healthy recipes to check out

go here.

here's one of the recipes.
Shepherd’s Pie
This version of shepherd’s pie is made without the traditional starchy potatoes and uses mashed cauliflower instead.  It also contains grass fed beef, making it an ultra-healthy alternative to traditional shepherd’s pie.  It tastes very close to the original.  It also makes for a great presentation.

1  head cauliflower
1/2 tsp minced garlic
2 tbsp organic butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 organic egg yolk

Steam cauliflower until soft then transfer to a food processor or blender, puree the cauliflower with the garlic, butter, salt, pepper, and egg yolk.

1tbsp coconut oil or grape seed oil
2 pounds grass fed ground beef
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1/2 large onion, chopped
2 tbsp organic butter
1 tsp xanthan gum (thickener)
1 cup organic vegetable broth
1 tsp wheat free Tamari (soy sauce)
1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)

While the cauliflower is steaming, preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil to pan with beef.  Season meat with salt and pepper. and brown with carrot and onion until the meat is no longer pink.  In a separate saucepan cook butter and xanthan gum together combining well. Whisk in broth and tamari.  Thicken gravy about 1 minute. Add gravy to meat and vegetables. and stir in the peas.

Preheat broiler to high. Put meat mixture into a rectangular or round baking dish and spread cauliflower over the meat as evenly as possible being careful not to let meat show through.   Broil 6 to 8 inches from the heat until potatoes are evenly browned.

I thought I was eating healthy...

and then my mom went to a class. And she told me all about it. And she bought this book. She said, "You should see what 'healthy eating' looks like."

The teacher of the class showed them a hamburger from Mcdonalds that was from 2008. It was still recognizable. There was no mold; it just sort of shriveled. That is the most disgusting thing ever. I am never eating there again.

One change per week. This week's change: no more cereal. Because there is no healthy cereal on the market. I already knew that, but I figured Shreddies and Corn Flakes and Sally's Best from Walmart were healthier than Fruitloops.

a song for me

it's been a hard few weeks; this song is speaking to me. 


Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea:
A great High Priest, whose name is Love,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.

My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart;
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair,
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look, and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.ly
Because the sinless Savior died,
My sinful soul is counted free;
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

Behold Him there, the Risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace!

One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ, my Savior and my God
With Christ, my Savior and my God

safer cleaning products (and much much more!)


Recently, I opened an account with Melaleuca.

Melaleuca is a health and wellness company. You probably haven't heard about them because they don't advertise in magazines or on TV. They are strictly around because of "word of mouth".

I wanted a line of products that was healthy and very affordable, but yet was effective. Also, it proved to be a wonderful opportunity to make money at home. 

With Melaleuca, you will receive better value and better products. They have lower prices, lower cost per use, and one-of-a-kind product exclusives.

If you are interested in hearing more about Melaleuca, I would be happy to share the knowledge!
