Contrary to what previous studies have shown, coconut oil is actually very good for you! I often start my day with a tablespoon of coconut oil, no I don’t just eat it by itself! I melt it and put it in a smoothie or put it in my oatmeal sometimes, but my favorite way to […]
A couple nights ago we got to enjoy the first beets from our garden. Aren’t they beautiful?! This is the first time I’ve planted a real garden (something other than just potted plants), and so far I’ve been very pleased with the results. Even though we got a late start because of the weather, the […]
This ice cream or sorbet was perfect! The kids had a blast making it with our new juicer and it was so fast and easy. The best part about it is that it’s so healthy, you could eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner. Nothing added, just frozen fruit. Half the fruit I froze myself […]
When do I start to give my baby solids? What kind of food do I feed him first? How much do I give him? How do I know when he’s done? Are store bought foods safe or healthy for my baby? Is it realistic to make my own? When is he ready for finger foods? […]
I made these tonight to go with my chicken noodle soup and they were actually really good. I used all whole wheat flour, but I think the texture would be better if you used some white flour. I rolled them out myself and I was surprised how quick and easy it was. Because I only […]

2 cups fresh lemon juice
3 whole […]
This is a variation of a recipe I found on Allrecipes.com, I made these tonight with the boys, they helped with a few of the ingredients and then mostly helped by scooping the contents onto the foil. These turned out really well and I was surprised at how much they tasted like the “real” ones! […]
We like to have healthy, preferably raw snacks around the house for those moments when one of us is thinking about being naughty sometime before the next meal! This is another recipe my friends Rana and Jana shared with me from Serene Allison’s raw cookbook “Rejuvenate Your Life.” A cookbook that I need to get […]
