This Gluten free tortilla recipe is so easy to make. Couple that with the affordability factor and you’ll be hooked. The minimal ingredients in the tortilla recipe make it such a cost effective option. Stores often charge a pretty penny for anything “gluten free”. And if you’ve ever embarked on the GF journey, you’ll know that store bought items are just not the same. They always have a gummy consistency to them and are often highly processed. That’s why I always recommend that if someone is trying to avoid gluten, that they work on finding a good gluten free all purpose flour and a handful of easy recipes.

Health Benefits of Beef Liver & Organ Meats

January 12, 2024

You may have noticed the increase of chatter surrounding the health benefits of beef liver and other organ meats. The topic is trendy, the act itself is ancestral. It certainly can look like a trend when a topic gets a big wave of support throughout the wellness community. In some ways, sure, it’s “trendy” to discuss the nose to tail style of consuming animal meats. But, in actuality, consuming organ meats along with muscle meats is a traditional and ancestral way of eating. We have lost a lot of nutrient density to our diets by eliminating the nose to tail traditional way of eating. With the rise of chronic illness, it can be important to pay attention to what our ancestors did or didn’t do. They led healthier lives with less chronic disease.

Eating the whole animal can feel intimidating. But if we only consume muscle meat, we leave behind a plethora of nutrient density that is missing from modern day diets.

The Best Organic and Non Toxic Self Tanner

January 10, 2024

If you’re looking for a good organic and non toxic self tanner, look no further. Everyone loves a good glow to their skin. If you live in a Northern area like me where the snow takes over half of the year, you’ll appreciate having an option even more so. I always feel a bit more confident when I have a bit of a tan to an otherwise pale complexion. That being said, I don’t have access to warmth in the sun all year. I love the sun and all the health benefits it has to offer. But even in the summer months, I like to moderate my time to ensure I’m not contributing to fine lines and wrinkles. I often turn to self tanner when I am craving that bit of glow. Most self tanners on the market are quite toxic and not something I’d want to be putting all over. Eventually I stumbled upon a unicorn and I am sharing all about it.
