Wishes really do come true! At least some do, like when I put a couple of Green Kid Crafts discovery boxes on my kids wish list, and then my friend Stephanie emails to let me know I'll be getting a free one as part of the Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle that happened last week. I bought gemstone mining kits from the same company as Christmas [...] Continue Reading

My Goals For 2017 and a 48 Hour Flash Sale
Are You Goal Setting For 2017? I am! Most years I can't cram all my goals into just one word, but this year I can: WELLTH. It comes from a book I picked up recently. The strategies covered in the book are mostly written for people that are new to healthy living (do yoga, eat real food, practice thankfulness) but the way the author, Jason [...] Continue Reading
Hot Buttered Rum – A Recipe For Chilly Winter Nights
Note from Mommypotamus: I recently simplified the recipe found in this post using this hot apple cider as a base and wanted to re-share it with you. Have you ever thrown some kernels in the air popper, walked away to grab a celebratory glass of wine, and then returned a few minutes later to realize that you forgot to put a bowl on the countertop?

If you hadn't already guessed from this cauliflower crust and this zucchini one, pizza is kind of a big thing in my house.

Sugar Cookie Recipe (Gluten-Free, Paleo)
Do you remember what you got for Christmas when you were sixteen? Neither do I, but I can tell you that was the year my mom ended a huge argument between us by shoving her fist into a raw chicken, treating it like a puppet, and refusing to answer questions unless I directed them TO THE CHICKEN.

Kohlrabi Fritters From The Wellness Mama Cookbook
The first time kohlrabi arrived in my CSA box, I posted a photo of it on Facebook with "What is this, and what can I do with it??" Turns out, a lot of things: add it to slaw, roast it with salt, toss it into soup, or better yet, make kohlrabi fritters. We planted it in our garden this year, which means I've tried it lots of different ways. This [...] Continue Reading

"If your house is really a mess and a stranger comes to the door, greet him with, 'Who could have done this? We have no enemies."' - Phyllis Diller- That's my Plan B. Plan A, of course, is to stay on top of the thousand fingerprints that appear on my fridge and the thin layer of who-knows-what on bathroom counter with this all-purpose cleaner.
