The Tastiest Secret Sauce

The Tastiest Secret Sauce

This is my secret ingredient to make anything taste even better! It comes together in under 5 minutes flat and is incredible as either a dip or spread. We LOVE having it with our Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries and Almond Crusted Paleo Chicken Balls.

The Truth About Mayo

Alright. Let’s just say it. The popular store-bought mayonnaise that seems to pop up at every potluck or summer BBQ is 100% a health hazard. The majority of the ingredients are genetically modified organisms (GMOs) which have a different nutritional makeup and higher potential to cause an allergic reaction. GMOs also increase the use of hazardous chemicals like the cancer-causing, glyphosphate (aka Roundup). Ingredients like poor quality refined oils, white vinegar, and white sugar make up the popular store-bought mayos. They even contain calcium disodium EDTA, which may cause asthma attacks, skin rash, and possibly kidney damage.

So can we all agree to put the mayo down and opt for a healthier alternative? I’ve never been a fan of mayonnaise myself, but I love vegan mayo. My favourite one to use is Vegenaise Grapeseed Oil.   Soy-free and is made with grapeseed oil, it’s one of the few natural foods that raise good cholesterol.

And guess what? It tastes better than mayo! Plus, it serves as the perfect base to aiolis, sauces, and dips.

Cooking with Essential Oils

You’ll notice I use essential oils in a lot of my recipes. I love the potent and pure flavour they give to any dish. Rosemary is definitely my favourite essential oil to cook with. Keep in mind 1 drop of essential oil equals about 2 teaspoons of dried herb.

It’s important to note that not all essential oil brands are created equally. Only use essential oils that labelled safe for internal use. I only use doTERRA’s CPTG oils in my recipes and home. Learn more here.

Let's finally get you back to clear, glowing skin.

Acne goes deeper than just the surface—it's a sign of internal imbalances. That’s why prescriptions, medicated creams, and high-end facials don’t deliver lasting results. True skin clarity comes from an inside-out approach, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

"I just wanted to let you know that this program works!!!

I have never struggled with acne but then I turned 21 and then I broke out all over my fave. I never wanted to go anywhere and didn't want to talk to anybody. I became very depressed and angry. There were times I wanted to quit the program because I felt like nothing was working! By the grace of God, He got me through and I am healed! I just wanted to encourage everyone to keep going!!! You got this! Don't give up! Good things are coming!"

"I actually enjoy the look of my face with less make-up."

 I used to wear a lot of powder and concealer to cover the break out areas, as well as to hide my scars. Both my breakouts and scars are lessening in amount and redness!!
