Book Review 30 Day Guide to Paleo Slow Cooking

30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking Book Review

June 29, 2013 by Katie Wells

Bill and Hayley, authors of Gather and Make it Paleo, have come out with yet another great book in their new 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking. As someone working on a first book, I really have no idea how they manage to write and beautifully photograph these books so quickly, but they certainly haven’t …

I’m a big fan of natural sea salt and of magnesium, and this recipe combines both to create a sea spray that is nourishing for the skin.

How to Make Beet Kvass and why

How to Make Beet Kvass

June 26, 2013 by Katie Wells

I must admit that when I first got the book Nourishing Traditions, beet kvass was one of the recipes that I glazed over and didn’t plan on making. I wasn’t a huge fan of beets then (no worries: I have since discovered this delicious roasted beet salad), and I didn’t even know what kvass was, …

Book Review Beyond Bacon

Beyond Bacon Book Review

June 21, 2013 by Katie Wells

I must admit, I was skeptical when I first heard about “Beyond Bacon.” Certainly, we have many favorite recipes that involve pork at our house, but an entire cookbook devoted to pork? Now that I’ve had the chance to read Beyond Bacon, I can absolutely see why a cookbook dedicated to only pork is such …

How to make natural ginger ale- a healthy and delicious treat full of probiotics and enzymes

Natural Ginger Ale

June 19, 2013 by Katie Wells

It turns out that soda hasn’t always been the high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavor concoction in an aluminum can that we know today. For hundreds of years (and probably much longer) cultures around the world have made various forms of naturally fermented “sodas” from sweetened herbal teas or fruit juice mixes. These natural …

How to Make a Ginger Bug

June 19, 2013 by Katie Wells

If you aren’t familiar with naturally fermented beverages, you might be asking what the heck a ginger bug is and why you should make one… A ginger bug is a culture of beneficial bacteria made from fresh ginger root and sugar. It is similar to a sourdough starter for bread or a kombucha SCOBY. The …

7 Ways to Eat More Coconut Oil and Get the Benefits without Eating it Straight

7 Ways to Eat More Coconut Oil

June 12, 2013 by Katie Wells

I’ve written before about 101 ways to use coconut oil for everything from oil pulling to lotion to toothpaste. One question I often get asked is how to actually eat coconut oil, especially if you don’t like the taste… The word is getting out about the health benefits of coconut oil, but especially for those …

chicken fajita salad

Chicken Fajita Salad

June 9, 2013 by Katie Wells

Salads are one of my favorite summer foods since there are so many delicious ingredients in season and they don’t have to be heated to prepare. I’ve always had a thing for Mexican food, and while I love the restaurant fajita salads, they aren’t usually the healthiest or most frugal option. This salad is a …

Squeezable Homemade Remineralizing Toothpate

Squeezable Homemade Toothpaste

June 8, 2013 by Katie Wells

I’ve posted my recipe for remineralizing homemade toothpaste before, and a reader recently shared her adaption that allows it to be squeezable (many thanks to Melina!) It also combines the bentonite clay of the toothpowder recipe with the remineralizing recipe for a double dose of minerals. The addition of water to this recipe makes it …

Money Saving Tip- Stocking a DIY Herb and Spice Cabinet

Stocking A DIY Herb and Spice Cabinet

June 5, 2013 by Katie Wells

I’ve gotten several emails of late asking me to detail what is in my herb/spice cabinet and how much of each item I order to make sure I have enough on hand to make my various recipes. While it’s always preferable to grow and dry your own herbs, purchasing them from a reputable source can …

Butter Pecan Ice Cream Recipe

June 4, 2013 by Katie Wells

Ice cream is a kid- (and adult!) favorite dessert, but store-bought ones often contain high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors and flavors, or other ingredients that we avoid. I love making ice cream at home. This butter pecan ice cream recipe is a healthy, and incredibly delicious alternative to store-bought ice cream. It’s also really …
