You guys probably know by now that I’m pretty picky when it comes to packaged foods I’ll allow in my body on a regular basis. I have found myself easily frustrated when it comes to the “health food” industry ESPECIALLY when it comes to protein shakes, workout supplements, and “health” smoothie mixes. In all honesty,…

Spring/Summer 2014 Garden
Yesterday my husband and I participated in the national March Against Monsanto. Here’s a quick shot of me with the amazing Michele of Michele’s Mashmallow’s! This cause is, as you all know by now, extremely important to me. However, I whole heartedly believe that change doesn’t ONLY come from voicing your displeasure. To really change,…
Veggie Chocolate Cake
My baby cousin is turning 3! As most of you are aware, kids’ birthday cakes are generally filled with artifical ingredients, preservatives, GMO’s, and other ingredients that can be harmful to those with allergy issues (ingredient examples: gluten, dairy, etc). Why we feel the need to pollute our children’s bodies with junk is beyond me,…
Oven “Sun” Dried Tomatoes
I just LOVE the flavor that sun-dried tomatoes bring to a good meal. Whether I’m making a pizza, a sauce, or a salad, a hand full of these babies make it all better. What you’ll need: -Baby (cherry or grape) heirloom/organic tomatoes. I usually use a pint-sized basket at least. -1 or 2 heads of…
Chicken Stock
What do we do on a cold winter day? Make homemade chicken stock for all our holiday recipes! Did you know that homemade bone broth (chicken stock, beef stock, etc) from quality ingredients is vital to your health!? There is actually a reason that your great grandma tells you to make chicken soup when you’re…
The Rice Experiment
On Thursday, June 27, 2013, we began a small research experiment (inspired by Doctor Masaru Emoto) to determine what impact our thoughts, spoken words, and written words actually have. The study was conducted by myself (Amber) and fellow Upriser, Colette. The purpose of our experiment was not only to prove, and further back up, Dr….
2 Ingredient Cookies and 2 Ingredient Whipped Cream (Vegan friendly!)
Happy Weekend, Uprisers! My wonderful friend, Sabrina, taught me the most magical way to make (and eat) “cookies and cream.” The best part? These are both SUPER easy, and require two ingredients each to make (more optional ingredients can be added if desired, but we’ll get into that later). This tantalizing flavor experience starts with…
Redmond Clay: Facial Mud and EarthPaste (and the WINNER is….!)
My friends over at Redmond Trading sent some goodies my way. I’ve used Redmond’s Real Salt for quite some time, and you probably notice that I always reference it in my recipes. I’ve even been known to carry a little shaker in my purse with me at all times. I’ll do another post another day specifically on…
March Against Monsanto: Dallas, TX
The March Against Monsanto on May 25, 2013 took place in cities WORLD-WIDE. My husband and I personally took part in the Dallas, Texas march. Around (give or take) two thousand people gathered together in front of Dallas City Hall and marched a two-mile route to the Farmer’s Market and back…
