Homemade Remineralizing Immune Boosting Tooth Paste

In an effort to save money I started making my own toothpaste a few months ago. With 6 people in this house, we can easily go through 6+ tubes a month. At $4+ each for natural, fluoride free toothpaste, it definitely adds up. Who wants to spend $288 a year on toothpaste?! Not this girl! Plus keeping track of who likes what flavor stresses me out. And honestly, even with the fluoride free stuff, I didn’t love the ingredients of store bought tooth paste. I put off making my own for a long time but I totally regret that because it is SO EASY. Less than 5 minutes and you are done. I wrote out the recipe and my kids […]

Yum! Grass fed beef burger, raw milk cheese, bacon, avocado and salsa. All organic. Sooooooo good. And already gone. And I didn’t share a single bite with the kids, even though they asked.

You know you are really pregnant when you find the time to blog and you choose to talk about food over the latest cute thing your kid did. Guilty.

We had half of a small organic watermelon left over this week. I rarely ever buy them and I wasn’t about to let it go to waste! The kids and I chopped it up and fed it through our Breville Juicer. Oh my goodness, just a small amount gave us a ton of juice! We then added some ice to our fresh watermelon juice and made a slush with our Magic Bullet. Just watermelon and ice, that’s it. Oh my, so refreshing on a hot summer day. And so much better than driving through Sonic like we used to. Did you know that Sonic refuses to disclose the ingredients […]

This pregnancy has been hard in that it is making me crave foods I no longer eat. Like Olive Garden. You know how when you are pregnant and you see a food, you instantly want it. No, neeeeed it. It is all you can think about until that craving is satisfied. Yeah, that is me right now. The cravings have been for Olive Garden and waffles, both of which I don’t eat anymore. It is soooo frustrating at times. So I decided to throw something together the other night that might curb my Olive Garden craving for awhile. It worked too! Add in a big Olive Garden like salad complete with onions and olives and a vinaigrette and I’m good […]

I’ve been posting some iphone photos of food we eat on my facebook and a few people asked for recipes. A lot of what we eat I just throw together, so I thought I would come share a bit about what we eat every now and then. We are gluten, dairy (most of us – a few of us consume raw dairy only) and soy free. We eat organic food, avoid GMO’s and juice fresh foods regularly. We try to eat a wide variety of nutrient dense foods daily. Last night, Jase was off at a political rally and since I can’t handle touching raw meat while pregnant, Ty made us grass fed, organic beef meatballs with marinara and I […]

My house smells heavenly right now. Hea-ven-ly. I’ve promised a bunch of recipes for food we made over the holiday to those who were with us…and I’ll start here. Not my recipe but one of another Austin momma.

Katie’s “Killer” Chicken Taco’s

Note: I added the killer part because it’s killing me to a) stir and b) wait until dinner time

-Take 1 chicken taco seasoning packet (you can use a reg. taco seasoning packet, but it really doesn’t taste nearly as good), and cover the bottom of the crockpot.

-Lay 6 frozen tenderloins or 3 frozen breasts on top of the seasoning.

-Take one container of fresh pico (use H.E.B.’s hot variety for kick) and […]
