3 Functional Mocktails To Make This Week
Are you looking for a way to step up your drink game this summer without the booze? Drinks can be fun without alcohol and I’m on a mission to make lots of functional mocktails this summer. Gone are the days when drinking mocktails were boring. As the nonalcoholic landscape continues to evolve, people are moving toward “functional” mocktails, or nonalcoholic drinks that are designed to offer health benefits beyond mere refreshment. These drinks often contain adaptogens. Often used in Eastern medicine, adaptogens are plants and mushrooms that help your body respond to stress, anxiety, fatigue and overall well-being. Fun drinks can be such a nice addition to any cookout, bbq,…

Did you know that pineapple is nature’s cough medicine?
All opinions are from my own experience. This is not medical advice. Please consult with your doctor for more information. One winter, a few years ago, my children came down with winter colds. They had hacking coughs that lingered and wouldn’t resolve. I remember feeling like I had tried everything and felt very flustered that nothing had worked. I was up reading one night during this and came across the health benefits of fruits. Pineapple was on the list and it was like a light bulb when off when I read the about it helping helpful with coughs. Pineapples contain bromelain which is in an anti-inflammatory enzyme. This not only…

Immune Boosting Pot Roast
My friend Stephinee was kind enough to gift me an Instant Pot after I gave birth to Mercy. Y’all, it has been a big blessing in our lives and something that we use multiple times a week. An Instant Pot is a pressure cooker that has multiple functions (pressure cook, sauté, and slow cook like a crockpot) that cooks under high pressure and only takes 20-70 minutes for most meals. Yes please! P.S. You can even cook desserts in it. OMG. I actually recently just sold my crock pot because I always forget to turn it on at the beginning of the day and then by the time I remember, there’s not enough time…

Magical Organic Cold Brew Coffee
I like to think of my morning coffee as my magic potion and I add a lot of supplements to it to benefit my body. I often get asked about them so it only seemed fitting to give y’all a solid place to reference if you want to try my morning cocktail – minus the booze. I’m gonna be real with you though… nothing can beat an organic caramel latte with oat milk from Bean Bar in Florence though. On the mornings I don’t go to Bean Bar, I make a cold brew coffee at home. Why cold brew you ask? The benefits of drinking cold brew are extensive. It’s…
