Basil Tea
Drinking basil tea may help provide relief for common colds, congestion, headaches, & even fevers. It also kills intestinal parasites that can cause an upset stomach and other abdominal conditions. But what most amazes me about basil is that it actually stimulates the immune system by increasing the body’s own production of antibodies that help fight off sickness & disease. Pretty incredible.
Enjoy just as you would any other tea by steeping fresh organic leaves in hot water or brewing a sun tea. If you prefer a sweeter taste, skip the white sugar and try adding organic agave nectar.
Note: Not to be consumed during pregnancy, as basil has been used as a menstruation promoter and labor inducer.
staying true to yourself
It’s all too easy to get distracted from our true selves, get so wrapped up in our current life circumstances that we lose sight of what we’re really about–who we are and what we believe in and stand for.
That’s why it’s important we listen to our heart’s most inner knowing and take heed from what we learn by channeling that truth back here to the waking world of time, flesh & bone. By remaining true to ourselves, not compromising who we are for others, and brazenly living our lives openly and honestly, I believe we naturally attract and evolve into the experiences we’re meant to have–that may further enrich our lives and bring us closer to manifesting our wildest dreams.
Happy Friday!
Hope your weekend is filled with fun!
Grilled Potatoes with Fresh Rosemary
Pair with an array of your other favorite grilled veggies, a portobello burger, or with fresh tomato slices, steamed greens and a grain, such as millet or quinoa.
Grilled Potatoes
5-6 organic red or yukon gold potatoes, diced (do not remove skins)
organic olive oil
1-2 cloves organic garlic, minced
fresh organic rosemary
sea salt (to taste)
Directions: Place potatoes in pan. Drizzle with plenty of olive oil, add the minced garlic and several sprigs of fresh rosemary. Cook over low flames for 30-35 minutes until tender or desired crispiness. Be sure to stir the potatoes and rotate the pan every 5-7 minutes to ensure even cooking.
greens in the garden
I try to incorporate greens into my diet every single day.
They’re high in antioxidants, nutrient-dense, low in fat, high in fiber, a good source of calcium, and one of our most powerful allies for preventing disease.
Here are a few photos of what’s growing in my organic garden right now.
