the GOOD: Liquid Multivitamins from Mary Ruth Organics
Mary Ruth Organics Premium Supplements – I was introduced to Mary Ruth Organics by a listener, and on a whim decided to try out both the morning and evening liquid vitamins. (I try to get most of my vitamins from REAL FOOD, but I know I'm lacking in magnesium, vitamins D and B).
I started these about 3 months ago, and judging by my fingernails and hair, there’s something to this (they’re growing like crazy!).
I’m now on monthly auto-ship (saves 10%), and I find this far easier than pill-popping for some reason. Get a one month supply for $39.95 per bottle, or auto-ship and save a bit more. It comes to about $2.40 a day, and I am a total convert.
the BAD: Air Fresheners, Fragrances & Diffusers
Read those ingredients! Commercial air fresheners are toxic-laden nightmares
So, what are your options?
Open a window - yes, even a cracked window in the colder months, and/or just open a window for 10 minutes a day
These essential oil diffusers are all the rage for people who want natural options!
the YUMMY: Spaghetti Squash Frittata
You Need:
1 small spaghetti squash (need ~2 cups shredded)
3 eggs
1 cup organic kale or spinach, chopped
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced (or another veggie)
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/2 tsp oregano (or spices you like!)
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
Bake the spaghetti squash: Wash and slice the squash in half (length-wise) and place cut sides face down onto a baking sheet with some water in the bottom of it. Roast about 25-30 minutes at 350F (until tender). When done, shred the insides with a fork into a bowl and set aside. *I do this in advance and keep in fridge until I'm ready to make something!
Sauté your chopped onion, mushrooms, etc - add the greens last and don't overcook
Crack the eggs into the bowl with the squash and mix in the spices
Stir in the veggies and then pour the mixture into the sauté pan, cover and cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes or until eggs are cooked through.
BONUS! 5-minute version: I will often shortcut this recipe for a simple, SUPER easy dish with pre-cooked squash. Simply scoop some squash in a bowl and stir in 2 eggs and S&P. Cook as you would an omelet. Makes a big, fluffy, easy egg dish for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
