Sneaking in kale: A little weekend cooking inspiration! If your family is tired of egg muffins or boiled eggs, these are great alternatives and they allow you to sneak some kale into your family’s diet. Spraying olive oil into a muffin tin, take 5 boiled and shredded potatoes, combine w 2 eggs and salt, pepper and garlic (or buy frozen hash browns in the store to do a faster version) and mold them like mini pie crusts into each muffin tin. Bake at 350 until brown. Broil at low heat until middle and tops are brown. Spray a plain pan w olive oil. Then take them out using a spoon and put on pan. Fill w goat cheese and top with kale mixture (kale is made by lightly sautéing kale greens, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper). Bake again at 350, being sure that kale doesn’t get burnt. Viola! It makes a nice breakfast or you could serve one warmed up with salad greens for dinner. . #healthylifestyle #healthycooking #eatyourveggies #eatyourgreens #eatyourveggies #breakfasthack #kale #kaleisking #breakfastideas #breakfastclub #breakfastofchampions #yummyinmytummy #holisitcliving #holisitcwellness #momlife #momstyle #momlifebelike #kidseatyourgreens https://www.instagram.com/p/CDHxWIEH9t2/?igshid=1rdtizrvfzu3s

Why Lemon Balm?

Let me tell you about my friend Lemon Balm. It is a valuable herb used for stress assistance. It is also useful in treating insomnia, sleep disturbances, anxiety and jittery nerves; allowing for a more relaxed body and better quality sleep. The polyphenol tannins contained in Lemon Balm give it its anti-viral properties making it particularly helpful in healing colds, flu, bronchitis and any viral infections.

Lemon Balm doesn't stop there.....it detoxifies the liver, spleen, and kidneys, and helps reduce bladder inflammation, which makes it a star for alleviating interstitial cystitis and urinary tract infections.

Lemon Balm also contains rosmarinic acid (a chemical compound with antioxidant properties). The herb is also used for cold sores, high cholesterol, genital herpes, indigestion, and heartburn. In essential oil form, the scent of lemon balm is used to reduce stress. 

I sometimes have anxiety still and I take a dropper full on an empty stomach once a day, first thing in the morning. Being proactive is good for me.  I sometimes can’t sleep because my mind won’t shut off and it helps.  Also, if I find myself in a sticky situation where I even think I may become uncomfortable, I take another dropper full.  No matter the time of day. It’s perfectly fine to use it more than once a day.  Get you some!
