My latest obsession is something that has been around a long time. It's not a supplement, a special drink, or an exotic superfood. It's something my ancestors most likely consumed all the time, yet is sadly missing from the modern American diet. Bone broth. Specifically, beef bone broth made from grass fed beef marrow bones. … Continue reading Homemade Bone Broth for Beginners
As an advocate for whole body healing, I really hoped this virus situation would open up new discussions on how to take care of our personal health. Have I missed something? We are NOT a healthy country. This should be opening our eyes, but it’s not. The U.S. spends the most on health care compared … Continue reading Tips to Take Charge of Your Health During the Era of Covid

Y’all, times are crazy. While toilet paper may be absent from stores, last I checked there are still some shelf-stable and frozen items available for plunder... I mean, purchase. So I figured what better time to share ways to create nourishing and filling meals out of a stockpile... just in case. Reminder - this … Continue reading What to Cook When You’re “Social Distancing”
Want to hear something crazy? I only started eating vegetables regularly about 9 years ago. Before that, it seemed so daunting to chop and season, and I relied on packaged meals allll the time due to lack of knowledge and insecurity around cooking. If that’s you - you’re in good company and it’s not too … Continue reading Roasting Veggies for Beginners
I've been in a pantry cleaning mood lately. I didn't say organizing. You can ask my husband - organization is NOT my skill set. But I'm trying to make use of ingredients we have hanging out in the back of the pantry. You know those things you need for a recipe, you use a tiny … Continue reading Green Lentil Curry

You probably have heard me say it - I'm a big fan of treating the root. And as … Continue reading Re-Focus 2020: See Yourself More Clearly
