Welcome to Practical Stewardship! If you just subscribed by e-mail, it was successful! You should be getting an e-mail every time there is a new post, which is about once a week. We hope you enjoy roaming around here and getting some ideas.
At Practical-Stewardship.com we share with you how our commitment to exercise good stewardship of what God has given us touches all aspects of life, including how we eat, handle our bodies, nurture our souls, and manage our money. The majority of posts are healthified recipes (almost every other post), but we also share occasion thrifty thinking money saving ideas (many about food:), workouts, DIY Projects which have included repurposing crafts and sewing projects, and every 6 months we update a Costco Natural & Organic Price Lists.
Current Features:
- Healthified Recipes including many Slow-Cooker Recipes
You’ll find occasional posts on:
Every 6 Months there are:
- Costco Natural & Organic Price List Updates
The recipes are mainly whole foods based (recipes made from one ingredient foods). Many recipes are gluten-free, dairy-free, and/or vegan. Even though we aren’t a gluten-free or vegan family, so many healthy recipes fall under these categories.
You will also see posts on fitness philosophy ideas, and more. The workouts are meant to give you ideas that you can modify (especially if you don’t have any kettlebells).
If you want to learn more about us personally, you can go here to our about us page, read about our love story here, or read Confessions from a Selfish Daughter and Cancer.
We know this blog could be broken up into several different blogs. We could have a separate money-saving blog, a separate exercise blog, a separate DIY blog, a separate recipe blog, and a separate spiritual blog. Maybe that will come later, but may be not. Only the Lord knows. But we really can’t separate these aspects of life because it is all about a lifestyle…the lifestyle of a good and faithful steward.
We love hearing from you, especially your ideas for excellent stewardship (and your feedback on ours!), so please contact us and if you like us, “like us” on Facebook. 🙂

Greetings from eastern WA (not too far from Pullman!). Came here for the crock pot sourdough recipe, signed up because your site has so much good stuff! Thanks for the post–can’t wait to make some bread and see what a family in the Lord is going to share next. 🙂
Sonja says
Praise the Lord! Thanks for sharing. You are kind. I hope you enjoy, and God bless.

What happened to your Faith/For the Heart posts? I am unable to access anything, one link goes to the Costco price list updates.
Sonja says
Thanks for the heads up! I will have to investigate! God bless.
Ron Hinesley says
This evening I just received my vitamix explorian blender, I made your tomato basil soup using the almond milk, sauté onions and garlic. It was as good as I expected. My question is , what are the calories and carbs per cup?
Sonja says
Hi Ron. I actually don’t know the calorie count and carbs, but if you go to this website, you can put the ingredients to any recipe, and it will tell you what you want to know. Really cool. I hope this helps!

I absolutely love the vegan blueberry muffins! i made them for the second time today. Mine turn out more like scones tho. Too thick to pour into a muffin tin, but we don’t care at all! I love that you have figured out how to use chia meal in place of flax (had too much of a metallic taste for me). Do you have any experience with an almond four cake with chia seed meal? My daughter’s bday is coming up and we are grain free and egg free. UGH, having a tough time finding a cake to make for her. Thank you in advance!
Rebecca Myers says
I’m interested in the recipe for the sourdough starter?
Sonja says
Hi Rebecca. Here is the recipe for the starter. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for this great website.
Do you ever buy the big bag of POWER GREENS at Costco? How do you keep them from getting slimy? Thank you Pam
Sonja says
Ha! Great question. I tried to buy them for a long time. I kept taking them back because the bag is HUGE and we couldn’t get through them before they would end up slimy BEFORE the date. I would just take them back to let Costco they don’t last. I’m sorry I don’t have a better answer for you.

I just found your blog and the price list updates! That is such a great thing to do, helping others be faithful in their spending! As you said, it’s the resources that God has given to us and we need to use them in a way that honors Him. Thank you for ministering to me and many others in this way. Bless you and yours.
