I love to garden even though I only have a small windowsill garden. That said, any space for gardening can utilize organic fertilizers! I only give my plants the best of the best, and these are all very easy to make at home. Here are three homemade organic fertilizers you can use on your plants ASAP.
Do you like a little dessert now and then, or maybe more often than not? Most of us have an affection for sweet flavors but unfortunately many desserts, whether served in restaurants or of the prepackaged variety, are filled with ingredients that we’d be better off without. It’s a good thing there are desserts like this raw vegan cashew cheesecake. Not only is it sweet, creamy, and a little chocolate-y, it’s also nutrient rich.
Looking to add something healthy and a little sweet to your fall table? How about a spiced fruit salad? And even if you’re thinking not another fruit salad, keep reading, because this is not your average fruit salad. Inspired by the classic fruit chaat common in India and Pakistan, this fruit salad has spicy, tangy South Asian flair. Whether you add it to your breakfast, brunch, dinner, or holiday table, it’s sure to wow.
If the changing seasons have you wondering what to eat, try this sesame milk smoothie with orange essential oil. For those of us who eat seasonally, September and October are transitional months. Depending on where we are in the northern hemisphere, the heat could still be holding on, or there might be a noticeable crispness in the air. Straddling seasons can leave us a little stumped in terms of what to eat.
It can be hard to look away from puppy-dog eyes when you’re enjoying a piece of meat, a cube of cheese, or (in the case of me and my dog, Mohi) a slice of cucumber. Providing your pet with treats is fun, rewarding, and useful as a way of positive reinforcement training. Unfortunately, much like their human counterparts, many dogs, cats, and even smaller critters don’t receive enough exercise and thus can be victims to weight gain, lethargy, and the host of symptoms that overeating can bring.
Protein powder has been controversial in the past few years, not necessarily because of what it does—provide a solid dose of protein for post-workout nutrition or those who struggle to get in adequate amounts for various reasons—but because of how it’s made and, more specifically, what it’s made from.
You might not believe it, but the foods you eat affect more than just your body weight: They affect your appearance. Certain foods are great for your skin, while others are great for your hair. Have you been suffering from dry, brittle hair? What about oily, frizzy hair? Whatever the case, buying another toxin filled shampoo might not be your best solution. You might just need to change your diet. I say this because certain foods are loaded with nutrients that hair needs to stay happy and healthy.
I’ve been on a dandelion tea KICK lately. I’m not a coffee drinker, but I do like the taste of it, believe it or not. So when I’m hankerin’ for a cup of joe, I’ll reach instead for my roasted dandelion root tea bags. The result is a hot, almost chocolate-y brew that is so satisfying first thing in the morning.
I have to admit: I didn’t think I missed banana pudding until I made this recipe.
I used to eat banana pudding periodically as a child – it wasn’t my favorite, but it made a regular appearance at buffets and church potlucks, so I was no snob to it, either. It was often simply vanilla pudding served with slices of bananas and those little vanilla wafers; occasionally it was “real” banana-flavored pudding. I’m pretty sure all of it was made with a little packet of gelatin, though. And that’s why (before this recipe) I hadn’t eaten it in years.
Canna-Banana Bread combines the anti-inflammatory power of cannabis with the nutritional benefits of natural superfoods. The result is a hunk of deliciousness that stealthily delivers nutrition along with a dose of marijuana.
