I was thrilled when these bamboo cutting boards arrived from zulily. Although they are no longer available on zulily (they have a great discount on items for a few short days before they are gone), I did find the very same ones here on amazon.

Bamboo, unlike plastic, has natural bacterial-fighting properties. So I was glad to finally give my plastic cutting boards a toss.

Before using them I wanted to coat them so they will last longer, and to protect them from the possibility of splitting. Continue reading →

Tropical Traditions Gold Label Coconut Oil - WIN one!

Posted on December 5, 2012 by Lea Harris, Certified Herbalist & Certified Health Coach

Tropical Traditions is literally the only place I purchase my coconut oil - and I want you to win a jar of their finest Gold Label Coconut Oil.

I love the fact that this oil is made from fresh coconuts that are cold-pressed, not heated. Tropical Traditions is the only company using traditional, hand-made methods of obtaining the coconut oil - unlike other companies that use heat and chemicals.

A scrumptious treat, this makes for a great breakfast - especially if topped with home-made whipped cream.

This is really easy to whip up on short notice. Although this recipe makes a dozen crisps, I made this in my 6-cup muffin pan right inside my toaster oven. So if you’re trying to beat the heat, you can. Continue reading →

Boy am I glad I happened across this gem! I only wish I had Nourished Baby eight years ago when pregnant with my first daughter - or four years ago when I was pregnant with my son.
