“The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,
And a good report makes the bones healthy.” Proverbs 15:30
I’ve seen quite a few post about the health benefits of bone broth. This is made when you take chicken or beef bones and cook them with vinegar for an extended amount of time, usually 24 (chicken) to 48 (beef) hours. Are the health benefits really worth investing all that time? Continue reading “Bone Broth”
Gluten-free bread can be hard to swallow, quite literally. When someone is considering a gluten-free lifestyle, bread is often the deal breaker. I have heard so many people say, “My doctor (or someone) said I should cut out gluten, but I just can’t give up bread.” or “I am gluten-free, except I occasionally have bread.” 🙄 (just a note- your not actually gluten free then)
Something as simple as a piece of bread can be standing between them and potential better health.
If you are gluten-free, consider sharing your favorite bread brands Continue reading “Vote: What Is Your Favorite Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread?”
“Be sober and vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8
Free radicals
Our bodies are made up of cells with molecules, and molecules consist of atoms. Molecules (atoms) like to have paired electrons. When a molecule is damaged and losses an electron it is know as a “free radical”. This causes it to become unstable. Free radicals want that electron back so they go around Continue reading “Whoa. Free Radicals Can Be Good For You.”

Your body needs a little sugar. Natural sugar is the best option. Unfortunately, we tend to use quite a bit of added sugar.
While sugar is sugar and no added sugar is good for you, there are some sugar choices that are better than others. That’s not to say they are healthy, but they are less harmful than poor sugar choices. The key is Continue reading ““Better” Sugar Choices”
Here is a partial listing of conditions that can be linked directly or indirectly to Celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. Gluten not only directly damages various parts of the body, it also causes nutritional deficiencies that adversely effect the whole body. So while these symptoms seem completely unrelated, they can be traced to a Continue reading “Do You See Yourself Here?”
I like these little toasts. They make tiny sandwiches without the refined carbs of bread. They give the sandwich a unique taste with the sweetness of the sweet potato paired with the saltiness of your filling.
Gluten is a difficult protein to digest. It is thought, for some people, the immune system sees the gluten particles as the an enemy and attacks it (producing antibodies) causing inflammation in various parts of the body and poor absorption of nutrients which leads to various health problems.
There is no evidence that everyone needs to avoid gluten. For many, it has become a fad diet or a way to seek weight loss, however that does not mean it isn’t a real condition. Gluten creates real health problems for many people.
Eggs have gotten very confusing. There are so many different varieties, it’s hard to know what to buy. Is it really worth spending $8 on a dozen eggs when I can get them for $3? What’s the deal with the yellow vs. orange yolks? Does it even matter? So many questions. My head spins at the grocery store. My mission has been to figure out what all these words mean and which ones are important. I also wanted to figure out what the deal is with the yellow and orange egg yolks.
