getting back to my roots: my journey in true health and natural living
Got Milk?

Got Milk?

If you do have milk in your fridge (and who doesn’t?), you might want to take a gander below at what could be in that yellow carton. And what it’s doing inside your body. Let’s say you pick up a gallon of “normal” cow’s milk from the gas station or grocery store. It looks healthy […]

Noodle-less Lasagna

Noodle-less Lasagna

Or a gloried meatloaf. It was more or less a cross between the two. It was our dinner last night. And it was tasty! Share-worthy, in fact. So share I will…. Zucchini Casserole 2 small zucchini 1 1/2 lbs. ground meat 1/2 small onion 3 cloves garlic 3 eggs 2 Tbsp. Bragg’s liquid aminos 2 […]

Yes, I Know I’m Crazy….

Yes, I Know I’m Crazy….

There is no microwave in my kitchen. When we learned what it does to our food, we unplugged it and stowed it away on the top shelf of a closet. I’m not exactly sure what to do with it just yet….I would feel morally responsible for selling the “death box,” as my friend Thomas likes […]

And yes, in years past, the option of harmless looking little pills to ease the throbbing pain in my temple seemed like a great option. Until I learned […]

Beef….It’s What’s for Dinner

Beef….It’s What’s for Dinner

I’ve never been scared of eating red meat. I love it actually. Never crossed my mind that red meat was bad for my heart. Never paid much attention to studies done by the government or the FDA. Guess it’s all well and good at any rate, cuz all those silly studies done about red meat […]

I had to buy new pants.

I wasn’t even trying, but I had lost a few inches around my middle and my thighs. So when it started to become obnoxious to hike up my pants all day (but let’s face it, who wouldn’t prefer to have that problem instead of having buttons popping OFF their pants?), I bit the bullet and […]

Coming Home

First post. A rather daunting task…..I’m wanting to say something incredibly witty and clever to set the tone and make you come back and visit again. But i figure this post will eventually get lost in the archives anyway and we can move onto more important things……like living a thriving, vibrant life to 120 years […]
