Gut Healing Soup (That ACTUALLY Tastes Delicious)

Image
If you're anything like me, you maybe struggle from time to time to find FAST, EASY, NOURISHING recipes that the whole family will enjoy. Personally - I can eat something that doesn't taste that great if I know it has nutritional benefits. My toddler and husband? Not so much.. This recipe, however, was SO fast and easy - and the entire family scarfed it down. 16 month old, AND husband. I will list how to make this recipe step by step, and attach a link to everything I purchased. All you have to do is click the links, and it will bring you right there so that you can check it out for yourself! I mostly followed Dr. Axe's recipe from his book,  Bone Broth Breakthrough . I highly recommend this book. He mentions the healing powers of bone broth, TONS of recipes to make, as well as a few nutritional guides and challenges to try out! Definitely worth the money. I cooked this recipe in my  Instant Pot . If you don't have one yet - you quite honestly NEED one

Do I add more than a teaspoon into my coffee at times? Highly likely. Do I care? Nope. I'm going to give you my personal recipe at the end, but first - I'm going to tell you a secret. I sort of avoided fats my whole life because I was under the impression that eating fat (healthy fat) made you...well....fat. I didn't understand. Your body actually NEEDS fat. A few months ago, I totally embr

The Best Bed Ever

Aright. This post might be completely boring to some of you but if ANY OF YOU are on the tireless (pun intended) search of a fabulous bed - look no further. You may or may not know that I love to research things. Every. Thing. Beds are no exception to this rule. We have been wanting a king bed for what feels like forever, but probably was more like - ever since our queen bed has been just a bit TOO snug with a toddler, dog, husband, and myself. I came across many different companies that used organic products. This was important to me. But then I ran into one of two things. Either they were EXTREMELY expensive, or they didn't have great reviews. A few companies even had terrible reviews AND they were expensive. Total bummer. But then, it happened. I came across a company called Tuft & Needle.  CLICK HERE TO SEE THE BED I PURCHASED This company is slightly rebellious (which I totally enjoy) and they are bucking the system by calling other companies out. They cl
