Enjoying Vibrant Health from Nourishing Foods
These gluten-free, grain free sweet potato pancakes are going to become a new staple in my house when hubby is out-of-town. They were super fast to make and super yummy. I can honestly say that I didn’t make enough and the kids just wanted more. [Read more…]
But, now I LOVE to make some fresh veggies for breakfast, lunch or dinner. There is really nothing like buying local and eating local. It is the best to buy fresh or eat from your own garden. [Read more…]
Fat phobia is tragic, really. [Read more…]
It is that time of winter, that time where I’m just itching to see that green grass start peeking out along the side of the road. I can’t wait to see the trees and flowers start to bloom again. I’m ready to go outside without my coat on and enjoy the sunshine tanning my arms. Since it is still January and I live in the mountains, maybe I am in need of a tropical vacation somewhere instead. I’m not sure it is quite the time of year to hope for the winter chill to be gone, yet. The dead of winter isn’t going anywhere for a while. [Read more…]
I really love it when I’m inspired in my kitchen to try a new recipe. I had tried a chia pudding a few months back and though it would be fun to make a recipe of my own. This month has been an interesting one food-wise for our family.
Somehow we ran out of money in our food budget halfway through the month. High winter prices, I guess. I still can’t figure out exactly where all the money went. And, I’ve been scrapping by ever since. The month ends in 5 days and I still have $11 left. I have been pulling out all the stops and using everything that we have in our freezer and pantry. I needed to find a recipe that was both frugal, easy, tasty and healthy. [Read more…]
I have to admit, I do!
I know, I know. I’m the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, right?
You’d think that I’d have it all together when it comes to feeding my family.
I don’t always have it together and the truth is that without a plan it is very hard to eat healthy and stay within our family budget. I’m sure that you can relate. [Read more…]
Kid: “Mom, can I have a snack?”
Me: *Cringe* “Um…sure honey, what would you like?”
Kid: “I don’t know. How about a banana?”
Me: “OK” *Gives kid Banana*
Kid: *Finishes Banana* “Mom, I’m still hungry.”
And, the vicious cycle begins again.

In November I posted 10 Nourishing Foods to Eat During Pregnancy and since then I have had several individuals inquiring about my top #2 food on the list, liver. Unfortunately, liver happens to be a controversial food for pregnant mammas, it is high in the fat soluble vitamin A which is picked on for being toxic to infants in the womb. Hopefully, no doctor would even deny that a mother is in need of vitamin A for both her and her developing infant, but is there really too much vitamin A in liver? [Read more…]
I enjoy coming up with some of my own candy recipes, I really do. Toasted Coconut Peanut Butter Cups? YUMMO! They almost taste like the store-bought kind. I think you will love the recipe below. They are wonderful for snacks on the go or thoughtful handmade gifts to others in your life. They are super fun holiday treats. Maybe since I am posting them after Christmas you can enjoy them for a New Years Eve treat. [Read more…]
