How to Cook a Perfect Prime Rib

December 30, 2019 by Katie Wells

One of our holiday traditions is to cook a prime rib (from a healthy source). At first I was a little nervous about cooking such a fancy cut of beef, but I figured I’d give it a shot. I did a little research and found a simple, hands-off cooking method that sounded perfect. And it …

Creative ways to be generous

Creative Ways to Be Generous This Year

December 22, 2019 by Katie Wells

‘Tis the season to think about charitable donations (at least if you plan to deduct them on taxes), but giving monetary gifts is definitely not the only way to be generous. We try to focus on giving our children experiences as gifts as much as possible (though they still do get physical gifts too). We’ve …

How to Make a Charcuterie Board as a Healthy Appetizer

December 22, 2019 by Katie Wells

Have you ever heard of a charcuterie board? If not, it’s simply a French word for a platter of cured meats and cheeses, and sometimes dried fruits, nuts, and pickles. I kept seeing them at events and on appetizer menus in nice restaurants and finally decided to try making my own. It proved to be a …

Eco Friendly and Reusable Ways to Wrap Gifts

Eco-Friendly & Reusable Gift Wrap Ideas

December 20, 2019 by Katie Wells

I love Christmas and the holidays because this time of year is all about gift-giving (and experience sharing) but unfortunately, there is a dark side to holiday giving that many people don’t even think about: the amount of extra waste produced by the gift wrap, bags, and ribbon. Christmas Waste? Consider this: in the US alone, we …

December 17, 2019 by Katie Wells

When we have dessert, it’s frequently something simple like cookies or fresh fruit. However, when we want something extra special or a little fancier, we love this gingerbread cheesecake.

46 Ways to Give Experiences Instead of Stuff This Year (Even Last Minute)

December 14, 2019 by Katie Wells

In the midst of holiday gift giving, I can’t help but think about the fact that often these well-intentioned gifts eventually lead to more stress, for the giver and the receiver. So much so that over time my husband and I decided to give experiences instead of material gifts as much as we can. After …

25-Minute Pad Krapow Gai (Thai Basil Chicken)

December 10, 2019 by Katie Wells

With a large family, I’m a huge fan of quick meals. Any recipe I can get on the table in less than 30 minutes is a win. If it uses only one pan, that’s even better! This Pad Krapow Gai (Thai basil chicken) recipe is both. What Is Pad Krapow Gai? In Thai, pad means “stir-fried,” …

How to reverse tooth decay and remineralize cavities

How to Remineralize Teeth Naturally & Reverse Tooth Decay

December 7, 2019 by Katie Wells

If you are like me, you grew up with the idea that sugar and bad genes cause tooth decay. Cavities and tooth decay meant a person needed to brush better and eat less sugar. And it certainly wasn’t possible to remineralize teeth. I believed all that stuff too… but as it turns out, there is …
