When I first heard about Master Tonic I basically thought it sounded insane—insanely HOT! Why in the world would anyone want to drink this stuff? Sam Biser created this formula as a fresh herb alternative to Dr. Christopher’s plague formula. According to Sam Biser, this formula is a modern day plague tonic and when added […]
Garlic is an amazing plant. I use garlic cloves to make garlic oil for when someone in my family gets sick. It is truly amazing how well it works! (See the recipe at the bottom of this post to learn how to make it!) Right now my kids and my husband all have congestion. We […]

I made these fresh frozen mandarin orange pops for one of my daughters when she was suffering from a stomach bug. She wasn’t keeping any food down and I had a huge bowl of mandarin oranges on the counter (her favorite). She was very happy a couple of hours later to have these. She must […]
A healthy alternative to a Rice Krispy Treat! I grew up eating Rice Krispy treats. Ever since I switched to a healthier, less processed menu I have been substituting some of my favorite unhealthy foods for new, healthier alternatives.

I believe in moderation and if you make something from scratch out of quality ingredients, without all of the chemicals then even wheat and sugar is ok. Do you agree?

We change up the add-ins every weekend: blueberries, blackberries, bananas, strawberries, small apple chunks with cinnamon (straight cinnamon, no extra sugar)…the list goes on! Get creative! You can mix the berries or fruit into the batter or add […]
This simple homemade sloppy joe recipe was something I created 6 years ago. I had just started eating REAL food and I was trying to convert my favorite foods to REAL food. I stopped eating the popular canned sloppy joe mix and whipped up this concept to satisfy those cravings. I can’t go back! The […]
Did you know avocados have several health benefits? You don’t just have to consume them to reap the benefits either! I’ve often wondered what I should do with an overripe avocado. I love avocados so much and they are not cheap. Instead of throwing away your overripe avocado, give yourself a facial! Avocados contain […]
