Twice this past week, I’ve two people have asked me for advice about how to make money at home. Now I’m not an Internet marketing expert by any measure. In fact, I’ve only had a monetized blog for eight months.

Better yet, they’re cheap, especially if you buy them dried – you really can’t get better nutritional bang for your buck. Plus, if you’re organized, you can have them simmering away on the stove (or in the slow-cooker) all afternoon while you work.
