While you can buy quality bone broths, making your own will likely lead to a more wholesome & nutritious superfood broth… and you literally use parts of the chicken or beef that you would discard anyway, so it feels “free”. I’m always more motivated to make my own during the winter… give it a try!

My husband & I love salmon patties. I’ve started making them without full-on breading + using a healthier frying oil… and my husband can’t tell the difference!

You could also exchange the salmon for tuna (if you’re good with strong tuna taste).

The kids are going back to school, so let’s talk healthy breakfast ideas! We have some go-to’s, but I also gleaned some ideas from my awesome group of like-minded mamas who wanted to share as well! Obviously, variety & simplicity is great, but there are always going to be those days when we default to something quick that may not be as healthy as we’d like OR give in to the school breakfast choice… it’s all about balance, right?

EMF is ElectroMagnetic Field that is a result of mobile radiation from devices in waves that effect our bodies on many levels. Every day we spend more and more time using our tablets, computers, and smartphones. We are constantly sharing information, networking and communicating with our friends, our business partners, or just using these devices for fun… which is great, but did you know that all these devices emit radiation, which may be harmful to the human body?

There is nothing wrong with following a meal plan, timed nutrition or specific eating methods, but it’s probably in your better interest to do it for short periods as a reset or jump start versus a lifestyle. Often times it can lead us away from being in tune & connected with our body, and some people end up experiencing disordered eating or the opposite of true health. For long-term healthy eating habits, it’s important to be aware of your own body’s rhythms, hunger cues/hormones, and create mindful healthy habits that support YOUR body in the best ways. While mindful eating for your body & life takes awareness you may not find easy, it’s actually a really cool milestone to take healthy eating education + awareness of YOUR own body and adopt a mindful eating practice.

Sometimes it may be caused by a food sensitivity or intolerance, but many times it’s a result because of our eating behavior.
