Mmmmm Steak!

Ribeye to be exact, with that tomato jam. Baked potato and salad.

Hummus and Tomato Jam!


So I was in the mood for Hummus lately, and store bought isn't 
always completely healthy. 
So I made my own. Wasn't too difficult when using canned chickpeas. 
Recipe here. Make your own Tahini!

I also needed something to make to use all these tomatoes we have. 
Came across this Tomato Jam recipe I thought I would try. 
It's like chunky ketchup!

New Music Find - Kodaline

Great new artist I discovered. Album is called In a Perfect World by Kodaline.

Snacks and Staples



I always have dried fruit and nuts/seeds to snack on. Dark chocolate and nut butter for a special treat. 
And occasionally some Jerky(just be careful with what kind you get).


A good coconut oil is always something I have on hand. 
A great roasting oil(makes great kale or sweet potato chips) and my mom uses it for popcorn.


Spirulina, Chlorella, Vitamin D3, 7-keto(while I am losing weight), CoQ10, and Maca.


Teas I always have, Green, Yerba Mate, Oolong.
