So… you know when you think you know all the things… You know what to do, and know what triggers you, and you know the supplements to take, and foods to eat or avoid to feel your best? Yeah? Me too. And that’s why I’m finally reaching out to a health coach for myself this week! Because I’m totally overwhelmed with all the options and next steps that I need to take to get feeling better! It’s so hard to see outside your current situation… and I’m feeling that big time right now. I don’t especially like the idea of READ MORE

Here I am!
Y’all! I’m here! It’s been quite a journey of self-discovery these past 2+ years. If you know me, you know I have always been searching for the answers to why our culture is so sick. Why are we always seeking health and only getting sicker? The U.S. spends more per capita on “healthcare” than any other country in the world. So why are so many folks just soooo far from healthy. In true Katy fashion, I wanted to know HOW CAN I HELP? I learned about how many women were giving birth without proper education, . That they were without READ MORE
Friday Food Post! Coconut -Pt1
Let me tell you a little about young coconut. It is an amazing eat. You might have seen these special fruits (or seeds or nuts, whichever you prefer to call it, because they’re all correct) at the grocery store, but been intimidated by the fibrous fortress that protects the treasure inside. First, it really isn’t all that hard to open as long as you have a decent chef’s knife or cleaver. You can find a quick instructional video here. One of the most satisfying things to do with a young coconut is open it up, drink the juice and then scoop READ MORE
Friday Food Post-Garlicky Kale Salad
In the midsummer of 2011 I had a life changing experience. Seriously! Life changing. Huge… I was introduced to a big bowl of Garlicky Kale salad. I know, I know. Anything involving kale isn’t generally what most people would describe as life changing. In fact, the general response I get from mentioning any recipe involving kale is “bleh.” I want you to hear me out though. When this salad is busted out at a gathering, you can find a group of my friends flocking around it–similarly to those seagulls in the movie Finding Nemo, “Mine! Mine!” (You know what I’m READ MORE

Balsamic, Quinoa, and Chard Salad
Quinoa is a miracle grain. I love this little seed! It is high in protein and folate (1), so very beneficial to pregnancy and fetal development. Did you know that 2013 will be officially be “”The International Year of the Quinoa?” (2) Because of it’s nutritive value and superb biodiversity it is considered a Super Grain! I have WAY too much Rainbow Chard in my garden this year and so have been trying to find ways to use it, I LOVE this salad and make it very regularly. Enjoy! Ingredients: 1 bunch swiss chard (10-12 good sized stalks) 1 small sweet READ MORE
