WINE that does not hurt our health, with a nutrition label to back it up!
Want to drink with no hangover or nasty side effects? Well, did you know not all wine is created equal. Just like the food industry, shortcuts start to take place when there is an increase in production. Commercially made wine can cause excess sugar, preservatives, and other harmful ingredients that are added to enhance flavor and aging. To be exact, the wine companies can legally use over 70 added chemicals AND what is left is your big fat hangover!
Spice up your VIDA with my new spices!
If you know me you know quality is a huge factor in anything I put in, on or around my body. From food to my sheets, it’s all about reducing toxins and increasing the good guys that boost our immune system, especially right now. Spices are not all created equal. Just like how you choose organic local veggies, wild-caught fish, grass-fed meats, it is same same. Have you ever considered your spice cabinet could be filled with toxins, heavy metals, GMOs, rancid ingredients, and inflammatory toxins?
Spaghetti Squash with Meat & Mushroom Bolognese
Prep Time: 25
Cook Time: 1 hour
Serves: 6 people
One of my favorite winter meals, but to be honest I make it year round because it is so comforting and very satisfying. The meat sauce is a staple that I learned from my Pop and once you make it I promise your family will be begging for more!
Spaghetti squash is packed with fiber and vitamins like carotene and vitamin A, plus you do not need any special tools to make it into "spaghetti" you just use your fork.
Are you inflamed, it might be that bed of yours?
Did you know you spend a third of your life wrapped up in your sheets? What type of sheets do you cuddle up in at night? What do you wash your sheets with?
How to drink without the hangover
The holidays shouldn’t be a time for guilt or sacrifice. They’re a time for love and celebration! Alcohol can be a vibrant part of this celebration, believe me, I love a good handmade cocktail (see below) and a big glass of (non-toxic) wine, but you have to drink the right stuff…
That is why I recommend and personally LOVE Dry Farm Wines.
Homemade Ricotta
You guys, this recipe is so easy and so dang good, you will never buy Ricotta from the store again. Plus, this is so fresh that you are receiving all the nutrients and none of that inflammatory shelf life stabilizers, additives and gross stuff!
Herb Spiced Lamb Pitas
This recipe screams summer and is perfect for a BBQ because it's EASY and all your amigos will want the recipe, I promise. At first I was confused why this recipe didn't tell you how to cook the lamb, then I figure out that you put the raw lamb mixture in the pita and what happens is the lamb cooks inside the pita, the fat will melt into the bread, creating a crunchy, vibrantly flavored meat sando that’s unlike anything you’ve ever had before, I stuffed these ones with a herbed yogurt sauce, thinly sliced red onions and heirloom tomatoes.
