In previous post I have shared like Take Heed: Ditch Western medicine and Book Share I discussed no longer relying on Western Medicine to heal us. I am still gung-ho about this. After having my second child (2 and done :)), I was referred to a gastrointestinal specialist for severe inflammation to say the least. I was totally shocked…

Prepping to Save Time & Money
Do you ever find yourself leaving your house and heading to work only to realize you have no lunch or no money come 12 noon? Welp, I do. I have recently realized that prepping is much needed in my life. Being a full time, working mother almost requires it. For those not in the helping…
My Wheatgrass Journey
Did you know that 2 ounces of wheatgrass is equivalent to 4 pounds of green vegetables? Yes, it is true. I was shocked when I first found this out. I kept seeing “Wheatgrass shots” for purchase at my local Smoothie King and was curious about it. They had the health benefits posted on the wall…
Spicy Vegan Peanut Butter Tofu with Sirachi
So I must admit for 2-3 years my fiancé and I have stuck to a pescatarian diet, but in the past few months we have dibbled and dabbled with meat. Reasons behind this have nothing really to do with missing meat, but more to do with budgeting. I just don’t get it; healthier foods are…
Skillet Breakfast & Dinner Potatoes
The weekends give my family and I the opportunity to have a full on breakfast. During the week the mornings are typically fast-paced so it might be a yogurt or banana on the go. When have time I prefer to cook a nice wholesome breakfast. I have this thing for egg and potatoes. I personally…
Eclecticism
I’ve been told, “your very eclectic!” Nothing I’ve strived to be, but naturally this is the person I’ve become. Based on the definition of eclectic, I can honestly say yes; I am a person who embraces ideas, styles, and taste from a diverse range of sources. When I reflect on my life I think there…
My Slight Obsession with Ginger Root
First, Ginger is a plant with leafy stems and yellowish green flowers. The ginger spice comes from the roots of the plant. In foods and beverages, ginger is used as a flavoring agent. So this morning I woke to the sweet smell of Ginger. My fiancé made us Ginger tea. Normally we add the spice,…
Strawberry Picking with Friends
My friends and I all have children around the same age which makes it fun for us to plan outings. Each summer we do something fun and meaningful with our children. From picking apples (upcoming post) in the fall or picking strawberries in the summer. Normally, I share about places to go in RVA, but…
Coffee is not my Cup of Tea
A cup of tea makes everything better; its always a good idea. I will admit that I am not like the average American because I do not drink coffee. Was there once a time when I did? Yes, but it was merely 1 cup or 1/2 a cup per a morning work day. On average, 50%…
Q for Quinoa, S for Sweet Potato
Nom, nom! These two paired together make a happy couple! Packed in fiber, whole grain, and beta carotene… How could one go wrong?! Sooo this was on tonight’s menu in my flat… With a little additions. I truly believe it is a mind thing when people say they must have meat on the menu. If…
General Tso Tofu
A lot of people dismiss tofu because of its texture, its appearance, etc. Tofu is actually a great source of protein which makes it a great meat replacement. By definition Tofu, also known as bean curd, is a food made by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into soft white blocks. It…
Hail to the Kale!
So the start of the new month, August is here and I am reflecting on the last month and realized its time to cleanse and restore. This to me is eating fresh fruits and raw vegetables with packed in grains of some sort. When I started my health path to green goodness I typically ate…
