Party Gummies with Native Nectar Juice!! (The WAY better version of a Jello Shot)

Have you ever had the most amazing idea and then it fails.  And it fails again and again and again AND again!?!  Well that happened to me when I had the brilliant idea to introduce you to the amazing Native Nectar juice through some Par-tay Gummies.  Remember Jello shots?  Well, I thought hey,  I’ve got a great recipe for gummies so lets just swap out some ingredients, add a little alcohol and done.  I mean hell, if you’ve got a healthy juice, grass fed gelatin and maybe a dash of kombucha, the alcohol pretty much doesn’t even count!  You’ve detoxed while […]

Have you guys ever taken hot yoga?  It’s pretty amazing.  The thing is that you sweat buckets.  Like a WHOLE lot.  It makes you feel like you’ve really detoxed, and mostly you probably smell like you did too.  I’ve been doing it now for a quite a while but obviously I haven’t learned all the rules.  Like how you shouldn’t wear gray pants.  Normally I do my hot yoga thing and then come straight home and shower because I’m so rank.  But last week I had to make a quick run into the grocery store before I made it home.

Homemade Sports Drink

Homemade Sports Drink

It’s hot.  And I’m sweaty.  Do you ever feel like have a cold drink after being outside in the summer or after a good workout?  Just water doesn’t sound good and you know sports drinks are full of crap, you know that right?  I mean flame retardants in your drink just never seemed liked a good idea to me.  Not to mention the food coloring, high fructose corn syrup, and other food additives…blah!  It’s super easy to make your own and only takes 4 simple ingredients.  #1 Water.  #2 Himalayan Sea Salt– this is where you’ll get 83 different minerals […]

Don’t stop reading yet.  Organ meat is one of the best ways to get tons of nutrients that you cannot get in any other food.  Did you know that organ meat was considered the prized meat of many traditional cultures?   In fact, some tribes only ate the organ meat and tossed the lean muscle meat! Organ meat is extremely rich in all fat soluble vitamins, essential fatty acids and tons of trace minerals.  Not that long ago families would eat liver and onions once a week.  Now recommendations have gone against this practice due the fear of toxins in […]

I was so lucky I had the opportunity to attend Paleo f(x) in Austin last weekend.  Austin holds a special place in my heart because I grew up right outside of the city in a town called Round Rock.  So when I saw the conference was being held there, and my parents could watch the littles for us it was a WIN WIN.  Not to mention my favorite ice cream place is there, Lick Ice Cream, but unfortunately we didn’t make it there during the right hours…waaahhhhhh!!!!  I did make up for missing my ice cream by eating at a local […]

Salted Chocolate Almond Candy Bar

Salted Chocolate Almond Candy Bar

Lately my husband, (yes, I’m going to blame him for bringing this to our house and forcing me to eat them) has been buying this salted almond chocolate bars.  Have you seen em? I believe they are from the devil.  I always tell him, “okay, fine, just give me ONE square.”  Has anyone ever just eaten ONE square!?! Probably never.  Needless to say the madness had to stop and so I created what I thought would be a better option then the store bought candy bar.  It was real tough testing all these to make sure I got it just […]

Did I show you this yet? I tell ya, those kale chips are pretty darn tasty! Some of the other answers were pizza, ice cream, chocolate etc. And ya know what? That would probably be the case with Jude as well if we didn’t role model for him. And don’t get me wrong, Jude loves his fair share of the toxic stuff (that’s what we call it around here) but he loves his kale too. I believe that those little eyes are always watching you and so the best way to show your child how to eat is by making […]

Not food related- Foaming Hand Soap!

Not food related- Foaming Hand Soap!

Posted: October 25, 2012

I know this isn’t food, but it is health related and so easy! I had to share! We go through soap pretty fast at our office so I decided we needed a better way then to keep buying it by the bucket. I found an article about using castile soap in tons of different ways and so I tried it for our hand soap (also just made homemade laundry detergent and shampoo!) Ready for this? So so easy! I bought a foaming hand soap dispenser at Bed, Bath and Beyond, for $8 with my handy 20% off coupon 🙂 Then […]
