Hello again! 👋🏽

I've been taking a pause from social media to play catch up on our home, and our kiddos. Homeschooling is something you find that needs to be tweaked and re-evaluated often, which is what I've spent this week doing! 🏡
Our next blog post coming up will be focused on homeschooling, so if this is a new adventure for your family, follow along! ↙↙

One step closer, three steps back! 😵 Both kiddo

One step closer, three steps back! 😵
Both kiddos have been sick this week, so we're delayed again on getting our first podcast episode out.
POSITIVE! ⬇
We are experimenting with fruit variety, and all the ways we can get the kids to introduce new foods to their microbiome. Variety is so important to their gut health!
↪ First, we whipped up some guava, hibiscus & mint sorbet. Uhm, yum. 🙌🏼 Winner for sure.
↪ Second, we used the mixture to make some popsicles. Again, super tasty and so easy. Here's the recipe! ⬇
1️⃣ 2 Guavas
2️⃣ Dried hibiscus or fresh hibiscus leaves (we used fresh leaves to steep)
3️⃣ Fresh mint
4️⃣ 1/2 cup of coconut sugar or beet rock sugar (we used beet rock sugar, it adds depth to the flavor!)

5️⃣ 1/2 tsp of lemon juice

🔺 Put guavas, hibiscus, mint and sugar in a saucepan over medium low heat. Low simmer the fruit until soft. If using leaves, remove if desired.
🔺 Blend the guava mixture into a purée and strain. Add the lemon juice and mix well.
🔺 Place the purée in a container and store in the freezer until hard.
🍨 Enjoy!

Gage and I have both had busy weeks at work, and the kids have seemed extra quarantine oppressed. We are all ready for a new normal!
Our podcast launch is hopefully not far off, we're finishing up the final touches for the website this week. Keep checking in! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Listen, organic dried herbs are PRICEY! This is our plan on moving away from grocery store bottled herbs to freshly dried, fragrant ones.
You need:
🔼 Organic cheesecloth
🔼 Selection of organic herbs (ours came from the local farmers market)
🔼 Twine
🔼 Small push hooks to hang from

The cheesecloth keeps the moisture from the wall and keeps the herbs packed tidy. Point your herbs down to assist with drying evenly. 🌿 It makes for a lovely color pop, too!

We received an amazing bundle of sweet potato leaves in our farm fresh bag this week! So nutritious, and really versatile when cooking. Check out our lunch!
➡️ Organic udon noodles
➡️ Organic yellow bell peppers
➡️ Organic sweet potato leaves
Tossed with toasted sesame oil, unfiltered EVOL, fresh ginger, and sesame seeds sprinkled on top. YUM! 👩‍🍳
📍 Kiddos might not like the stems, so cut close to the base of the leaf for easy consumption!

I'm always exploring creative ways to introduce greens to our kiddos! These egg cups are cute, compact and a perfect way to slide in additional nutrition.
➡️ Use a muffin pan to create layers. Bake in the oven! Greens like arugula, spinach, kale and swiss chard are great to use as a base.
➡️ For a meat option, consider prosciutto or turkey bacon.
➡️ Other veggie options can be mushrooms, peppers, and broccoli. Careful to not overload the cup.

Check out the aftermath! Rohen never turns down an egg cup. 🙂
