Food is medicine. Recipes create magic. It is so important that we pay attention to the foods we eat and serve our family. The food industry isn’t always forthcoming with their lack of regulations and we need to be informed so we can make the best decisions for our health.
One of the best ways to ensure your body is being nourished well is to make your own foods. Using simple ingredients that are elevated by incredible recipes.
Baking with sourdough starter has been such a fun process to get into. I know many people shy away from learning how to bake with it, but it isn’t quite as cumbersome as some expect. It may seem a bit confusing at the beginning but isn’t everything when it’s new? As adults, we often become comfortable in what we know and rarely move out of our comfort zone to learn a new skill. We have honed our skill set, have the jobs that work for us, and don’t often need to learn a new task. We forget what it’s like to learn new skills and sometimes make a mountain out of an ant hill. In my opinion, Sourdough is just a new skill that takes some practice at the beginning. Once you’ve got it, you got it! I certainly don’t regret learning how to make this healthy, easily digestible and incredibly delicious bread! Here is an incredibly easy way to convert any recipe into sourdough!
There is no doubting the benefits of bovine colostrum. It is an incredible traditional source of vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It is known for it’s health benefits such as bolstering the immune system and gut health. If you want to learn about 10 major benefits of colostrum, you can head to my blog post HERE. Now that colostrum has had a bit of a popularity boost, there is a bit of confusion over which brand is best. There is one very popular brand on the market that has done a great job with their marketing called ARMRA. However, I personally believe there is a better option. Cowboy Colostrum is giving ARMRA a run for their money. These two options are both good quality, but they differ for a variety of reasons. I am running through the differences between Cowboy Colostrum vs. ARMRA Colostrum so you can decide which may be best for you.

Getting enough protein in your diet is incredibly important to your overall health and wellness. If you’re looking to meet your protein intake each day, one of the easiest ways to ensure you’re meeting those requirements is by adding the best clean & whole food protein powder to your daily regimen. There are so many protein powders on the market but many are low quality, made with synthetic ingredients and contain added fillers. When you’re trying to focus on your health, you don’t need to be adding unnecessary gums and fillers to your body. That is why it is so incredibly important to source a quality protein powder and why I am sharing my very favorite options after years of testing different options.

There has been a hidden health gem for thousands of years that most humans have had at the very beginnings of their life but may not realize. The health benefits of colostrum are endless and we were all designed to receive this super food as newborns. All Mothers produce colostrum before their milk comes in to feed their babies after birth. Colostrum is incredibly nutrient dense and provides deep nourishment and a slew of vitamins and minerals for babies while the Mothers bodies are working hard to establish breastmilk. This dose of nutrients sets babies up for wellness and acts like a kickstart to their immune systems and bodies overall. Colostrum can also provide the same health benefits to growing children and adults far beyond those early postpartum days. But, Mothers only produce this “liquid gold” for a short period of time so we need to look for outside sources of this nutrient outside of our early postpartum days.
