If you notice breast pain, flu-like symptoms, and blocked milk ducts, it could be mastitis. This is what mastitis is and the home remedies I used successfully to treat my breast infection. Years ago, after an 18-hour car ride with five kids (yes, I may be crazy), I developed a severe case of mastitis. The baby was quite happy in the car and when the kids are happy, I drive.

One of the most difficult adjustments in adapting to our grain-free lifestyle was finding replacements for classic Italian foods. Ingredients like pasta, mozzarella cheese and gnocchi are more difficult if you are gluten-free and dairy-free. Although we’ve since incorporated some dairy and grains back into our meals, I’ve found that I still love the healthy alternative recipes I’ve created over the years. This easy pesto recipe with fresh basil is one of them. Fresh pesto sauce with garlic cloves and fresh basil has nothing on store-bought versions!

We want to create lifelong health habits for our children and prevent things like heart disease, obesity, unhealthy cholesterol and blood sugar problems.
