One Pot Rosemary Chicken & Veggies

Image
I  It takes less than 30 minutes to make this meal (including all the prep time) and it does so in one single skillet. Since you won’t have to clean up multiple pots and pans, you can spend that extra time catching up with your family instead of slaving away over the dishes in the kitchen. And, since the chicken is roasted over a bed of potatoes and vegetables, it’s a complete meal. You’ll get starches from the sweet potatoes, vitamins and minerals from the broccoli, and protein from the chicken. Sounds just about perfect to me! I love one pot meals. I can make it for meal prep for my husband. And this I can add more sweet potatoes and broccoli to make it perfect for the amount of macros he needs. I hope you enjoy this like I did! Ingredients 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large sweet potato, diced 1 sprig fresh rosemary, chopped 1 clove garlic, smashed 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 4 (skin-on, bone-in) chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each, skin is removed bef

Sanseti Timeless Skincare Review

Image
Hello Ya’ll! Yes another great skincare review! I am so fortunate to be able to do some great skincare testing. I test a lot of K-beauty from Korea, and healthy skincare on Instagram! This one is a little different. It has marine botanicals that I love in a skincare. I am always looking to out do the La Mer. Which has a powerful marine broth they claim. But with all the chemicals they have in it there is no way it can be healthy for your skin and hormones. And we want science and natural ingredients to help with our skincare needs. Well  I have found it, better than La Mer! With  out the ugly price! Now I used the kit without the cleanser. They sent me the masque instead. I used it yesterday and loved it. Because I have to use a c serum I did incorporate it in my regimen, Worked beautifully. And I used these steps that I will list in order that I used in the morning. If you don’t do treatments ( I do AHA,Retin-A and sleeping masks) this regimen is so hydrating and would be beaut

CBD IN YOUR MAKEUP?

Image
 While lots of buzzy beauty ingredients are more hype than effective,  studies have shown  that CBD can be used to address skin issues like acne and dry skin.  I t can also be used to help alleviate symptoms caused by conditions like psoriasis and eczema and can be beneficial to almost all skin types. The moisturizing and anti-inflammation properties have made it a desirable additive to  moisturizers and oils , but it’s also quickly becoming a go-to ingredient for makeup brands too. Milk Makeup launched Kush High Volume Mascara, a conditioning hemp-derived formula that promises 15x volume and added thickness. In Milk’s case, cannabis takes the place of beeswax, a common binding component for mascara, and allows for smooth application minus the animal byproduct. They’ve since expanded the good vibes to a lip glaze, lip balm and brow gel, all of which tout cannabis’s moisturizing and calming capabilities. Kiehl’s also has a cannabis-infused product in their lineup, offering a  Cannabis

Haring B Detox Mouthwash (I love it)

Image
One of the most intriguing and cleansing mouthwash I have ever used. Did you know that your mouth contains over 300 different strains of bacteria? Streptococcus Mutans (s.mutans). S.mutans is the main culprit for cavities, plaque, tooth decay and plain old nasty bad breath and even those of us with the best brushing and flossing routines aren’t protected! Brushing your teeth only reaches about 25% of your mouth, meaning the bacteria can hide out and cause plaque build up in those hard to reach places. A poor diet can also contribute to a build-up of bacteria, as they love to not only feed on sugar but they also use it to help stick to the tooth enamel - which is how plaque is formed. The metabolism of sucrose (sugar) by the bacteria creates lactic acid, which leads to an acidic environment in the mouth, which in turn causes tooth decay. I used it in the morning and evening. The flavor is differentt. The more you use it the more it is effective on killing germs. When you spi

Poached Egg Soup (Changua con Huevo)

Image
Serves:  4 Ingredients 4 cups broth (vegetable or chicken) 2 cups RAW whole milk or use a good coconut milk 4 eggs 3 green onions, sliced 1 sprig cilantro, chopped Salt Pepper 4 slices bread (sprouted or fermented sourdough) Directions Add the stock and milk to a large pot over medium heat and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat until almost simmering to maintain a temperature of approximately 180°F. Meanwhile, divide the green onion and cilantro between 4 serving bowls. To poach: When a few bubbles break through the surface of the hot liquid, you are ready to poach the eggs. Gently slide the eggs into the broth and cook for 3 to 4 minutes (never let the water reach a full simmer or the eggs will shred). 3 minutes will give you a thickened, but runny yolk. If you prefer a firmer yolk, lift the egg up with a slotted spoon and gently jiggle it until it appears as firm as you’d like. (Since the cooking liquid is opaque, you won’t be able to see the eg

Budget Keto

Image
Hello! Not only can a more plant-based version of the ketogenic diet help your health and the environment—it's a lot easier on your wallet as well! Beyond all the cool health benefits, trying a more plant-based version of keto is just one way to save money if that alone is your particular goal. I am one who cannot do alot of dairy. I love cheese but the too much reeks havoc on my skin and digestion. I know alot of ya'll are the same. Breakfast – Egg-o-cado All you need is one avocado with the pit removed and 2 eggs. Crack an egg into each half of the avocado, season with sea salt and pepper, and bake at 350 until the egg is cooked to your liking. Lunch – Creamed Kale Heat up some avocado oil in a skillet with some minced garlic and shallots until soft. Add in a can of coconut milk and heat until it starts to thicken. Toss in 5 cups of kale and some ground ginger and cook until the kale wilts for a quick and delicious lunch. Dinner – Pesto Zoodle Bowls
