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?

Italian Tapenade

This recipe was created as a side dish, dip, spread, to go with my keto reboot plan because so many of you are asking me what I eat and how to eat high-fat. I love making a ton of recipes on the weekend and then using it during the week and this one is dang good. I like to put it in my coconut wraps, dip Mary's crackers in it, or add some to my quick high-fat salad lunch. Remeber that anchovies are a superfood and you can't even taste them! I swear!

Peppermint Pomegranate Mules with Ginger

I wanted to make something festive and of course something that tastes delicious and would be fun to make in a punch bowl or just for some family. I found organic pomegranate juice at Trader Joes after fresh pressing it for the event so I would recommend buying that. Has anyone ever tried juicing a fresh pom? Not only is it time-consuming but it is so dang messy, I hope you enjoy and make sure to take you a ctivated charcoal !

Balsamic Brussels Sprouts

So many people have the wrong idea about how brussels sprouts are supposed to taste, thanks grandma for ruining it for everyone! These bad boys are so simple, plus leave a tender inside and a crunchy outside.

Mashed Cauliflower with Thyme and Roasted Garlic

This recipe is one of those that will leave people in disbelief that they are not eating potatoes. The cauliflower becomes creamy and satisfying, but does NOT leave you feeling full and gross like potatoes do! This can be your holiday pot luck go to and I promise you will be the hit of the fiesta.

Hot Cacao Mate with Maca and Coconut Whipped Cream

This drink is creamy and decadent and made with Guayaki yerba mate which makes it not just any hot cocoa. I loaded it up with coconut milk and spices to increase the absorption of antioxidants and minerals (yes healthy fats help with nutrient absorption).
