Be mindful of how you are spending your free-time.
Do your best to stay off your phone when you are with loved ones.
Be present in each moment.
If you find you are turning to mindless scrolling to decompress when stressed, maybe it's time to look at other ways to cope. There are so many tools available that will actually positively impact your wellbeing. Scrolling will not.

Chicken & rice bowls with onions, celery, and purple cabbage
Quinoa breakfast bowl with cashew milk, berries, hemp hearts, and flax & pumpkin seeds for Seed Cycling
I always add turmeric and a pinch of pepper to my rice and quinoa no matter what meal it's going into.
Having healthy options ready to go doesn't have to take forever. I froze all of those meals to have ready so there are no excuses when I'm hungry and need some good nutrition to keep me powered up for my busy days!

🎃Happy Halloween 🎃
Everyone was up at 4am today 🤷🏼♀️ so might as well have some fun in the kitchen!
Pumpkin pancakes for the win. And whoever told me to make mini pancakes to dip in syrup is a genius!

Kiss cold symptoms goodbye with this homemade tonic.
Fire Cider
1 large red onion, chopped
3 heads garlic, chopped
1 organic lemon with peel, diced
½ cup fresh ginger root, grated
½ cup fresh turmeric root, grated
¼ cup fresh horseradish root, grated
¼ cup fresh thyme, chopped
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
A few fresh cayenne or jalapeño peppers (optional - you can
always make it spicier later!)
Honey to taste
Raw apple cider vinegar
Directions
• Place all ingredients except honey in a half-gallon glass jar, and cover with raw apple cider vinegar. Be sure to cover the herbs by at least a few inches.
• Cut a square of waxed paper and cover the mouth of the jar before tightly capping it with a lid.
• Store in a dark cupboard for a few weeks, shaking the jar daily.
• After 3 weeks, your fire cider will pack a punch, but you can keep infusing for much longer if you like—some herbalists let their fire cider sit for months before straining it!
• At this point, you can strain out the herbs from the liquid, but another option is to blend the whole batch in a blender or Vitamix and let it sit for an additional week (without shaking for the last few days to let the ingredients settle) before pouring off the liquid.
• Either way, once you’ve finished infusing herbs and strained the fire cider, add warmed raw honey to taste (start with about ⅓ cup), mix
thoroughly, and bottle. Because this recipe is made using fresh herbs, we recommend refrigerating the final preparation and using it within 6
months. Don’t forget to label!
• To use, take 1 tablespoon once a day as a tonic or up to 3 tablespoons daily during an active infection.
