fighting what’s going around!

Tonight my husband walks into the kitchen and he says, “They’re advising people to stock up on food so they don’t have to go to the grocery store.” I said, “We do a lot to fight off things that are going around.” But it got me thinking: all the vitamin C, vitamin D, probiotics, bone broth, the highest nutrient dense diet, whatever vitamins and food you do to keep your immune system strong, it’s really not enough to prevent getting sick, in my...

How to Prepare for a Coronavirus Shutdown

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"> When my kids’ school district announced last Thursday evening that, after one more day of school to prepare students for at-home learning, all schools would be closed for at least two weeks in order to prevent the spread of covid-19, the dominant emotion I felt was relief.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pancakes

This week was both stressful and busy, so about half way through the week, I started telling myself that I’d make some pancakes as a treat on Saturday morning. Pancakes aren’t an everyday food here in our house, I might only make them a few times a year actually. But this week, I was really craving them and knew I had to have them. By Friday, I had pancake fever: I needed pancakes. And I had also been working intensely on the launch of our new organic, grain-...

Weekly Meal Plan – Week 3 of Whole 30/21 DSD

As I write this, we’ve made it through two full weeks of the Whole 30/21 DSD. I finally turned a corner this week and felt pretty great most days. My moods are more even (read: there were less episodes of me telling Mike I hated his ass face), I’m sleeping great, and don’t get that late afternoon face-meets-wall thing around 2 pm like I used to. I have tons of energy and have been feeling great through my WODs, even the heavy breathers which I usually suck ...
