Taking a new direction

So It's been 2 years since I have posted. My life has been so incredibly FULL that I just have NOT made time to write. Originally, I started this blog just to write about my life and adventures as a CRUNCHY mom and now my life has evolved to me deciding to open my own practice and become a Health, Wellness and Nutrition Coach. I am currently working on becoming certified even though I am working with people now. Over the years my life has evolved from being the Morbidly Obese one to the "Go To Person" for health and wellness. It's been a pretty challenging ride which I will discuss in later posts. I have SO MANY people asking me for my favorite recipes for adults AND Children and how to eat and live clean(er). I'm constantly sharing my favorites as well as talking about the journey to how I got to this point in my life. When I look back to my childhood I NEVER would have dreamed I would be where I am today. This is a HUGE stepping stone to my future. A leap into the unknown which is pretty exciting! 

I love to share my "Crunchiness" and why I do everything naturally, the reason why I chose to have a Home Birth, the fact that I not been sick except for the occasional head cold in almost 20 years, the fact that Sebastian has only had one head cold in the 3 years he has been on this Earth, the fact that we don't even keep Tylenol in the house, how I lowered my toxic body burden, the fact that I LOVE TO EAT and I know how to LIVE without weight gain, the fact that I lost 130 pounds 17 years ago and have COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED MY LIFE!!!!

I have renamed my blog from its original and will probably change it again. Who knows? That's how I Roll.

I am living a constant adventure with real twists and turns, come ENJOY THE RIDE!!!

I'm going to share one of my favorite recipes, I make it all winter long. Thankfully, Spring is just around the corner and down here in Georgia it Spring kinda has already Sprung and all of the people that I have shared this recipe with so far have fallen in LOVE with this soup.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL INGREDIENTS I USE ARE ORGANIC AND DAIRY FREE. I refuse to purchase anything that is not Organic and we don't have any dairy in our house. 

Cauliflower Soup
 
You have to try this!!!!!! SEBASTIAN TESTED AND APPROVED. I just don't put any cheese in it for him since I try to keep the processed foods to a minimum.
 
I head ORGANIC cauliflower
1/2 red onion)
Tons of garlic (I LOVE GARLIC) I use 4 HUGE cloves.
2 Cups Organic Veggie Broth 
Organic
     Dried Thyme
     Chives
     Cayenne pepper
     Black Pepper
     Celtic Sea Salt (pink)
Cheddar Cheese (Daiya - Dairy Free - If Desired)
Lars French Fried Onions (Do not use French's brand - SO MANY CHEMICALS)
 
Cut up the cauliflower and put it in a pot on the stove with water about 1/2 way and steam for about 20 minutes. Saute the onions and garlic in ORGANIC EVOO until your kitchen smells so good you just can't stand it anymore. Drain the cauliflower and then put it in the same pan as the onions/garlic. Pour in some veggie broth a little at a time and see how much you want. You have the control to make this soup as thick or as thin as you like. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 5 minutes. sprinkle spices to taste. The Thyme is the star of the show!
 
Once it is ready put everything into the vitamix and blend for about 30 seconds. VIOLA!!! Out comes the most unbelievable, delicious, creamy soup.
 
It tastes like cream of potato soup! Soooo, Put in your favorite soup bowl, topped with shredded DAIRY FREE cheese, sprinkle some chives and Lars French Fried Onions.

HEAVEN IN A BOWL!!!!
