This rosemary-infused beet relish is the perfect addition to sliced meats (Christmas ham, anyone?) and frittatas. And, it’s a good way to get more gut-healthy beets in, too. No fancy ingredients required!
Action precedes motivation – One life-changing perspective. Really!
Might you have had it wrong all these years? Have you been thinking that motivation drives action?
We’re heading into the silly season. A time of added stress. So today, a nifty little technique that you can use whenever that feeling of overwhelm hits you (and you can do this anywhere). It’s one of my favourites.
Easy Christmas Kraut is the perfect festive addition to your holiday table. Festive and fruity with a little bit of spice. It’s simply YUM! (Makes for great Chrissie pressies, too)
One of my best-ever recipes, these herbed slow-cooked lamb shanks are RIDICULOUSLY GOOD! So good that you’ll want to make it again and again. And, it freezes beautifully! So good!
This LAMBtastic Shepherd’s pie with crispy leeks is a very tasty AIP=-friendly take on the original (mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes). It has oodles of vegetables and it’s a great way to use up leftover lamb AND gravy! YUM!
Are you a people-pleaser like me? Do you experience an emotional need to please others even at the expense of your own needs? I get it. And I get that it isn’t easy to stop being one, too. This is for you.
How to practice the pause – a pause is a temporary rest. It’s also a very useful tool to help you manage stress and practice mindfulness. Learning to practise the pause can help to prevent you from jumping to hasty conclusions or making choices that don’t serve you.
Perfectly Pumpkin Spice Gummies. Yep – I succumbed to the pressure of the pumpkin! This baby was created because I wanted to see what the fuss is about. A healthy pumpkin sweet treat that’s both good for your gut and one tastes great, too!
