Health Foodie Loving More Veggies... because Bacon.

This would not be categorized as a vegetarian dish because of our bacon entanglement. Also, I am literally eating my words on this whole "I won't eat brussel sprout thing." This collaboration of previous brussel sprout consumption dare and my ghost child's new professed love of goat cheese with bacon enhancement. All culminating in a simple and quick delicious recipe. Anyone has the time and skill for this.

Ingredients and Prep

Brussel sprouts (steamed, cut in half)
Bacon (cooked, diced)
Goat cheese crumbles (package opened)
Olive oil- one tablespoon

Steps to brussel sprouts in bacon, cheese glory

1. Preheat oven to 425 F

2. Lightly drizzle olive oil on a sheet pan
2. Steam brussel sprouts and cut in half then spread out on pan
3. Cook bacon but barely (light brown and soft) or cheat like me and buy the pre cooked. D
4. Dice barely cooked bacon and sprinkle over brussel sprouts.
5. Place pan in the oven for ten minutes.
6. After the bacon brussel sprouts cool for five to ten minutes, sprinkle goat cheese over.

Done- Bacon fulfillment with sneaky nutrition

Namaste 💓🥓🥗

The Ghost Child

It’s been so cozy in our glittery wonderland of bubbles and glitzy paper; however, the holiday tilt a whirl has abruptly told us to get the hell off. The ton of brick of sorrow and fury hit full force today. It’s not a new or sudden burden, but a reality being acknowledged and denied all the same. For years, I’ve been told “she’s okay,” “there’s nothing wrong,” “we don’t see anything.” My daughter is the ghost child. You see the specter but right through her because you don’t see. While my daughter is “okay” she’s not “okay.” This morning’s event has continued months of agonizing, acceptance, determination, reflection, and writing. In reflection, I keep going back to her preschool years when I literally thought I was going to lose my mind. Literally everyone indicated that there wasn’t anything wrong. It kept nagging as we stumbled through docto...

Health Foodie for Your Face- essentially fighting misbehaving skin

I am in my mid thirties and until recently, breaking out like an awkward teenager. Only more awkward because I am thirty something. It isn't those little things either, I have had deep cystic acne for decades. I have literally tried everything on the market: stores or online, plus doctors poking and prescribing everything. Don't sell me anything. Seriously, I have tried it all, more than once. Only one prescription worked in my early twenties. It peeled chunks off my face for months. So that looked gross. However, I had the best skin for like two years. Every two years I do not want to look like a molting animal. It was expensive to boot. No win there. Then these SOB wrinkles start showing up in the midst of all the acne mess. This has to stop. If you spend anytime with anyone in the skin care profession you get the "talk." About what you eat. While the debate is out exactly on what that is, there are a f...

Meditation for the Distracted: How an ADHD Mom Declutters her Brain

I didn't think that was possible. Decluttering my brain. Most of the time my brain is like those annoying rubber balls let loose in a steel cube competing with the speed of sound. A lot going on with not much room to go anywhere else. It was like this before kids. Now there are lots more of additions, noises, schedules, and distractions. Sitting down is hard enough but sitting to be quiet and focus seems like a joke. Even after establishing a meditation practice. This week has been rough. As I watch Ghost Child take an interest and begin to meditate to calm, it becomes real. Our meditation practice is as important as breathing and sleeping. For our brain survival and surviving our emotions, we need it. If you have a thriving meditation practice, then Namaste my friend and all power too your practice. If you struggle to focus or have distractions, then Namaste my friend, we completely understand this str...
