Genesis Apothecary & Homesteading

Genesis Apothecary & Homesteading Plant based healing products designed to continue a mission of natural healthcare. I believe that I am finally on the path God intended for me to walk.

I am striving to offer people all natural healing plant based products, and continue a mission of healthcare I have been dedicated to for more than 30 years. I decided on the the name Genesis Apothecary because the definition of Genesis is: beginning, origin, or beginning, and an apothecary is an old term for pharmacy. Genesis 1:29 Then God said, Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. They will be yours for food. Our food has changed drastically over the course of the last number of decades, but it truly IS medicinal...for the body, and the soul. If we all work together, we can get back to our ancestral roots and a better overall well-being.

We took a short trip to get out of the house and landed at Golden Harvest in Merrill. Had a very nice conversation with a like minded sales associate with an evident passion for turmeric bugs, mullein, and foraging...thank you for the wonderful chat sir!

And I wanted to share one of our purchases...I'm not sure I can get blackstrap molasses as reasonably priced anywhere - even better that it's in one of my favorite packages (a mason jar)! 😉 They have the best fresh Hodag bread, and I always pick out dried fruit (as it's one of the only things I'll eat in my car when I'm seeing clients). I really do love this store.

Today on the homestead...

We have an abundance of garden veggies from last year yet, so I decided to make winter squash lamb stew for dinner. When I tell you the house smells amazing right now... it's an understatement!

We're always up for trying new flavors, and I'm thinking this is not going to disappoint.

Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised to see a recipe that called for sumac! I know that it's a common middle Eastern and Mediterranean spice. We've used it in pancakes and added blueberries... yum!

Lastly, after nearly 6 long months of fighting one health issue after another, I've gotten the thumbs up to return to work. I'm excited to be going back to home health nursing on an as needed basis. I've missed my team, patient care, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this next week goes! I'm praying that things continue to improve from here.

Stay healthy y'all! 🥰

On the homestead today...

We're spicing things up in the kitchen again (finally) and got around to tending to the pineapple carrot and habanero ferment! She's been percolating for 6 months. Can't wait to try it on our roasted chicken tonight. She packs a little heat, but it's nice, and the flavors blend very nicely.

And my sweetheart made some sweets...peanut butter brownies, because it's winter, and who doesn't like a treat once in a while? ❤️

If anyone's interested, we have a small supply of 4 oz jars of hotsauce available. Feel free to message!

On the homestead today...

Some of the richest Bird Bone Broth I've ever made! 5 quarts in the canner, and 4 more to go. I can hardly wait for our next soup! And cost per serving, is literally pennies... take that supermarket and extra ingredient commercially made broth in a can!

Goodness takes time...and love!

Stay healthy and take care y'all!

Love from the urban homestead! 🥰

Kitty snuggles thrown in just for good measure!

It's a brisk morning here in the Northwoods, but we're warding off the "bugs"!

Looking forward to seeing any brave souls willing to venture out to the Q & Z Expo Center in Ringle today.

Stay healthy y'all!

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

I just received a call from a very concerned client, and rightfully so! She reported that her 25 pound dog got hold of, and ate, 1/2 of a 2 ounce tin of black walnut salve last night 🥹 and called to get a list of the product ingredients. While she told me the dog vomited shortly after ingestion, and went outside to go potty this morning, she still doesn't seem 'right'. After a short discussion, I strongly encouraged her to call her vet for more appropriate medical direction, and an update if she was so inclined.

Folks, I'm a fur baby momma... they are just as spoiled as my children and are every bit as much a part of the family, and most days I'll say I like them more than most people. I know all too well how mischievous they can be, and that is what is prompting this very important announcement.

PLEASE, and I beg you, as with ALL medications, keep them out of reach of both children and pets. This is NOT to shame, blame, or otherwise... this makes my heart hurt that a fur baby inadvertently got hurt.

While my common sense is saying, it's unlikely that this baby is suffering toxicity from exposure to a black walnut hull infusion, it's not 100% impossible. My remedies are made with all natural ingredients, but that doesn't mean they can't be harmful.

I'm saying prayers for a little fur baby this morning and hoping that everything works out to be okay.

With a heavy concerned heart... stay healthy y'all... and stay warm, the upper Midwest is showing us who's boss this week.🥶

Chive blossom vinaigrette!

1/4 cup chive flower infused vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tbs fermented garlic honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Cracked pepper to taste

Put all ingredients into a pint mason jar and use immersion blender 'til your heart's content.

SO much better than store bought dressing.

This is an example of what would happen if my ADHD brain was in charge of directing the senior class Christmas song 😂... only this is much better!

Tis the season! Hoping you enjoy a much as I did.

Stay healthy and be blessed!
