Recipe: Butternut Squash Cornbread Muffins

2/25/2018

Squash cornbread muffins
I had considered sharing a homesteading update with you today but didn't really have much to report on other than the massive flooding and impatient waiting for spring, so I figured I'd share a recipe instead. :-)

This tasty and easy recipe came with our CSA share, so I apologize that I don't know the original source, but I hope you enjoy it!  These muffins make a tasty and nutritious breakfast, and they are delicious with butter and jam, but savory enough to accompany soups and stews as well.

These yummy muffins are packed with simple, whole-food ingredients that provide vitamins, fiber, and protein in a cute little muffin-shaped package!

They are a great way to get picky kids to eat squash, and if you are inundated with butternut squash like we were this year, it's always good to find more ways to use it. (This recipe actually did double-duty for us, as we purchased 15 lbs of stone-ground heirloom cornmeal through our CSA last year, and we still have over half of it stashed in the freezer...)

5 Amazing Facts About Your Body

Amazing facts about your body
So many of us (even in the natural health world) have a negative view of our bodies.

We aren't happy with their shape, size, or weight. Or even if we are, we complain about aches and pains, treating injuries as if they were a betrayal by our bodies, rather than a response to mistreatment. Or we bemoan the signs of aging we see, like wrinkles, or thinning hair, or loss of muscle tone.

It is as if we view our bodies as an enemy - or at best, a reluctant ally that we just have to put up with throughout our lives.

But your body (yes, even YOUR body) is amazing!

If we were to actually take the time to learn how our amazing bodies work, we might understand them better, and be more forgiving. We might also take a lot better care of them, meaning they might stay healthier - and help us stick around on this planet for a little while longer. 

Below are 5 amazing facts about your body. When you read this, take the time to really think about how awesome each of these facts is, and give your body some love and appreciation for all of the wonderful things it can do!

Is Fake Meat More Sustainable?

2/11/2018

Fake meat
Plant-based diets have become all the rage in the past decade or so - with more and more people moving towards vegan or vegetarian eating plans.

However, while eating less meat is certainly an admirable goal - both for health and environmental reasons, it is also important that we take a good look at what is replacing meat in our diets.

If you are going to stop eating meat completely, what are you eating in its place?

I ask this because I have known vegans who rave all day about how wonderful it is to be vegan, and how everyone else should be as well, and how eating vegan has made them so much healthier, etc., yet when you take a look at what they eat, it consists in large part of highly processed vegetable oils and grains (along with artificial colorings, thickeners, preservatives, flavorings, etc.) - none of which are AT ALL healthy. (In fact, cleanly sourced meats are, in my opinion, MUCH better for you than these "Franken-foods.")

In particular, one type of processed foods that has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years due to the "plant-based" eating movement is fake meats or meat substitutes. Fake meats are touted as being healthier, more sustainable, and more ethical than real meat - but are they really?

Today we take a closer look at the world of fake meats to find out...

How your mind can heal your body
I've got something a bit different for you this month for your "February Freebie..."  But it's really cool and I can't wait to share it with you!

I wrote about this last year, but this year I'm even more excited because I've had a chance to learn more about this amazing technique and how it can help improve your health dramatically - and it's so simple and easy to do! I have actually been using it myself for a few years, but I have practiced it a lot more over the past few months, and done a lot more research on it as well.

Most recently, I used it to help kick a cold before I even got sick, and am now working on my chronic heartburn... I will have to let you know how it goes, but there is an entire event surrounding this amazing health technique starting this week, and I wanted to make sure you don't miss it!

The pre-event starts Monday, and you can register to watch the entire thing for FREE through this link:
http://holisticliving.clkpfct.com/go/twsVid1

Below is a link to the first video, which I thought you would find very interesting. It is about how much influence your mind actually has over your body and your physical health. Check it out below...

    About the Author

    Rose Sarko grew up on a farm in the Ozark mountains learning about healthy living, sustainable organic gardening, and the important connections between the natural world and humanity. Over the past 10+ years, Rose has devoted more and more of her life to learning about health as a holistic system, rather than a static approach to specific illnesses. Rose is of the belief that all parts of the body and mind, just like all parts of the natural world and human society, are connected in an integral way, and learning to work with the entire system as a whole is the best way to true health. She is a Certified Life Coach, and currently lives in Ohio with her husband, 2 barn cats, and a small flock of chickens on their 5-acre homestead.
