So I’m writing this post as I’m in the middle of a 3 week Daniel fast / juice fast / herbal detox. Today marks Day 1 of our three day raw fruits & veggies / juice fast portion. And while I’m doing well and loving all the fresh juice made from my brand new Champion […]
I must really be such a nerd. My latest source of fascination these days has not been the swankiest fashion trends or the coolest new movies (confession: I’ve never seen any of the Batman movies). It’s not even been a new cooking technique or interior design trick (though I do love those!) Nope, my latest […]
It was early in the evening. I was fixing dinner and checking the contents of my refrigerator. I saw cream from my raw milk that needed to be used. I already had a batch of sour cream. I wanted to whip it. And whip it good. So whip it I did. With a bit of […]
You guys. If you haven’t heard already (via Facebook or Twitter or my last Rear View Mirror post), I’m stoked to now be a part of the Modern Alternative Kitchen team! My very first post has gone live on day 3 of the site’s official launch. I’m such a proud mama (tear . . . […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - you can’t exercise your way out of a bad diet. But you also can’t sit on the couch and expect a change in diet to truly change your body. I’ve not really ever struggled with my weight, so exercise hasn’t always been at the top […]
June. The month in which I soaked up some sun & salt water at the beach, turned 27, and posted very little on the blog. Apologies, my dear readers! I’m not honestly quite sure what happened. I guess life just caught up with me, as they say. (Who are they, anyway? And why do they […]
Mango. Goat cheese. Say no more. I’m sold. Take me to it and let me at it! I based this salad off a couple recipes I found on Pinterest, making a few additions, subtractions, and substitutions and I have to say I’m rather pleased with the results. Seeing as I ate almost the whole bowl […]
There truly may not be anything better than a warm, rich, ooey-gooey, chocolate brownie. Right out of the oven. Served with a tall, cold glass of fresh, raw milk. * swoon * It’s the simple things in life, huh? Of course, if you know what all that sugar does in your body, you don’t eat […]
Does anyone else ever feel like they are drowning in zucchini in the summer? I know I’m preaching to the choir when I say that I cannot give away my abundance of zucchini fast enough this time of year! I just shared a presentation on local food as part of the Vintage Remedies 2012 Virtual […]
The month of May was filled with drinks here. I’m talking super healthy lemonades and tea mixed or brewed with gourmet flavors and sweetened with natural alternatives to toxic refined sugar. What, what?! Yes, folks, summer is indeed upon us, but never fear the heat and humidity. Rosemary Lemonade, Plum & Thyme Iced Tea, and […]
Scorching hot summer weather calls for a cold glass of tea or lemonade. Last week I shared an incredibly easy and healthy recipe for Strawberry Lemonade. A few weeks before that, it was Rosemary Lemonade. Today, I’m shifting gears slightly and looking at iced tea. Iced tea with plums and thyme, to be exact. I […]
