real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
Mountain Rose Herbs has been known for years for their dedication to sustainable organics and highest quality botanical products. I’m very familiar with the quality of products coming from them, as I will not purchase anything but the best when it comes to loose leaf tea, elderberries for making syrup (recipe coming soon!), and essential…
During our kitchen event this week, I’m hoping to share some ideas for creating healthy eating habits in your kiddos! Today I’m going to show you how I let my girls help out in the kitchen with age appropriate tasks, and tomorrow I’m going to show you how we do kitchen play! I don’t think…
If you missed Monday’s post on making the easiest crockpot chicken, check this out! If you are wanting to “start somewhere” with your real food journey I would say besides getting the processed food out, this is one of the best. So simple. So nourishing. It is like medicine. For practically free. No really. It…
It’s Monday. Mondays are pretty uninteresting. The work week begins. The girls are begging for their playmate, I mean, Daddy since they got to climb all over him all weekend. But I LOVE Mondays. I crave routine. Mondays are chicken days here. We pick up a pastured chicken at our local farm on Saturdays, let…
It’s Mexican night! We love taco and fajita nights! Don’t you?! I’m going to show you a very CHEAP way to bring a powerfully flavorful dinner to your family! This is one meal that I love to make with beans and rice to make my chicken for the week last. I skip out on a…
We LOVE avocados! It was one of the first foods I introduced to both girls in addition to cod liver oil, egg yolks, and coconut butter, full of nutrients and good fats to fill those bellies and grow smart healthy brains 🙂 They sure can be expensive though! At least where I live! A couple…
I really cannot tell you how many different pancake recipes I have tried 🙂 I like to do pancakes every other week or so – but not just any pancake – something that is going to be filling, nutritious, and not send my families’ blood sugar through the roof! One of my favorite recipes is…
As I was bringing a fruit dish to a family gathering this summer, I had the thought that it would have been a little more special had I put a fruit dip with it…And maybe it would be a fun afternoon treat for the girls every once and a while to have with their fruit…
Regardless of weekend or weekday morning, I really try hard to start my family’s day with a nourishing breakfast. Most workday mornings I send my husband off with a power packed almond or coconut flour bread, muffin, or scone. I batch bake and freeze these once or twice a month, and pull out what I…
We are so blessed to live in such a great area for berry picking all summer! We just said good-bye to blueberry season and hello to raspberry season at Delange’s Red Berry Farm a couple weekends ago. The girls had so much fun – and I was able to gather much more with my awesome…
Ok guys, this has been one of my hardest recipes to nail down. I have been working on granola bars for a couple years now. After I read Nourishing Traditions just over 3 years ago, I learned about the importance of soaking grains, seeds, and beans. In short, the phytic acid in these foods can…
Over the summer, we were blessed with a bottle of *real* olive oil. I mean, like straight from Greece 🙂 We have some dear friends that have a family farm there, where they press their own olives every year. It is the most delicious olive oil you will ever taste! I drizzle it over veggies…
