Spelt- healthy or not

What’s the Deal with Spelt?

May 20, 2016 by Katie Wells

If you’ve looked even briefly into the controversial topic of whether or not to consume grains (see my take here), you’ve probably heard of a “better” choice called spelt. This ancient cousin of wheat has enjoyed rising popularity in health food circles in recent years, especially among those with food sensitivities. But should spelt be …

Nootropics and Smart Drugs: Brain Boosting Substances?

May 18, 2016 by Katie Wells

Throughout human history there seems to be a constant search for a silver bullet or pill that will make us faster, stronger and smarter. Sure, there are more difficult ways of accomplishing all of these goals (through various types of training), but humans seem fascinated with the search for a substance or “hack” that will make the …

Creative Ways to Use Eggshells

May 11, 2016 by Katie Wells

If you’ve paid a little extra for healthy food, or even produced it yourself, you know the value of using up every last bit. Many of my recipes rely on eggs as a healthy protein source, but have you ever thought about holding on to those eggshells? And I’m not just talking about throwing them …

How to Make Compost Tea

May 9, 2016 by Katie Wells

I’ve heard it said that “gardening is cheaper than therapy and you get tomatoes.” There seems to be some solid science to back up the health benefits of gardening (and to explain why gardeners might live longer as well). Besides the obvious benefits like super-fresh produce and time spent outside, there are some less well-known benefits to …

Is Moringa Really a Superfood?

May 7, 2016 by Katie Wells

There is a simple tree known as “the drumstick tree,” or scientifically as Moringa oleifera, which is commonly touted as a superfood since it is rich in nutrients, antioxidants and other beneficial compounds.

Grilled Yellow Squash Recipe

May 6, 2016 by Katie Wells

I always look forward to springtime, as the warm weather, gardening season, and fresh produce make me happy and get us out of doors.

How to make soaked and dehydrated almond butter in five minutes

Homemade Almond Butter Recipe

May 4, 2016 by Katie Wells

Peanut butter is a staple in most American families, but did you know that the peanut is not a nut at all? It is actually a legume and in the same family as beans and soy. Our family avoids most legumes because of the impact they can have on the gut and instead use natural nut butters …

Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes Recipe (With Slow Cooker Option)

May 2, 2016 by Katie Wells

Our garden produced a ton of sweet potatoes last year, so I had to get creative to find ways to use them. We fried them in tallow, baked them in the oven, and even grilled them on low heat on the grill. We even used them as the “noodles” in homemade lasagna (it was delicious!) and made …
