Carrot, broccoli stems, cucumber, grapefruit, pineapple, orange, ginger root, turmeric root

This is so beautiful I had to share multiple pics!

Juicing is a great way to get nutrients from fruits and veggies in a very hydrating way! The key is to have more vegetables than fruit! Since you're removing the fiber, an all fruit juice mixture is basically drinking straight fructose with the nutrients. Dilute it with yummy veggies and ginger and turmeric!

Juicing is also a great way to use up the stems of veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, parsley, beets, etc! Whatever you have!

I feel so hydrated and nourished from a big jar of veggie/fruit juice 🥰

Been loving starting my day with a quart of herbal infusions (following Susun Weeds method) & ending my day with a quart of herbal tea 🫖🫙🌿

It's really been helping my hydration and I've been feeling so refreshed from all the plant medicine 😌💚

Alright ya'll...this is hands down THE BEST gluten free/vegan muffin I have ever tried. In fact...probably one of the best muffins I have ever had, period.

My mom and I had some fun making them together, loosely based on one of 's recipes. I am going to share our variation and I hope some of you try these because WHAT THE HECK I was not prepared for how delish they are (pro tip: better the second day 😍)

*I want to preface this by saying that w/ 3 party household, and one of those people being a very hungry worker of long hours, I tend to make a lot of food when I cook & bake, so this recipe is scaled to make 12 muffins*

🫐1.5 cups GF flour blend (I used a combo of rice, chickpea, and quinoa flours)

🫐3 tsp cinnamon, plus whatever other yummy spices you want!

🫐1.5 tsp EACH of baking soda & baking powder

🫐1 tsp sea salt

🫐1.5 cups applesauce (I only had about a cup of storebought, so I fine diced an apple, simmered it w/ water and spices on the stove, and then blended to make up the rest!)

🫐heaping 1/4 cup melted coconut oil

🫐3 tsp vanilla extract

🫐3 Tbs plant milk (we actually used watered down yogurt 🙊)

🫐 1/3 cup coconut sugar

🫐2.5 tsp vinegar

🫐generous helping of blueberries (or whatever mix ins you feel like adding 😋)

Mix is simple: combine all dry ingredients in one bowl, all wet ingredients in a other bowl, and then add them together before finally adding your blueberries or other mix ins!

Optional (but highly recommended!!!!) topping: blend of oats, spices, coconut sugar, rough ground almonds, salt, and some leftover granola. Moistened w/ coconut oil and sprinkled on top generously before baking.

Bake at 350° for about 20 min!

You probs won't be able to resist trying them right away, but they really do somehow get better the next day 💙
..Someday, I'll invest in some proper food photography tools, but today is not that day...

Sourdough enriched brioche from Mastering Bread !

This turned out so deliciously tender and fluffy 😍

I absolutely love this book .haynes2 got me for christmas... this is the first recipe I've made from it and I am not disappointed! ❤️‍🔥

Another fun sourdough loaf 🌟

I tried something new with this one and it came out beautiful and sooooo tasty!

I used master sourdough recipe but I used fresh orange juice instead of water for the dough, some zest from the oranges, chopped pecans and dried cranberries rehydrated with the OJ, half bread flour and half kamut flour!

Such a soft and bread with an ultra caramelized crust 🤤

Shout out to for the inspiration 🙏

Nothing makes me wanna bake more than a crisp fall day... colder weather = hotter oven

I've been disappointed with my last few loaves of sourdough so I went all out on three loaves this weekend. They came out 🤌 😋 My starter just needed a week of daily feedings to get super activated again 🤘

Howdy, folks! Remember me? 😅

I know it's been awhile (too long!) Since I posted on here. A new job, a busy life + not being the best at creating "content" means sometimes you might not hear from me for some time... but rest assured I'm still over here making stuff and exploring my health journey!!

This was a DELICIOUS purple sweet potato crust quiche made with local eggs from the neighbor (bless 🙏), homemade yogurt and some grass fed milk. I did about a half and half ratio of dairy to egg!

The sweet potato crust is what really makes this shine though!! I grated the purple sweet potato (yay for polyphenols💜) with my food processor and baked the shreds on low heat with a little bit of olive oil for about 20 min. This softens em up and also gets some of that excess moisture out! Once out of the oven I added a splash more oil and then molded them into my pie pans! No need to par bake these once in the pans 😘 just fill with whatever fillings you desire and then add your egg mixture and bake @ 350°F until puffed up and only ever so slightly jiggly. Around 20 to 30 min I would say but honestly I didn't time it...oops 🤭

This is a beautifully nutritious and oh so delicious alternative to a regular ole' flour crust!!

