What is Fasting?
Derived from the Old English word fæstan, which means to fast or make firm; fasting is essentially about self development. These days, food is something that we as humans have readily available day or night but that is not always the way it has been. In hunter-gatherer times, just like eating seasonally, fasting was a way of life depending on the season or location of food at a given time. It was essentially built into the system of living since food was not always readily available, like it is today.READ MORE
Something that I really enjoy is the ability to make delicious food quickly and with a few ingredients. I often hear that eating healthy is expensive or difficult but I love the opportunity to show people that what they are saying isn’t necessarily true. Take for example, these delicious and healthy spinach stuffed mushrooms that contain only six (main) ingredients and take about 30 minutes to make, and most of the time is spent in the oven. It took me a few tries to get this right but I was determined. And boy am I glad I stuck with it because these are GOOD.
Apparently, I can’t get enough pumpkin in my life. This bread is SO good and I’m happy to be sharing it with you. Not only is it packed full of health, it’s also gluten free and super moist thanks in large part to the coconut oil. It makes a great snack, breakfast or dessert and is becoming a favorite of mine.
It’s a new year and you know what that means.. New Year’s Resolutions. I try to stay away from “resolutions” and instead I return goals that I feel need to be reset. One of the most important yearly goals that I tend to revisit is to stay organized! Life is hectic, between kids and careers and the in and outs of daily life there are many things that can get lost in the chaos and the rest can begin to pile up, quickly. While there are many tips, tricks and cool systems that can help to keep your home organized, I’m talking more along the lines of life organization. The goal is to keep daily life in order in hopes that it will lead to more time keeping the house in order. We can at least try, right?
When the fall rolls around each year, I start dreaming of pumpkin. Pumpkin pies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin.. everything! So what better way to celebrate all of the deliciousness that are the pumpkins than by making your own pumpkin puree.
