Ok, so maybe not Gin... But I am down with the Juice right now! I do love gin, but I'm currently on a healing mission! So, when I saw this amazing masticating juicer on sale, I couldn't resist! Isn't she beautiful? Ok, so it was important that I got a Masticating Juicer, according to my girlfriend Kate, owner and magical awesomness behind Raw Replenish , a cold pressed juice company in Pennsylvania! (If you are interested in reading more about masticating vs centrifugal juicers, go HERE ). Basically, I love my friend Kate, and she knows Raw Juice, I mean, it's her business! SO I bought this! AS SOON as I opened it, I unpacked it and made celery Juice! ACTUAL photo of me, sans makeup at about 6:30 am Christmas Morning with my fresh pressed celery juice! Why might you ask? Well, I recently got this book: In this book, it talks about SO many issues hormonal and otherwise, and how to heal them! Well, one of the things is celery! I......
K.I.S.S. = Keep it simple stupid Sure, I get it. Stupid isn't a nice word. But, it gets the point across right? I use this acronym a lot. There are SO many things in life that I think we as humans really try to over-complicate. We over analyze. We over research. We think the crap out of everything. It makes things more difficult I think. Back when things were simple, and there wasn't as many choices .... life just seemed easier am I right? Well, today I bring you the issue of "What to make for lunch after church on Sunday" - Yes, it's an issue. If I don't have things ready, my kids can't fend for themselves. I must have staples like bread, and peanut butter. These kids expect so much from me! (joking). This works well, if we remembered to make sandwich bread! #realmomlife This brings us to this past Sunday....after church. NOTHING to eat. No bread was made. The kids had NO idea what to make themselves! What is a tired, and busy mom to do? I mean......
Have you heard about this amazing magic thing? The Instant Pot?!? This thing is Changing my life! I only got it like 3 days ago, and I've seriously cooked SO MUCH in it already! Today's magical concoction was a super hit! You know how we've all heard how much better for you steel cut oats are.... yadda yadda... But those things take SOOO long to cook! Even with the quick cooking ones I have it takes over 10 minutes of "simmering"! Also, say goodbye to those amazing little things called " Overnight Oats " if you switch from old fashioned rolled oats to steel cut! Those things are amazing you all, seriously everyone picks their own and they are DONE overnight! Since we chose to forgo buying a microwave in our new house, those too have gone out the window because of the whole heating up part, but that isn't the point..... back to the pot. This thing makes the magic of "make your own oats" possible again, with the healthy steel cut ......
Ok, so muffins aren't exactly healthy - but making them at home does make them a bunch more healthy!! Plus, my kids LOVE when I make muffins!! From scratch is ALWAYS better then those store bought! Today was a lazy Saturday morning - so I decided to bake some muffins! They really didn't take too long, and were so yummy! I made banana crumble muffins - and they were made with all organic ingredients (<---- that means "healthy" right??) The recipe I originally found on all recipes, but made some changes for our family since we don't do any dairy. Whip these up on a lazy morning for your kids, they will think you are super awesome baker mom!!
