Clean Swap: Laundry

Clean Swap: Laundry

One of the major things I made a swap for in my home years ago was laundry detergent. 🧺 I didn’t think about conventional detergents until I researched & found out how toxic those products were for my family and the environment. I switched to Ecos, which was great for Steve and me… but once I had kids the hunt for a detergent that could tackle the smells began in earnest. 🥴

I’ve tried many brands and washed hot, added baking soda, vinegar, washed 3 times to get rid of the stank that kids fleece pajamas seem to hold onto. 🤢 Well, I found an answer. I have never had a detergent that could do so much with so little!! No more smells and no more shrinking the clothes… and it just takes a tablespoon of On Guard Detergent. 

When I buy my everyday laundry supplies from dōTERRA I also get a % back on my purchase & FREE shipping! It’s a win win; clean products & perks! I’ll take it.

I am that lady who picks up stuff in the “organic” section, reads the ingredients and put them back in disgust. I know some of these things take a bit of process to make shelf stable but I am unwilling to put ingredients in my 

Chai Spice Hempseed Porridge (Nootropic, Keto, Vegan)

Chai Spice Hempseed Porridge (Nootropic, Keto, Vegan)

I have been intermittent fasting for a couple of years now.  I tend to break from it on Saturdays to shake things up and I have been craving this for weeks now so I thought it a good time to revive it.  Needless to say 

Lamb Meatballs

Lamb Meatballs

These meatballs are a weekly (or at least fortnightly) staple meal in our home and are always a favorite.  They are easy to make, autoimmune friendly, egg-free, gluten-free and grain-free!  I usually make them with hot chips of either the nightshade or sweet potato variety but they can go along with a noodle dish nicely.  I prefer to have them with sliced avocados, sweet potato fries and my cultured hummus or cauliflower hummus.  I don’t tend to serve them with noodles… because I can’t eat nightshades or dairy myself and have not yet created a pasta sauce that our whole family agrees upon of the AIP variety.

Obviously you can use other meats, but lamb is the least inflammatory for me and I love it. I get my Himalayan pink salt from Costco, the Konjac root from Amazon and the Rosemary Garlic, Souvlaki (I usually pick one of the two) and Roasted Garlic Aioli from my friend Kim’s Epicure Shop.  I love these spices and use them daily.  They are high quality, clean and well balanced!

Cassava Almond Anise Biscotti

These are a long time favorite in our little family.  The original recipe is from a few renditions back and was given to me by the owners of a local Italian bistro that has since closed up shop.  I could never eat them myself… but
