My Pinewood Kitchen, gut happy recipes
Some of us know all too well about food sensitivities and how challenging it is to find food that one can not only eat, but that tastes good too. Who wants bland, horrible tasting food just because they cannot stomach gluten? Who wants a plain old can of beans if they are vegan, when they can prepare some easy and delicious meals like blackeyed pea croquettes (see picture above)? Delish right?!!! That is not eat either. My Pinewood Kitchen, created by Mee McCormick who suffered with auto-immune diseases, that were able to heal herself by changing what she ate. I can relate to what she has gone through, coming from…

Delicious Gluten Free Desserts from Inspired by happiness #ValentinesDayGiftGuide
Delicious gluten-free desserts are not always easy to find. I am not, at least not yet, completely gluten-free, however there was a time last year that I attempted to go gluten-free as part of a cleanse that I was completing for our Hale Fertility Challenge ⇒ here. It was just a touch of what those who are gluten-free go through and it was not that easy of a road. Currently, I am reducing the amount of sugar in my life which is awesome, but, while doing the gluten-free stint, I noticed that there are not many pre-made gluten-free dessert options, so when Inspired by Happiness sent me some sample gluten-free desserts I…

ProNourishâ„¢, A New Nutritional Drink
I have found out a lot of interesting things about my body since detoxing while on our Hale Fertility Challenge, which helped me lose 15 pounds. I have learned that my body is more sensitive than I thought and it also happened with age. I thought I knew everything, but after having an allergy test done some things were confirmed even more. My body does not like everything and everything is not good for me. How about you? I used to love Fruity Pebblesâ„¢ and Rice Krispiesâ„¢, but later on in life, the milk that I was using (cow’s milk) started not to love me. Almost instantly there would be a…

Georgia Grinders: No sugar added nut butter options
Kid-friendly snacks and meals can be a challenge for all. We want what is best for our kids and it starts with us as parents. We have to ensure that they are eating food that does not contain anything harsh as part of the ingredient list. That is why I love this Georgia grown company, Georgia Grinders aka Naturalmond, because their nut butters have ingredients you can trust and ingredients you can pronounce. I love butter and I stress love butter to the point where I will sit down right beside the kids and eat a peanut or nut butter sandwich but for the most part the nut butter has sugar in it which…

Hale Fertility Journey Month 2
Waiting is the hardest part for me. Waiting to see what is on the other side of that door. Waiting to see if it is all going to be worth it sooner than later. I do not doubt so much if but it is when, but it has got to happen soon Father God. I do not know how much more we can take. Is this the month? Is this the month that I can finally say yes I am going to put in my leave of absence form to my manager?
