Natural products (cleaning, personal care and food) are important to me. One of my number one goals is to always be working to reduce my toxic load. What does that mean? Well every day we're exposed to gazillions of toxins from things like: pesticides on our food pollutants from living ...

This recipe came out of troubleshooting the following food-related challenges opportunities I was posed with last week: We have cucumbers growing like crazy in our garden right now, and I needed to use them up in any way possible. They were large field cucumbers, which worked just fine, but I ...

Avocado's are the best. They are jam-packed with nutrients, fibre and healthy fat. And they're freakin delicious too!!! Adding half an avocado to your eggs, salad, or burgers, is the perfect way to not only get in some additional nutrition, but to make sure your meal will be filling for ...

When I was in grade school, we were always allowed to bring in a treat for the whole class on our birthdays. Since my birthday was in June, and it was usually hot out, my mom would always make jello jigglers for me to take! They were always a huge ...

Burgers are a staple in our house! Why? Because they're quick to make, delicious and inexpensive. The last part is key, because when buying properly raised meat, cost does become a factor. And after beef shanks and organ meats, ground beef is the cheapest cut you can get! So between ...

Have you had coconut milk ice cream yet? If your answer is anything other than "hell ya", go out and get some right now! Specifically the brand Luna and Larry's Coconut Bliss because it has the cleanest ingredients. It's like the Hagen Daaz of dairy-free ice cream. Rich, creamy, and ...

One of the processed foods I really caution my clients against is pre-made salad dressings. The reason for this is multi-factorial: The oil is always a vegetable oil. Even if it says "made with olive oil". Check the ingredients list, olive oil will be listed after an industrial seed oil ...

As someone who never liked mayonnaise growing up, coleslaw was something that I avoided pretty passionately. I was even that weird kid who loved salads and veggies - but the mayo killed coleslaw for me. Then one day, a few years ago, I received a cabbage in our weekly veggie ...

I can't remember where I first saw this idea, probably somewhere on pinterest, but I can't take credit for coming up with it! Others have done it before me, but I love this little project so much that I had to share it with you! Do you squeeze lemon into ...

Last Saturday was my husband's birthday and the previous Tuesday was my birthday - so to celebrate, we spent Saturday afternoon at an open house at a local farm. Doesn't everyone celebrate birthdays that way?? We have been on the hunt for a local farm that raises 100% grassfed beef ...

I promise you I have not gone crazy (well maybe that's still up for debate depending on where you're at in your health and wellness journey) - homemade deodorant is not only possible, it's easy and pretty darn effective! Let me explain. I began a transition to clean, chemical-free personal ...
