Beet and Nettle Herbal Broth

Sometimes you accidentally make something so good  and so nourishing that you have to get it up right away.  This was one of those sometimes. Most of my recipes come from something that I have made forever and at some point I get asked for the recipe so many times that I just commit to writing the post!

This recipe was divine creation! I tasted it and wanted to drink that whole pot.  Seriously.  
​

I started with the intention to make my Vegan “Bone Stock”, but I had lots of beets and beet greens from the garden that needed to be used.  My dad always makes his stock with beets and I love it, so I decided to throw them in. I also had extra nettles and a bunch of other leftover herbs from the summer. Then I started to throw in all of the other “extras” that I had. So, it began.

It turned into a deep red, nourishing, herbal goodness.  I will be adding this broth to my cleansing and postpartum protocols.  I am in love.

Postpartum or Recovery Peach Chicken and Mashed Sweet Potatoes

I’ve been making this yummy and super nourishing Peach Chicken and Mashed Sweet Potatoes  for new mamas or people recovering from surgery.  I make it especially when peaches are in season, but I have used frozen peaches many times with amazing results. This meal is so easy to digest, warming, and nourishing.  Peaches are known to help rid the body of pain and decrease stagnation in the tissues.  They are especially useful for clearing pain in the lower abdomen.  Sweet potatoes help decrease toxicity in blood, increase milk supply, and help to decrease excessive fluid in the abdominal cavity. These recipes are great for any type of recovery when reserves are low and digestion may not be strong. I often hear that this meal is the first thing that the recipient was finally willing to eat after not having a good appetite!  If you are bringing a meal to someone, consider bringing this one. Don’t forget to make enough for you. You’ll regret it if you don’t!

Vaccine Preparation and Detox Protocol

This is not an article to debate the vaccine issue.  

If you are reading this article, you are likely vaccinating your children or yourself, or  you are considering it. 

This is an article to support parents to keep their children healthy. While this article is geared towards children, it is just as relevant and applicable for adults. Regardless of your belief system about vaccines, every adult and parent should know how to prepare for, and detoxify from, vaccines.  I believe that we all want what’s best for our children and for ourselves!

This is simply a guide for healing and balance.  A guide to prepare the body for vaccines and to detoxify the body after receiving vaccines. If you are vaccinating for any reason, consider adding a healing protocol to your plan and choices. ​

To Heal Others, We Must First Heal Ourselves

I've been thinking a lot about this one lately. It's something that keeps coming up for me over the years with my family and often with clients that are on their healing path. As people heal and get well, of course they want the same for their loved ones. I get questions like, “So what am I going to do about my kids? What am I going to do about my husband? They're still not eating well. What can I possibly do?”  Or I hear, “I'm clearing out all this energy and I see things differently. What can I do about my partner?”

Many of us go there.  I know that I have in the past.

Vegan "Bone Broth"

This recipe is for all or my vegetarian and vegan friends out there that are looking for something delicious and deeply nourishing, like bone stock, but vegan!  Don't get me wrong, we are kind of die hard bone stock drinkers in our home, but I grew up vegetarian, my Dad is still vegetarian, and so many of my clients and friends are very healthy vegetarians or vegans.  This broth is delicious and full of nourishment.  It has similar gut healing and energetic properties to meat bone stock, and will soothe your soul in the same way.  We use this as a replacement for boxed veggie broth in soups and sauces as well.  I particularly love this broth for a homemade Korean egg soup. The original recipe for this broth came from  Wall Flower Kitchen. I have just tweaked it to make it my own.  You should too!  Enjoy!
