nutrition taking root in every aspect of our lives
I prepared in every way possible . . . For the birth of my son Ezra. I took classes, read books, practiced prenatal yoga and worked on my breathing. I wanted to be ready for what I thought was going to be the most painful part of having a baby. Little did I know that one of the most painful … [Read more...]
I’m super excited to be joining with some blogger friends to write our monthly veg-cation through a blog circle. What’s a ‘veg-ucation’, you ask?? This month our featured vegetable is cauliflower. Cauliflower is packed with immune-boosting nutrients and cancer-fighting compounds. It's … [Read more...]
Having trouble drinking your 8-glasses of water a day? Well, this awesome glass water bottle can help you stay hydrated all summer long. I love this water bottle because unlike plastic or metal, the glass doesn't cause an icky aftertaste. Nope. Just pure, clean water. Because it's hot and I want … [Read more...]
I went back and forth on starting a garden this year. I first got the idea because my grandma, who is a Master Gardener, sent me a box full of books about gardening and a few AWESOME above ground planters (like these here). Then my mother-in-law sent me some organic vegetable seeds, a window … [Read more...]

It's called Sunshine Potato Salad because the purple, red and white potato mixture is a sunshine potato variety. It makes for a beautiful presentation as … [Read more...]
I'm starting something new here on The Sprouting Seed called Soul Food Fridays. Each Friday I'll share something I've been learning lately, something that has been feeding my soul. I had a crazy dream that I wanted to share. I was in a major metropolis--skyscrapers everywhere, streets bustling … [Read more...]
For the past year, the ol' noggin has felt a little foggy (ahem-cough-breastfeeding all night is exhausting). I've needed a little pick-me-up now and again, but have wanted something more refreshing than a plain cup of joe. I just happened to stumble upon this recipe while reading the back of my … [Read more...]
This year I've had major spring fever. By the end of March, I couldn't wait to get outside and dig around in the dirt. It was still a little too cold to start my garden, so I decided to start my seeds indoors. An easy way to start seeds indoors is to use egg cartons! I first did this when I lived … [Read more...]
