Crock Pot (or Instant Pot) Meatloaf Recipe

September 30, 2019 by Katie Wells

Love it or hate it (we love it!) meatloaf is a classic comfort food. This is a great versatile base recipe that works in the slow cooker or Instant Pot to keep things simple. I can either pop it in the slow cooker early in the day, or toss it in the Instant Pot half an hour …

September 25, 2019 by Katie Wells

Second to fat, protein is one of the most misunderstood and sometimes vilified sources of nourishment.

Are Essential Oils Safe for Pets?

September 21, 2019 by Katie Wells

In healthy living circles, essential oil use is often an everyday thing. It seems like there’s no harm jumping on the bandwagon! Since essential oils are natural and have amazing benefits, they must be safe to diffuse at will and slather all over your body daily, right? You might guess that my answer to that …

Benefits and Uses of Horsetail (Shavegrass)

September 19, 2019 by Katie Wells

I’ve been using herbs and herbal preparations for years now to treat mild issues at home. Horsetail (also called shavegrass) is an herb that I always keep in the herb cabinet (which is what I have instead of a medicine cabinet!). It has been my go-to for hair, skin, and nail health but I am still …

Help! Am I Addicted to Food?

September 13, 2019 by Katie Wells

While food is an important part of life, our food habits can sometimes be unhealthy (like eating at night!). Food is a source of nourishment and pleasure but sometimes eating can move past a pleasurable part of life and move into addiction territory. Is Food Addiction Real?

Coconut Flour Waffles (Gluten Free & Dairy Optional)

September 10, 2019 by Katie Wells

When we went grain free, I thought I had given up the waffle iron forever. Instead we ate a lot of variations of frittatas and breakfast casseroles or repurposed leftovers. The waffle iron sat in our attic for a year until the kids asked if we could make waffles again. I played around with a lot of …

DIY Room-Freshening Pumpkin Spice Spray

September 4, 2019 by Katie Wells

I have a confession to make… I wasn’t always a fan of the pumpkin spice craze that would hit when Fall rolled around. Your tastes really must change as you get older, because now it’s not uncommon to find me eating pumpkin pie (unsweetened) while sipping a pumpkin spice latte! Of course, pumpkin spice candles …
