How I Cured My Cystic Acne by Eating Only Meat on the Carnivore Diet

Anyone that’s had chronic acne even for a short time knows how hard it is to deal with, both physically and emotionally. As an adult that becomes worse especially if you’re thin like I am (and lived most of my live severely malnourished) and have people regularly mistaking you for a drug addict. Well it […]

Ghee: The Better Way to Do Butter, How to Make it and Why You Should

Ghee is one of those things I’ve heard about for years but never bothered with myself, which is a big mistake. Turns out it’s all the good stuff of butter and none of the bad stuff making it better for the dairy intolerant. It’s honestly a culinary delight as far as I’m concerned and I’m […]

Instant Pot Rib Eye Bone Broth Carnivore Stew, Delicious and Wholesome

I spent a few weeks on the carnivore diet experiment before I stumbled on this steak and broth recipe that I call Steak Soup. At first I was saving the leftover steak and bones from meals and adding water in the instant pot. It has since evolved into something wholesome and delicious. Broth and stew like […]

How to Make Easy Pumpkin Puree in the Instant Pot!

It’s that time of year and while the seasons are not changing like I am used to from childhood (I’m a girl from the snow belt living in southern Mexico’s Acapulco Bay), I have determined it’s time for pumpkin and so have the local grocery stores.  These imported California Sugar Baby Pumpkins are 50 pesos […]

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Now I’ve said before that I’ve not been terribly impressed with gluten free baking in terms of flavor and texture and that’s the truth. I finally found a recipe that I really feel is worth a damn as far as gluten free is concerned and here it is guys. I bring you gluten free peanut […]

Kombucha Chronicles Part 11: Weed Berry Booch

As a Cannabis lover, my first question when trying new things is almost always something along the lines of “Can I put weed in it?” I kid you not, as stereotypical as it is that’s where my mind goes. It’s been revolutionary for me as far as health is concerned, so it’s only natural that […]

Kombucha Chronicles, Part 10: My Personal Unschooling and Learning to Brew

My kombucha hobby is a bit of an obsession at this point, which I find very interesting. It’s one of the few health food things I’ve taken on and actually rolled with. Booch may just be the kick in the ass I needed to really pursue getting healthy. That being said it’s been an interesting […]

Kombucha Chronicles Part 9: Fine Tuning Your Brew and Cleaning Brewing Vessels

  Everyone’s kombucha tastes are different. Some swear by the continuous brew method, in which you never really remove the scoby from the vessel in which it brews, save for a few cleanings a year.  Then there’s the batch method, where you clean and sterilize your jars every cycle.  When I noticed a slight change […]

Keep Calm and Free The Boobies!

Okay guys, time to talk about an topic that’s pretty important to me, although a bit…controversial. That might not be the proper term, but I’ll get to the point. I’m talking about breasts here, and whether or not we (women) should even bother with wearing bras, something touted as necessary for female breast health and […]

Cacao Nibs: The Tasty Brain Loving Superfood

  I’ve got a new love, guys: cacao nibs. I’ve had them in smoothies primarily where they add an interesting crunchy texture, but they’re also great plain. It’s one of the only ways I like the dark chocolate flavor profile and I think texture has something to do with that. They’re crunchy in a super […]

DIY Vegan Strawberries and Cream Oatmeal Recipe

I’ve always had a secret love for that packaged strawberries and cream oatmeal and yesterday I decided to take a crack at my own. This was partially motivated by the fact that I have these “Fruit Stick” things that remind me of the little fruit pieces found in those packets. Using those and sliced frozen […]
