This week I made dessert two nights in a row! Let’s just say that is not my normal routine following dinner. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy a nice dessert when maybe at a restaurant for a special occasion, but I do not normally make or in this case bake desserts at home. My hubby…
Coconut Curry Tofu
I am a firm believer of home cooked meals for my family. Honesty eating take out is unhealthy and doesn’t align well with our budget. Despite always cooking and being in the kitchen, I hadn’t done so as much as would have liked in 2015. My 2nd daughter was born 10/19/14. During maternity leave and…
My “sidekick” is called KALE!
Remember my post, Hail to the Kale!? Welp, I am still doing so. I use Kale in many different ways because of the it’s unsurpassed health benefits. It has now become our go to sidekick or side dish when we need to add greens to our entree. The great thing about it is that my 5 year old…
Spicy Sardine & Potato Stew
King Oscar Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive has become a staple in my house. Sardines are healthy and sustainable. They are considered brain food because they are packed with Omega 3s. In fact, they are one of the most concentrated sources of the omega-3 fatty acids. Since sardines are at the bottom of the aquatic food…
Blueberry Pancakes: Enjoying the Fruits of our Labor
My post yesterday, Blueberry Picking: A Handful of Health, shared my experience with gathering fresh blueberries right from the field. Today my daughters and I got to enjoy the fruits of our labor! Since yesterday, my daughter was very certain about making blueberry pancakes for breakfast this morning and so we did. It was quite simple….
Sweet & Spicy Eggplant & Tofu Stir Fry
Tonight for dinner I wanted tofu, but then I also wanted eggplant. I’ve seen the combo before but never have had a recipe. I decided to create my own. I knew I wanted something sweet and spicy so I gathered my ingredients to come up with my desired flavor. I must say, I outdid myself!…
Blueberry Picking: A Handful of Health
Today was a great day. My daughters and I awoke early and headed to Swift Creek Berry Farm to pick fresh blueberries. It was a lot of fun. They have rows and rows of blueberry bushes with blueberries growing in all stages. It was not hard at all to find full colored, plump, ripe blueberries to…
Drink your Inflammation Away!
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…
Mindfulness: Reasons I Practice
My focus in life has in more recent years been to vibrate higher with a Purpose to Serve and not just a Life to Live. As I learn more and more about who I am and the world in which we live, I now believe that a purpose to serve and lifestyle to live must go…
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…
