I need more healthy zucchini recipes… I’ve been thinking this in my head for the past few weeks. If you like to garden, even it’s just a small veggie patch in the yard, you have probably already discovered the amazing producing abilities of zucchini. It can be pretty overwhelming to try and figure out new and creative […]
Beef and Chinese Green Beans
Holy cow this dish was one of my better ideas. Beef and Chinese Green Beans popped into my head one recent weeknight when the kids and I were pondering what to make for dinner. We were kind of tired of our usual weeknight meals (Broccoli Beef, Curry Chicken, Fried Rice, some-kinda-noodles). I’d picked up some […]
Curry Chicken Salad
Who knew curry chicken salad could be so easy? Browned chicken, veggies and curry mayo mixed together in a bowl. Done. Finding proteins to put in the kids’ lunchboxes is sometimes a pain in the patoot. Especially as a longtime vegetarian, I struggle with ideas for meaty things that will taste great cold. Well, because, […]
Black Bean Tortilla Soup
Tortilla soup is one of those Tex-Mex favorites that I’ve always wanted to love. I mean, how can you go wrong with a soup topped with avocado and pico de gallo? But, alas, I don’t really dig chicken and it’s almost always a chicken soup. So, I crafted this easy peasy Black Bean Tortilla Soup […]
Delicious Desserts with Essential Oils
Delicious Desserts with Essential Oils You’ve probably noticed by now that I, like most humans, LOVE dessert. I also LOVE Young Living Essential Oils (learn more here). So it seemed like a no-brainer for me to start making desserts with essential oils in them. And then I decided to look for some inspiration for MORE ways […]
Paleo Lemon Coconut Balls
Paleo lemon coconut balls? Yes, please! Lemon + coconut plus done in less than 30 minutes? Oh, yeah! I am not a huge chocolate dessert person. I mean, it’s yummy. But if I get to choose, I prefer citrusy desserts. I love lemon bars, but I don’t make them too terribly often. I love these […]
My Favorite Pain Relief Cream
My Favorite Pain Relief Cream By now, you might have noticed that I LOVE my Young Living Essential Oils. They don’t just provide me with essential oils, though. Nope. They’ve got some amazing cleaning products, beauty products, and…this amazing pain relief cream. While lots of other pain relief creams are made with harsh chemicals and […]

When mood slumps hit, I rely on these five natural mood boosters to put a little more pep in my step. 5 Natural Mood Boosters 1. Exercise: I know, right? When you’re in a slump, sometimes exercise is the absolute last thing you feel like doing. But you don’t have to go crazy and join […]
Thieves Cough Drops
Why I Love Thieves Cough Drops I’ve mentioned my adoration for Young Living’s Thieves products before, but I thought I would take a minute to talk about one my new favorite Thieves products: their cough drops! Of course, you can make your OWN lozenges (here’s my recipe for homemade lozenges), but if you’re a bit […]
Paleo Sweet Potato Pie
I big puffy heart custard pies (minus the gluteny crust). So this custardy sweet potato pie with a cookie crumb/pecan crust is absolutely perfect. The recipe comes from a great cookbook I recently acquired, the Outlander Kitchen Cookbook. The cookbook is based in part on foods from the awesome scifi-romance series, Outlander. The natural herbal remedies […]
