Written by Kari @ KariNewsom.com, Contributing Writer Autumn is officially here! At least in Colorado! We are having beautiful and warm days (high 70's to low 80's), but the nights are cool and crisp! Leaves are turning bright yellow, orange and red - and the morning has brought a slight haze these past few days. Typically I am more of a warm-weather person. I'm all about the sun, flip flops and being outside. That being said, I'm still a Colorado girl at heart. I like to get bundled up in … [Read more...]
Whipped Naked Magnesium Butter
September 14, 2015 By
Written by Kari @ Living Strong Wellness, Contributing Writer It seems these days that good, restful sleep is hard to come by. Not only with adults, but children as well. As this is not an exciting fact, it is a reality and I believe we have a wonderful variety of natural options to help us. For instance, there are herbal teas, essential oils, supplements and something I want to share with you today – magnesium butter. Ahhh, this stuff is amazing. Why do I love it so much?

Easy “Sun Dried” Tomatoes
September 11, 2015 By
Written by KT @ One Organic Mama, Contributing Writer If your garden is anything like mine - you are being inundated by tomatoes... of all varieties... let me explain. Because we compost we always get lots of sprouts of various old seeds from the year before... this year because I was pregnant/just had a baby I wasn't so great at pulling them... Now my backyard is a total jungle of hundreds of tomatoes. Each week I make 150+ of them into tomato sauce and freeze it. The … [Read more...]
Easy Cauliflower Crust Pizza {for a Large 16 inch Pizza}
August 14, 2015 By
One thing I love is pizza, I mean who doesn't??? There's something nostalgic about it, you bite into a cheesy piece of deliciousness and your tastebuds erupt with excitement and fun memories. We have pizza night on Friday nights, a lot, not always but I'd say at least 1-2 times per month. You can make pizza healthier, for one, done't get delivery, make your own. For the crust, you can use whole wheat (if it's sprouted, even better) use sourdough, use a gluten free flour or even a … [Read more...]
Tropical Delight Smoothie
July 17, 2015 By
Written by Kari, Contributing Writer There is something about summer that brings with it the need to make me feel like I live near the ocean, palm trees and an abundant supply of coconuts. The truth is, I live in the foothills of Colorado - which I absolutely love - but it doesn't bring with it the euphoria of ocean waves and coconut beverages! This is where I use our love of smoothies to fulfill this need for all things tropical. Everyday during the hot months of Colorado, we … [Read more...]
Protein Packed Nut Butter Bites
March 24, 2015 By
Written by Contributing Writer, Kari at Living Strong, Health & Wellness Snack time! Personally, I'm not a big "snacker". I can go meal to meal without needing any extra food to keep me going. Although, having a family, I need to have a plan on hand for our meals and snacks and then I need to make sure they are ready and available to eat! My kids, on the other hand, seem to need a snack every 30 minutes. I can understand why since they are on the go, non-stop, active kids. This can … [Read more...]
Crock-Pot Apple Crumble {Sugar & Gluten Free}
October 14, 2014 By
Fall is my favorite season! It's not quite yet Fall weather here in Tennessee but I know it's right around the corner. I have been trying to avoid using the oven since ours is gas and it heats up the whole house, although the warmth has been feeling nicer as Fall is approaching. Using the crockpot is a great way to avert the heat... PLUS, it's easy! Dump ingredients, turn on and walk away. Well, it's mostly that easy. Most recipes like chili or stew are that easy but … [Read more...]

Crockpot Stuffed Peppers
September 15, 2014 By
Written by Kelly @ Eyes On The Source, Contributing Writer Is it feeling Fall-ish at all for any of you yet? Maybe with the kids going back to school and possibly cooler temperatures.

So either way, a warm and cozy meal that doesn't heat up the house works for us all! :-) How to make Crockpot Stuffed Peppers: What is your favorite warm and cozy meal for Fall? … [Read more...]
