My version on the left and the original on the right!

If you only make one or two recipes I have on my blog, this recipe and the Peanut Butter Cups, should be the ones!

I LOVE cereal, I sometimes used to eat it for dinner! Several years ago, there was a cereal bar in my town called Cereality and I spent a lot of time there! After reading Nourishing Traditions, I found out how unhealthy cereal is, even the organic ones aren’t good for us 😦

One thing that makes most cereal unhealthy is the processing of then grains, you can read a quick article about that here. I stopped eating it about five years ago and initially I was pretty bummed. I often wished there was a healthy option I could enjoy occasionally.

Thankfully, a few years ago I found Three Stone Hearth’s version of granola, the grains are property prepared and it has all kind of good things in it, like coconut oil and warming spices.

My husband and I have been “addicted” to this expensive treat. We eat it plain, with yogurt, milk, or make Acai fruit bowls with it! Originally, it cost $8 a quart but when the price increased to $15 a quart this past spring, I was more determined than ever to try and duplicate their recipe myself! Continue reading

My 6 Month…Umm….I Mean 9 Month Infusio Update!

This was supposed to be a six month update, so, so sorry it is super late! I felt it was important to wait until I had a follow-up appointment with Infusio before sharing how I’ve been. And honestly, at the 6 month mark there wasn’t much to share.

I still have been feeling really good! After returning from vacation in mid-June, things have been extremely busy with school, harvesting fruit, and getting ready for the arrival of chickens! I’ve had a few 10 hour days of studying, working in the orchard, and/or working in the kitchen preserving fruit and I’ve handled it really well.

For this appointment, I had to travel to L.A., which is part of the reason it took so long for me to have a follow-up. I kept waiting for Phil to make a stop in Marin so I could see him there, and unfortunately his schedule hasn’t allowed him to be in that area.

During this appointment, I wasn’t able to see Phil in person, instead I met with  Sara Whitney, the naturopathic doctor who also practices in L.A. She was super nice and seemed extremely knowledgable. We ended up calling Phil via FaceTime to get his opinion of my scan.

My most recent scan was very interesting! It was definitely not as “pretty” as the scan I had one month after Germany.

The great news is no Lyme or co-infections showed up AT ALL!!

Yes, you read that right – NONE AT ALL!  Continue reading