I tried my hand at being gluten free for the past 3 months and although I'm not as strict about it anymore I still avoid ultra processed gluten found in things such as white flour (or most flour 🙄)

Good thing there are so many amazing alternatives to flour out there that have just expanded my horizons 🌅

And on that note....Im off the finish baking the first loaf of kamut flour sourdough I've made in over 6 months! Oh how I've missed fresh sourdough made with ancient grains 🤤 tehehe

I am pretty excited about this new find in my quest to come up with healthier sugar alternatives!

It's date powder! Dehydrated and powdered dates 🥳 Its a whole food so it has fiber and other nutrients DEFINITELY not found in cane sugar!

I found this date sugar at a store here in CO but it can also be found online! There are many brands to choose from 😊

I tested it out by making some gluten free cookies and oh wow was it delicious! Seriously could not even tell it wasn't cane sugar. If anything, it had a deeper, richer flavor *chefs kiss* 💋

Here's the recipe:

Oven at 350° f

🍪 1 1/4 cup oat flour
🍪 1/2 cup almond flour
🍪 3/4 cup date sugar (definitely could of used less!! 2/3 cup would of been plenty)
🍪 1/4 cup grass fed butter
🍪 1/4 cup coconut oil
🍪 1 pasture raised egg
🍪 1/2 tsp sea salt
🍪 1/2 tsp baking soda
🍪 sprinkle of dark chocolate chips
🍪 sprinkle of peanut butter chips
🍪 sprinkle of chopped walnuts

1. Combine date sugar, butter, and coconut oil in a bowl and combine untill you get a creamy consistency.

2. Add in your egg and vanilla extract and mix just till combined (be sure not to over mix or you get more of a cake like consistency)

3. Combine all dry ingredients in another bowl and stir or whisk together before adding into wet ingredients.

4. Add in all your mix ins, chocolate & pb chips, nuts, whatever your lil heart desires and stir untill everything is evenly mixed in!

5. On greased or parchment lined baking tray, form into patties, slightly smaller than you want your cookies to be. These will puff up but don't expand all that much. So if you want cookie shapes you must shape them yourself.

6. Bake at 350° f for about 10 min. This really depends on how big you make you're cookies so keep an eye of them. In my humble opinion, an underdone cookie is always better than an overdone one!!

I plan on trying out this recipe to be completely vegan so stay tuned for that. I mean, a delicious cookie thats vegan, gluten, and sugar free? COUNT ME IN ❤️😉 😎

I'm sorry I've been a distant on here for a minute!! Between starting a new job, house hunting, and having a sick pupper, I haven't had much time to play in the kitchen 😥

But now I have covid and find myself on the couch for 4 days (and counting) Its been a hell of a ride, with evolving symptoms and little energy to do much of anything. I've been drinking copious amounts of tea, mostly throat coat, echinacea, and lemon ginger tulsi.. lots of smoothies too. Today was the first day I had enough energy to make some real food and it was a super simple Mediterranean inspired salad from things we mostly had on hand.

I used:
🌊 1 can of artichoke hearts
🌊1 can of pinto beans,
🌊 1 can of green olives,
🌊1 English cucumber
🌊half a red onion,
🌊1 container of cherry tomatoes,
🌊1 block of Feta cheese,
🌊Some olive oil
🌊Sea salt
🌊juice of 1.5 lemons
🌊3 clovs Garlic (pressed w/garlic press)

Pretty much threw everything in a bowl and mixed.

My body thanked me profusely for the fresh whole food sustenance 💙🙏

One of my biggest personal struggles is with sugar. It truly is an addiction. One that's deeply programmed into us on an instinctual level! It tastes good because it gives us quick energy and eventually stores life sustaining fat to make it through the cold winter months. But we don't need to put on extra pounds to survive through winter anymore. What we're eating is so incredibly refined from the fiber rich, complex carbs of our distant ancestors that it can be compared to turning coca leaves into co***ne. In fact, sugar is as addictive as co***ne and as detremental to your health as a cigarette habit (or a co***ne habit...) Now, carbs often get a bad wrap but its simple carbohydrates you should avoid. These are the ones that break down quickly into glucose in the bloodstream (aka spike your blood sugar). This delivers a quick boost of energy and then a crash, creating a vicious cycle. When there's no fiber to slow the absorption of glucose, you are basically signing your body up for a rollercoaster ride that will leave it depleted and looking for its next quick fix. This post is focused on the psychological effects of sugar, but it has severe consequences on your physical health also. Too many to go into right now but trust me when I say...refined sugar truly is as bad for you as ci******es and its addicting qualities make it an extremely popular additive in foods. You may not think you're eating a lot of sugar but if you're not reading labels and consuming a lot of packaged food, I've got bad news for you. There are 50+ sneaky names for sugar that are added to our packed foods. The average person eating a SAD (standard American diet) consumes a whopping 152 POUNDS of sugar every year. Thats 6 CUPS every week!! This can all feel totally overwhelming and honestly, it really gets to me! The more I learn, the more determined I become to find better ways to satisfy my sweet tooth.
