Honored to grow food for our community!

It's fun to talk farming and ag policy with our state representative while she picks up her veggies for the week.

I know who grows my food. Do you?

Remember when What The Health had you all concerned about the health consequences and ethical dilemma of eating meat? Well, Kale vs. Cow (which I wish was called Kale and Cow) is a much needed film that will shed light on the importance of HOW an animal is raised and the impact that has on our health, the health of the planet, and the health of animals.

I just finished doing inventory on our winter food supply (yup, I geek out over this kind of thing). I won't bore you with the exact numbers but needless to say I'm pretty excited to have salmon, beef, lamb, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, pesto, melon, green beans, peaches, plums, pickles, relish, salsa, ketchup, dilly beans, carrots, beets, onions, garlic, winter squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes, apples in various forms, and pickled peppers for the winter.

In case you're looking for an egg-free pumpkin dessert. I'll be making this for Thanksgiving!

No bake pumpkin tart with salted coffee caramel that is paleo and dairy free! SO easy to make and packed full of fall flavors.

Date night!

Some days it takes a village. A big thanks to my Mom and Sister for processing A LOT of basil while I ran around outside like a chicken sans head.

"With the top cause of poor health largely ignored, is it any mystery that obesity, diabetes and related conditions are at epidemic levels, while health care costs and premiums skyrocket?"

Poor diet kills hundreds of thousands per year. If we want to achieve meaningful health care reform, we need to address our nation's nutrition crisis.

I don't stay up past my bedtime often but when I do it's always for a good reason!

12/09/2017

It's starting to fill up!

There is just something about flowers!

My sister found these while cleaning up her hard drive. Yup, that's me ... almost exactly 6 years ago. Look past the arms to the belly if you will. No, I was not pregnant ... that's some serious bloating. At the time, I was so fixated on the rash that I didn't even notice the digestive upset. However, I was able to heal my rash by focusing on my digestive health. The skin on the outside of the body and the skin of the inside of the body are closely connected. I share this because I see so many people struggling with skin issues and being told it has nothing to do with what they are eating. That's simply not true. If you have eczema, psoriasis, acne, or any other skin eruption it's important to critically evaluate the health of your digestion.

Soon to be dehydrated zucchini noodles and chips!

It's so easy to make a veggie rich breakfast when it's already chopped and ready.

13/08/2017

Onions, peppers, grass-fed beef, carrots, broccoli, and kale = breakfast

I like salmon, a lot, but I struggle to find the quality I desire at a price I can afford ... until now. If you're in Durango (or the surrounding area) check out Silver Wave Seafood Co. The order deadline is August 25th and shares can be picked up in Durango mid-September. Whoot!

The last of the 2016 harvest and the empty jars for the 2017 canning and pickling adventures. I want to try some new things this year like picked beets and ketchup. What are some of your favorite things to can?

Love me some lettuce and Tierra Vida Farm

I still haven't taken the time to watch What the Health because I'm busy and frankly, it feels like a waste of time. I know, that's a bold statement but from everything I've already heard, I couldn't agree more with Dave when he says, "Not all meat is created equal – and some meats aren’t even good enough to be considered food." So yes, some meat is dangerous to your health but some eat is incredibly beneficial ... there is a whole world of grey here that isn't discussed in the film. I'll take the time to watch the movie soon but in the meantime, please read this article and share it with your friends that watched the movie and were convinced that fat is bad and sugar is healthy.

Wondering what to tell your friends when they ask you about What the Health? Here are the top 10 claims from the film and the real science behind them.

Isn't it pretty?

02/08/2017

Farm fresh ... enough said!

Salad for breakfast? Yes please ... especially when the beets and carrots are sautéed and it comes with a side of bacon!

28/07/2017

Sometimes it easier to eat the salad from the serving dish (plus, less dishes).

In case you think your genes control your health.

New research dispels the belief that the strength of the body’s defense system is genetically programmed

Have you seen, or heard of, What The Health? If so, give this a read please.

Is eating meat killing you? That’s what you may think after watching the popular new movie “What the Health” (WTH) on Netflix. WTH portrays itself as a documentary by film maker Kip Anderson, who sets out in his trusty blue van from San Francisco to answer questions about a healthy diet. Since Ander...

Yuck ...

I seriously need to know what foodies in the 1950s were thinking!

24/07/2017

I made these for a potluck last night and they were a hit!

These healthy chocolate fudge zucchini brownies are rich, moist, and extra fudgy... thanks to a secret healthy ingredient: zucchini!

Regardless of your diagnosis ... this is worth the read.

Fatigue can be one of the most life altering effects of thyroid disease. Imagine what you could do if you got back your energy.

I might need a bigger pan!

It's all about being connected to nature ... including dirt!

Should I use antibacterial soaps? How often should I bathe my child? Those are just some of the questions Jack Gilbert, a microbiome scientist, answers in his new book.

Yes!
