Harvest Time Cinnamon Spiked Tomatoes

Comments Off on Harvest Time Cinnamon Spiked Tomatoes

Eating cinnamon spiked tomatoes on a hot summer day is one of my favorite memories from childhood. My mom and dad turned our backyard into an organic garden. She and my father spent many a day and night canning the bounty of fruit and vegetables harvested from it. My most memorable and favorite things that came out of that garden was my mom’s cinnamon spiked tomatoes, her peach syrup and apple cobbler. Oh, and how could I forget, the strawberries. Tons and tons of fresh red, ripe, juicy strawberries. Those were the days! Her cinnamon spiked tomatoes were incredibly tasty and so refreshing, especially on hot summer days. And best of all, they’re super easy to make! She said her mother used to make them and she carried on the tradition. They were definitely a family favorite and didn’t last long. While she didn’t have access to our Cinnamon Bark … Continue reading →

One simple thing that you can do to support your body on a daily basis is to start the day off right with a cup of warm lemon water! Begin by drinking 8 oz. of warm water (not boiling) with the juice from one half a lemon mixed in before breakfast. CAUTION: Don’t put lemon juice in water that’s warmer than 140°F, as this can break down all of the goodness inside. This morning ritual helps thin bile to get it moving. It’s a great way to gently cleanse and detoxify your liver and kidneys*. NOTE: Lemon juice is acidic and can affect teeth enamel. After drinking lemon juice/water be sure to rinse your mouth with plain fresh water! Kick it up a notch with Lemon Vitality! Lemon Vitality essential oil is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit, making it alkaline and not acidic like lemon juice. Add … Continue reading →

Soothing Thieves Tea

Comments Off on Soothing Thieves Tea

Thieves® tea is quite tasty and very soothing. There are several versions for making Thieves tea but this one, which includes raw apple cider vinegar and honey, is my favorite and super simple to make.   The addition of apple cider vinegar (ACV) helps alkalinize the body. The acetic acid in apple cider vinegar helps your body absorb vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat, and also slows down digestive enzymes to regulate blood sugar levels. Controlling of the acid in your body is perhaps one of the single most important processes you need to support. Thieves® is a legendary blend of essential oils is formulated with Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary, which provide immune support and cleansing properties when taken internally.* 1- Simply brew your favorite tea or just use plain ole hot water. …I like using The Republic of Tea’s Honey Ginseng Green Tea … Continue reading →

DELICIOUS Gluten-Free Mock Oatmeal

They say timing is everything! I think I’d have to agree after the last 24 hours. Let me explain… Yesterday, I had some bananas that were beginning to get too ripe and didn’t want them to go to waste so I decided to freeze some of them to use in smoothies. I peeled several of them and put them in the freezer, and carefully hung the remaining three back up on the banana holder. Shortly afterwards I went back into the kitchen and found that the remaining three had started peeling themselves and got a good chuckle out of it. I thought it strange as I have never seen them do that before! Not wanting them to get infested with gnats, I carefully removed them from the hanger and laid the peeling back on the bananas, and then placed in the refrigerator.   Early this morning, I received a phone … Continue reading →

I love to adapt recipes whenever I can to fit our needs and taste buds. I absolutely LOVE it when I can easily change or adapt one to incorporate the use of Young Living’s essential oils. I recently saw a recipe for a Southwestern Chopped Salad and I knew immediately this recipe was a match made in heaven and that it would easily allow the use of essential oils. Another benefit… this recipe adapts so easily to making mason jar salads, my new favorite for busy schedules. This salad, with its beautiful bursts of color, is not only very nutritious but also very appetizing and sure to make mouths water. The use of mason jar salads is another cool option to help you with your weight management goals as they are healthy, and quick and easy to prepare ahead a time. Adding kefir to this recipe was the icing on … Continue reading →
