Delicious Homemade Bone Broth

Importance of Traditional Foods

April 29, 2013 by Katie Wells

If you’ve read my blog much, you probably noticed that I’m big on homemade bone broth and fermented foods like sauerkraut and with good reason… What are Traditional Foods? Traditional foods are foods that were consumed throughout history before the modernization and industrialization of the food supply. These foods are not only free from additives, chemicals …

Carrot Ginger Soup Recipe

April 26, 2013 by Katie Wells

My amazing friend Whitney brought me this delicious soup right after I delivered my daughter and our whole family liked it so much that I had to ask her for the recipe. In fact, as soon as I convince her to start a blog, I’ll be sharing all of her recipes because I’ve yet to eat …

Homemade Anti-Itch Cream - Like Calamine Lotion

Homemade Anti-Itch Cream

April 24, 2013 by Katie Wells

With kids, skin irritations are a fact of life… especially during the summer when things like mosquito bites, poison ivy and other insect bites can cause skin problems. I’ve also been hoping to eventually expose my kids to chicken pox (though I’m having trouble doing this as no one seems to get it anymore!) so I wanted …

Easy Grain Free Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard

Healthy Chicken Fingers Recipe

April 22, 2013 by Katie Wells

Chicken fingers are a kid (and adult) favorite, at least at our house. As with all of our favorite foods, I’ve found healthier alternatives to the traditional versions as we’ve adopted a healthier diet. This particular recipe uses almond flour to create a grain-free, gluten-free chicken tender that tastes even better than “regular” versions (at …

DIY Natural Blush Make-up Tutorial

April 18, 2013 by Katie Wells

I’ve written about natural homemade makeup options before, but I wanted to share a specific recipe for homemade blush as I only vaguely touched on this before. Cosmetics are a major source of exposure to toxins for many people, and making your own cosmetics and adopting a natural skin care routine for your skin type …

Natural and safe alternatives to hormonal contraceptives

Natural Alternatives to Hormonal Contraceptives

April 17, 2013 by Katie Wells

I realize I just crossed the line from fun posts about lotion bars or sea salt bath fizzies or how to eat liver without gagging and into serious territory… I’ve gotten dozens of requests for natural alternatives to hormonal contraceptives, and while my naturally introverted nature tends to shy away from controversial topics, I decided …

Liver and Onions with bacon- a liver recipe you will like

Liver and Onions (with Bacon)

April 16, 2013 by Katie Wells

It turns out that after all the childhood fear and drama about organ meats, they are actually good for you. If you aren’t already eating liver, you should be! The objection I get most often (including from my mother-in-law) is that liver is the filter organ, so it contains toxins from the body and is …

Old Fashioned Black Drawing Salve Recipe

Black Drawing Salve Recipe

April 12, 2013 by Katie Wells

Black drawing salve is  a natural remedy I first heard about when visiting a local Amish community to pick up produce and eggs. I saw one of the farmer’s sons applying what looked like tar to his arm after getting a large splinter from a fence post. I asked what he was putting on his …

I recently read the book The Paleo Coach: Expert Advice for Extraordinary Health, Sustainable Fat Loss and an Incredible Body by Jason Seib and would recommend it, especially to those searching for motivation in switching to a healthier lifestyle. Jason is a friend and business partner of Sarah Fragoso (who blogs at Everyday Paleo) as …

Herbal Mouth Wash Recipe Tutorial

Herbal Mouth Wash Recipe

April 3, 2013 by Katie Wells

Our family has now completely switched to a natural oral health routine. We eat to boost oral health and even make our own remineralizing toothpaste. The one thing we hadn’t used since changing our oral health routine was mouthwash, as most commercial versions are filled with chemicals and artificial colors and flavors. This homemade herbal …
