for yourself to make the best use of what you have on the land is a bonus. @paradoxtma takes us through the process of [producing your own boards on a budget, using a chainsaw,](https://hive.blog/homesteading/@paradoxtma/the-chainsaw-mill-making-your-own-boards-on-a-budget) to make the best use of logs you might have around.

When you have an abundance of a wonderful thing, it's almost a crime to let it go to waste. @sallybeth23 shares how she makes [sage infused honey and its range of uses.](https://hive.blog/hive-120078/@sallybeth23/sage-infused-honey)

Then there's more deliciousness from @amy-goodrich in the form of these [chocolate, hazelnut praline squares.](https://hive.blog/hive-120078/@amy-goodrich/chocolate-hazelnut-praline-squares)

Necessity is the mother of invention and so to, I believe, is desire in some circumstances. When you can't find exactly what you want to buy, then why not produce it yourself? That's what @erikah did when she wanted [a bag to match some red shoes.](https://hive.blog/hive-127911/@erikah/testing-the-waters-and-a-new-design) Sometimes you just have to figure out ways of using what you have on hand to create what you need or want.
