Yesterday, I noticed that my sage plant was ready to burst into bloom. It’s a bit too early in the season, and I want to encourage it to spend energy on growing instead of flowering.
Instead of wasting the blooms in the compost pile, they went into a jar of pure, organic cold-pressed olive oil. This olive oil will infuse in a dark spot until the dark days of winter are upon us.
Some of the bloggers that are part of Village Green Network have decided to get back to our roots and remember just why we started this whole blogging thing.
Since we have embarked on the GAPS Diet Revisited, it’s high time I gathered all of our original GAPS posts together for easy reading.
I have a new page in the Menu called ‘A GAPS Journal (Our Journey)’. Click here to learn how amazing I was at following this healing protocol my first time around. Yeah, it was bad.
Come laugh, cry, and commiserate with me. You can step into my world and celebrate our successes, failures, and learn just how hard it was to overcome my food addictions. You will understand just how far we have come in the last 2 years.
Most of all, I hope it will show you that YOU can do this too.
All my best,
Jennifer
Spring is a time of cleansing and nourishing. We emerge from our winter cocoon ready to shake off the sluggishness, a few fluffy pounds, and greet the sun with enthusiasm.
This spring cleansing tonic is a great way to clear a lingering winter cough, purify the blood, and increase energy levels. It’s so nourishing that it also increases the quality and quantity of a mother’s milk.
Stinging nettle is one of the most nutritious and cleansing herbs we use in the Western world. It is the perfect way to nourish and cleanse your body from heavy winter foods and inactivity.
Nettle is very high in calcium (2,900 mg per 100 dry grams), magnesium (860 mg per 100 dry grams), and zinc (0.47 mg per 100 dry grams).
