Can we take a moment to talk about meal prep? What Can we take a moment to talk about meal prep? What is your routine? How do you manage the weekly meals? I aim to go to the grocery store twice a week (Sunday/Monday or Wednesday/Thursday). For us, breakfast (smoothies, etc.) and lunch (leftovers, etc.) are pretty straightforward, but dinner is where I constantly have to work to get out of a rut. Before grocery shopping, I create a list of 3-4 dinner meals, shop accordingly, come home, and slightly* prep (marinate, etc.) so that weeknights are more manageable. Depending on my mood, weather 🤣, how full the day is, I will make a decision the day of as to which of the 3-4 meals I will make that evening. And, have I mentioned how much much I love @thedefineddish recipes. She makes recipe inspiration easy. 😘
I have had many messages of moms feeling alone rig I have had many messages of moms feeling alone right now. For most of us, isolation came long before, but for those new, know you are not alone. We never wanted to be in this boat, yet here we are. I am grateful for each one of you choosing empathy and understanding over anger and hate. If you need a little support, I’m here for you.
My “boys” just came home from a pretty memorab My “boys” just came home from a pretty memorable weekend off at father/son camp (thank you, @campridgecrest ). As a special welcome home treat, I surprised them with this strawberry “milkshake” smoothie. Here's what I tossed together, but tweak as you need😘 Strawberry “Milkshake” Smoothie 🍓 1 frozen banana 1 1/4 c. frozen strawberries (plus a few fresh strawberries if available- approx 1 1/2 c. combined) 1 date (pitted) 1/2 c. zucchini (approx 1/4-1/2 zucchini depending on size) 1/2 c. frozen riced cauliflower 1/2 c. clean coconut milk like Simple from @nativeforestbrand 1/2 c. water 1 dash of vanilla extract (optional) 1 tsp hemp seeds (optional) 1 tbsp cashews (optional) 1 tsp dried hulled rosehips (optional) Blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender (we ❤️ our @vitamix) until smooth. Many ingredients are linked in my profile under Amazon-Low Glutamate Food Finds 😘
Our family LOVES to hike and can be found wanderin Our family LOVES to hike and can be found wandering in the woods during most of the summer. After a bullseye rash and Lyme scare a few years ago, I started incorporating the herb Cistus before hiking as it is known to repel ticks. This mild and sweet-tasting herb was an easy addition to our herbal teas, but it wasn’t until recently that I discovered the actual benefits of this incredible herb. Sardinian Cistus Incanus has a long list of healing properties but is most well known for its anti-bacterial, anti-mold, anti-viral (Lyme, herpes, EBV, HIV, etc.) properties and as the foundation of treatment for all chronic illnesses (autism, ADHD, ALS, Parkinson’s, cancer, chronic fatigue, etc.). It contains a considerable amount of antioxidants, adaptogens, and works as a biofilm buster for chronic/ persistent underlying infections. Take a look at this from Dr. Klinghardt, and be sure to read/watch his post on it if you’re interested in more information. “Conclusion: To date, my clinical work with wild-harvested pure Sardinian Cistus tea and whole leaf Stevia is the least invasive yet most effective treatment for Lyme disease and many other modern chronic illnesses caused by persistent and hidden infections.” “So how do we use it? The Sardinian tea leaves are brought to an ultra-brief boil, then simmered for 5 minutes and cooled down. The pot/pan has to be covered with a lid to avoid the escape of the volatile oils from the plant, which contain the precious manoyloxides and labdanum – responsible for the powerful anti-Lyme effect. Whole leaf Stevia tincture is not just added to sweeten the tea but for its important anti-Lyme effect. Do not use the commercially available clear Stevia extract! I use the products from KiScience only, which fulfill all of our criteria to tame the retroviruses, mold, Lyme, and other bacteria and viruses. The same tea leaves should be re-brewed 2 more times since other polyphenols, and plant adaptogens are extracted when doing this.” https://klinghardtinstitute.com/articles/sardinian-cistus-incanus/ <%22>
I wrote these words down months ago and still thin I wrote these words down months ago and still think about them daily. Certain people just have that unique energy you need to be near, and @sashmgash has it. @sashmgash thank you for being you, sharing your love, and inspiring me along the way. I miss you.
