I really like searching the web for recipes vs scouring through many cookbooks! While I do have my favorite hardback cookbooks, I find myself searching the internet most. Today I wanted sweet and sour chicken for lunch. The more I thought about it, the better it sounded. I thought I might have most of the ingredients, including the fresh pineapple I got from Hoovers Family Farm last week. The first recipe that popped up on google was a perfect fit! Completely from scratch with ingredients I keep on hand. The only swap I made was potato and arrowroot starch in place of the cornstarch. I didn't have cilantro, so left that out too. I did add some broccoli to the mix. I am glad I printed this for my favorite recipe notebook!

Make this sweet and sour chicken recipe in under 30 minutes! Stir-fried lean meat tossed in a delicious tangy sauce with crisp vegetables.

I was just talking about this in my class at the library last Tuesday...

I love it when I find articles that interview doctors who confirm what I have learned about the liver. I don't go looking for them. This one came up in my news feed this morning and I want to share.
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver is pretty common in our population. As the name suggests, it's not caused by alcohol but by diet &/or certain meds. Consuming a lot of carbs, especially the simple or refined carbs that turn to sugar quickly, contribute.
One of my favorite ways to help the liver is lemon water using fresh lemons, which is also mentioned in this article.

What are your thoughts on Green Bean Casserole...Be honest.
I have never been a huge fan. Didn't grow up eating it. Probably because most of the recipes use canned green beans. Something you never found at my house growing up. My mom likes her beans tender crisp or "half raw" as my husband says.
I am not exactly sure how I stumbled on this recipe several years ago. Other than I was looking for recipes I could modify to fit our daughter's food intolerances. This green bean casserole is entirely from scratch. No fake food here. Having watched Guy Fieri on the Food Network years ago, I knew his recipe would be yummy.
The first year I made it, it was a big hit. That year I did use shallots and really couldn't tell if they made a difference in the taste, so I have left them out and just add extra onion. I also add a little fresh garlic. I made this recipe using dairy free butter and milk, swapped out 1 cup milk for 1 cup homemade chicken broth, and used gluten free flour and bread crumbs.

When making things from scratch, ingredients can be substituted to meet your needs and taste, which I love! This dish is made and in the freezer for our Christmas Eve dinner!

Tis the season! This is the start of candy season which lasts through Easter. Funny how this also coincides with cold and flu season. Did you know there is a RDA on sugar consumption? According to the World Health Organization, an adult should consume 6 tsp OR LESS of sugar, while for children it is no more that 3 tsp. A can of soda contains 10 tsp! How many people drink more than 1 can of soda a day? 10 tsp of sugar can reduce you immune system function by HALF!
Soda is not the only guilty party. Let's add on candy bars, yogurt, juice beverages, cereal and other breakfast go-to's, snacks, and other refined carbs that turn to sugar quickly.

Want to help your immune system this year? Watch your sugar and refined carb intake. Get plenty of rest. Eat NUTRIENT-DENSE fruits and vegetables. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated!

Hurricane Helene was one heck of a hurricane. Our area was not hit as hard as many that surround us. Towns along the coast were demolished as were towns in the Carolinas, TN and Ga. Row crops and chicken houses gone. About 40 poultry farms in our county were destroyed. As you pray for those affected by this storm, remember our farmers as well. Not all of them will be able to recover. Not all of them had insurance.

We were blessed. The Lord protected us through another storm. And we are grateful. No power, no internet is just a minor disruption. We still have so much to be grateful for. Business is limited without internet, so your orders might take a little longer to ship. Just a little inconvenient.

We will be closed through Monday, 9/30, due to TS Helene. Stay safe!

I'm always on the lookout for new recipes or twists on some old favorites. I came across an article recently about frozen s'mores. You layer a pan with graham crackers, chocolate pudding, marshmallow fluff, and top with graham crackers and then freeze. I don't ever use marshmallow fluff and the jello pudding mix has too many "unknown" ingredients. So I went on the hunt for recipes. And I found them! Homemade pudding is very easy to make. The marshmallow creme (fluff) is new for me. But hey, I used to make marshmallows for Chey, so it can't be that hard, right?
I will edit this to include the recipes I found.

Summer is almost gone, according to the calendar anyway! If you live in Florida (or parts of the southeast) we have another month before temps begin to cool down. August in Florida means hurricanes and back to school. For us, it also means Cross Country Season is almost here!! WOOHOO!! Our schedule will be very hectic from now until December...at the very least! Which means, we better eat well, sleep well, and nourish our immune systems with extra nutrients. Over the next couple of weeks, I will share what we do - snacks, favorite recipes, supplements. We are not perfect at it, but we try. Stress of any kind impacts one's immune system and creates the need for more nutrients.

I would love to hear from you too. Do have any favorite recipes or go to meals for those busy nights? Favorite supplements?
