Biting into a warm, flavorful cheeseburger fresh off the grill is an iconic part of summer. However, if you’ve ditched gluten (or grains), cheeseburgers may be off the menu. The kids and I love this real bacon cheeseburger soup. It’s got all the flavors you love about a cheeseburger, but in a filling soup version! This comfort food has quickly become a family favorite. It’s easy to make, cheesy, delicious, and something our whole family can eat (even my picky kids!). And because it’s a one-pot meal, cleanup is easy. All of the spices are in the soup, so I…
Cartilage Crunches are performed by lying on the floor, either on a mat or not, with your arms crossed in front of your chest. Many people do crunches with their hands behind their heads, but this can cause lower back problems due to the pull on the head and neck. A slightly different position is to place your fingertips behind your ears instead of crossing them over your chest. It is important not to pull on your neck or ears to help you lift yourself off the floor. Instead, pull your belly back toward your spine and inhale through your…
Understanding Ketosis Ketosis is a natural metabolic state in which the body, deprived of carbohydrates, uses fat as its primary energy source.

Back to school is a fun time with new routines, fresh new school supplies, learning new subjects, and trying new activities. It’s hard to believe when we’re in the middle of summer that the start of a new year is just around the corner. Carefree days and late nights are part of the appeal of summer. But soon it will be over and a new school year will begin. It can be really hard to go from freedom and flexibility to a schedule overnight. You don’t want to say, “Go to bed early tonight, school starts tomorrow!” I’ve always homeschooled…

Over the years, I’ve perfected a few natural deodorant recipes for long-lasting protection. However, I was intrigued by roll-on antiperspirant deodorants and wanted to try my hand at a healthier version. You can never have too many homemade deodorant options, right? Not only is this aluminum and alcohol free, but it also offers natural odor protection. It can even work for sensitive skin types and you can customize the scent! Roll-on deodorant stick I was the girl who wore clinical strength deodorant in high school. I was lured in by promises of a fresh scent and 12 hours of protection.…
Ranch dressing has always been one of my favorite condiments (after ketchup, of course). When I saw what was actually in store-bought salad dressings, I knew it was time to stop. Luckily, I came up with an even healthier version of ranch salad dressing and now this ranch dressing mix. The kids and I love it in salads, but it also makes a great dry ranch seasoning for meats and veggies. And it’s naturally gluten free. Why a Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix? I probably don’t have to tell you that Hidden Valley Ranch is hiding a lot of unhealthy ingredients…
