What do you ask yourself when you put food on your table? Is it real food? Is it whole? Is it the way God created it?  Is the food I feed to my children will help them grow and develop? Or is it just taste good? 

When most people think about food they romanticize it. We think about it in terms of  Grandma and Thanksgiving and First Dates, Family Gatherings going out for Pizza and Ice-cream! Picnics and campfire means s’mores and hot dogs; Christmas -cookies; Easter – chocolate eggs & candy; Halloween – more candy!  All that is fun and lovely, but it lets us forget that “we are what we eat” – and that is not a metaphor!  

When I think about the most basic way we sustain ourselves, it’s through whole, organic, toxin-free nutritious foods. Those foods include all the things that were created for us to eat – vegetables, fruits, berries, herbs, nuts, seeds, flowers, fish & eggs…  Nature provided us with all the nourishing foods to eat in order to keep us healthy. Medicinal and Culinary Herbs are plants, and all plants have vitamins and minerals. They were meant to be consumed as food, not only to be used for their medicinal benefits.

There are so many ways you can weave the medicinal and culinary herbs, into your everyday cooking! Such as drinking them in teas, adding them to your meals as spices, to your smoothies and sweet treats, bake with it! The point is this – nutrition comes from food and not lab made supplements, so for me and my family, we start there and we just keep on going that direction.
Our body has countless safety mechanisms, so when we put it through the wear and tear and one or more systems fail, the others are there to pick it up and keep working. But it’s crazy for us to think that if we keep do what we do and expect the outcome to be different somehow…

Our body is a Healing machine, but we need to give it a chance to fix itself! Herbs are so Intelligent and versatile, they working with the body’s own healing systems restoring, repairing, rejuvenating and keeping it in a good condition.
