Butter Chicken Recipe

January 5, 2016 By Gwen Brown 37 Comments

This. Butter Chicken Recipe is my current obsession in recovering from the cheese laden heavy holiday party foods.

Fresh Start Strawberry Smoothie

December 28, 2015 By Gwen Brown 4 Comments

My favorite FRESH start smoothie recipe- sugar free, packed with protein, and SUPER yum!!!

This strawberry smoothie recipe is my reset button. I developed this recipe last year when I started on my protocols with Dr. Rob for my adrenal fatigue issues. At one point in my protocol, I was supposed to drink a green smoothie every three hours for three days, and then until day 14, I was…

Christmas Sugar Cookie Recipe – GF & SF

December 21, 2015 By Gwen Brown 43 Comments

My regular Christmas sugar cookie recipe is totally out of this world good, and SO not on my diet. But we’ve been doing homemade sugar cookies, and sugar cookies frosting parties on Christmas Eve since my baby girl was born, 16 years ago. So we keep the tradition, and I *ahem* attempt to rely on my willpower…

Natural Scents Hot Pot

December 17, 2015 By Gwen Brown 4 Comments

I love natural scents, but great quality candles are kind of costly to burn daily. I discovered that I can fill all of the rooms of my little home with delicious natural scents for pennies a day. Here’s how… First, I send my kids into the yard to gather anything that smells good: sprigs of…

December 10, 2015 By Gwen Brown 6 Comments

The first box under my tree is my SANITY box- peek inside for my best Christmas organizing tips!

The first box under my Christmas tree is my SANITY box. It’s one of the first boxes out of the attic, and I honestly don’t know how I lived without it. The idea for this struck me a couple of years ago as I was rushing around looking for the special hooks for the stockings…where…

Gingerbread Milkshake

December 9, 2015 By Gwen Brown 22 Comments

Baby, it’s cold outside! So WHY am I making a milkshake? Because it’s a gingerbread milkshake! That makes it a seasonal flavor, and totally legit. Just like my Frozen Eggnog Milkshake that’s my other favorite this time of year. And yeah…even the Peppermint Chip counts too. Anything that keeps me out of the drive through…
