When I received two pairs of Xero brand hiking boots as a free review sample, I was both terrified and excited. I was terrified because they're not supposed to be minimalist snow boots...but I live in Michigan...and it was February. But I was also really excited because for the last year, I've been reading about minimalist shoes. I knew that although my blog is Kitchen Stewardship, doing a shoe review still fits because minimalist shoes are designed to be as natural as possible. And that's … [Read more...]
Weekly Food Prep Tips: 5 Easy Healthy Meal Foods I Prep Every Week
Okay, let’s talk about food prep for healthy meals. When my fellow Pinterest junkies and I think of weekly meal prepping, we think of cute, glass rectangular containers with snap-on lids and neat rows of fitness-friendly clean eating food, like rice, diced sweet potatoes, perfectly sliced chicken breast, and steamed vegetables. While this is a super fun way to eat, and I will never hate those of us organized enough to pull off cute meal prepping, for most of us, this isn’t … [Read more...]

What Is a Virus? Is There Anything You Can do To Prevent Cytokine Storms?
With information coming at us from all channels and changing practically daily, it's been hard to separate fact from conjecture when it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic. When I got a chance to interview a molecular biologist who studied cytokine storms and has been keeping up on research on the virus, I couldn't pass it up. My mind has been filled with so many questions the last 12 months starting with the very basic: What the heck IS a virus, and why are some much more dangerous than … [Read more...]
Why Do Kids Have Tantrums? Top 5 Reasons for Toddler Tantrums
It happened again. It always does. My toddler (kid #4) has started to respond to the word "no" with a full-on head back, mouth open, scream-cry mixture. As parents we hear a phrase that tends to sum up what we experience when our kids are little: The Terrible Twos OR The Terrible Threes. Many moms have a strong opinion on which is more accurate. It just depends on your child. But personally, I feel it hits right around two-and-a-half. Your sweet, happy-go-lucky infant turns into … [Read more...]
What Probiotics Should I Take? Here are the BEST Probiotics We’ve Tried!
When we were kids, everybody knew what a "germ" was. It was something tiny we couldn't see that would make us sick. Germs are why we washed our hands and why our mothers made horrible faces when we did normal kid things like picking our nose, pressing our lips into a glass window, or bringing trash and bird feathers to her, asking, "What's this?" As adults, the fact that the world of "germs" actually has good guys and bad guys feels revolutionary. It's flipping our entire childhoods on … [Read more...]
Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Lasagna Recipe
Are you gluten-free and dairy-free? Are you gluten-free and dairy-free and miss comfort food? If you are, you're gonna love this recipe. It's the secret to all of your dairy-free gluten-free comfort food dreams. Lasagna is one of my favorite comfort foods (call it my Italian-American heritage or just a love for all things cheese and pasta), but for a while, I was dairy-free and gluten-free. Lasagna and other cheesy pasta favorites were no longer on the … [Read more...]
Healthy Air Fryer Chicken Recipe: Chicken Nuggets Kids LOVE!
As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and feeding expert, I work with many parents of picky eaters. But interestingly enough, almost every child that is deemed a "problem feeder" likes chicken nuggets. Coincidence? Not really. But that's a more complicated issue for another day. RELATED: Is your child a picky eater or a problem feeder? I talked to a mom once whose son wouldn't eat much, but he would eat chicken nuggets. Her silver lining...at least he likes any chicken nugget and not … [Read more...]
Sweat it Out! Health Benefits of Sweating (Plus Bonus Benefits of Sauna Use!)
It's ironic to write about the health benefits of sweating right now since it's February and I live in Michigan. In fact, as I type, we're in the midst of a 2-week cold snap with temps in the single digits before wind chill is even taken into account! We had to move our apples and squash out of what was my "garage fridge" cold storage and into the basement because the garage became a freezer! It's so cold that your sweat would freeze on your forehead, and on Sunday one usher at … [Read more...]
Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake Recipe (No Weird Ingredients!)
Question: Do you like chocolate cake? What about healthy chocolate cake? I know some of us are all about making real food desserts that taste indulgent. And some of us would rather we not mess with their classic chocolate cake. But what if you need someone to mess with your dessert? When my boys were little, they had a dairy-allergy and were gluten-sensitive. This meant that all of our desserts needed special attention. You can't make a normal birthday cake without gluten or … [Read more...]
