What a beautiful blessing to be able to watch the Earth turn green & flourish itself after such an arduous Northern BC winter! . It's a reminder that all things will be renewed -- if they're allowed to!

Counting down the minutes to dive into this 'comfort bowl' tonight! All ingredients are toxin-free organic, purchased from local businesses that support small, sustainable producers ✌ . I slow-cook the chicken carcass for a few days, along with some organic herbs, veggie scraps, & a chunk of Chaga. . Turmeric is great for helping to reduce inflammation, and tastes great, so I highly recommend adding it to all of your soups & stews! This dish is loaded with garlic, onions, squash, potatoes, chicken, cremini mushrooms, cilantro, rosemary, oregano, cayenne pepper, chili powder, marjoram, pink Himalayan salt (great for adding flavour, as well as trace minerals that our bodies require for optimal functioning), pepper, cumin, & all sorts of amazing stuff that is easily found in some ready-made mixes (curry powder, Italian herbal blend, cajun seasoning) . This came together quickly by using precooked leftovers from earlier this week. . Time to chow down! #nomnom 😉 . #MelissaDawnHiller #MyOrganicLife #KitchenWitch . #curry #currychicken #homemadebonebroth #certifiedorganic #chaga #veggiescraps #leftovers #stew #delicious #nutritious #everythinginbalance #goodeats #healthyfood #nontoxicnutrition https://www.instagram.com/p/BtCQ2VilGto/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ip952q7y7uv

Today's agenda: Update my organic food blog. I've thing that I take very seriously, is my health. It's my goal to help inspire lifestyle transformations by the sharing of my recipes & photos, made better by also sharing the health benefits of some of the seasonings & ingredients that I choose to use. Atm, oregano is on my radar. 🌱 'Mountain Joy' - Greek 🌱 It's native to Northern Europe 🌱 Contains 2 volatile antibacterial oils - thymol & carvacrol. 🌱 Can help fight mrsa, and staph infections. More on my blog later today... #oregano #foodismedicine #healthyself #healthylifestyle #hillerhomesteadBC #myorganiclife #melissadawnhiller https://www.instagram.com/p/CNkfnElF3OM/?igshid=8mt8tvy59r0w

Coconut curry chicken with herbed rice, & roasted cauliflower! I tossed in a handful of raisins when adding the coconut milk & curry powder, & coriander, for a nice bit of zip!

July 16 - "Edible" #picoftheday Today I've decided to share a photo of my edible flowers 🌼 I groomed my giant yarrow plant that I've had growing in my front garden, wrapped a piece of time around the stalks, and hung them to dry. Yarrow is versatile and can be used in a variety of ways! I like to toss a few leaves & flower heads into some hot water, and create a nourishing tea (along with a few other 'herbs', such as white clover buds, and a few mint leaves). It can be dried and infused with oil to make healing salves - great for wounds, pain relief, inflammation, & tissue repair. Yarrow can also be beneficial for fevers! Do a hot water infusion, allowing it to steep for several hours. Strain it, then add it to your bath water, or create compresses with fabric, placing them on your hands & feet (think socks, and wristlets). It works by encouraging the body to open our pores and sweat the fever out. Fresh yarrow leaves can be used to stop a wound from bleeding! Crush up the leaves and put them directly on the cut. The yarrow will speed up the blood clotting process, and will disinfect the tissues. Remember, it also decreases inflammation & pain! Fresh leaves are best, but cut and dried yarrow leaves can be placed directly on a cut, or you can steep some & make a compress with the yarrow tea. Yarrow grows everywhere! Next time you're out in your yard, or in a park, take some time to look around. You'll probably find some easily! One last thing - always seek clean plants. Avoid environmental toxins, pesticides, and animal areas!!! (For obvious reasons) 💩 I hope you learned something new today ~ & happy yarrow hunting!

🎃 I finally decided to make use of my frozen purée from the pumpkins I accidently grew last year 😊 This was an experiment to see how my trusted & true recipe (that me & my Grandmother Cannard have both used for decades) - would turn out without eggs. I decided to make some flax 'eggs', & it was a success! The added bonus being extra fibre, & the plant-based omegas from the ground flax. I will definitely do this from now on! Eggs aren't necessary! #alwaysorganicingredients #flax_eggs #groundflax #sproutedspeltflour #pumpkin #avocadooil #pumpkinpiespices #baking #pumpkinloaf . . #KitchenWitch🌠 #MyOrganicHomestead🐝 #MyOrganicLife #MelissaDawnHiller https://www.instagram.com/p/B3QsqhKFzNb/?igshid=n15vvouh1h0z

Today's task -- Organic oil infused for future skincare recipes! Use dried 'herbs & petals', which prevents this oil from spoilage & mould. #diyskincare #herbinfusedoils #flowerinfusedoils #calendula #chickweed #rosepetals #nourishing #alwaysorganic #organicingredientsonly #nontoxic #MelissaDawnHiller #MyOrganicHomestead #MyOrganicLife🐝 #KitchenWitch🌠 #CreatingMyOwnDestiny💯 https://www.instagram.com/p/B2r43ZCFXnS/?igshid=1n9irwp5cdvl1

I'm an outdoors enthusiast, & I love fishing! . Since relocating to the west, I've had to prioritize on the things that I spent my finances on -- & finally, after almost 5 yrs, I once again own a fishing rod!!! (Another birthday blessing) Woohoo!!! . I have no idea if there's any fish in this river, but that didn't stop me from casting for a few hrs! Exercise, fresh air, ice cold mountain water.... It doesn't get any better than that! (Bloopers included 😂) . #getoutdoors #girlsfishtoo #fishing #riversofBC #northpeacebc #northernbcgirl #outdoorlife #outdoorfun #wapitiriver #outdoorfun #camping #lovemylife . #MelissaDawnHiller #Crazy4Daizies #PerfexionInMotion #LoveTheSkinImInCA https://www.instagram.com/p/B2HrN_yldfy/?igshid=19ddl7475b1ue

We discovered this beautiful place a couple of summers ago & thankfully the weather cooperated, allowing us the opportunity to camp here for a few days upon our return from the Yukon. It was a much needed respite after a long, cold summer alone. Reconnecting in nature, far removed from all cell towers..... Pure bliss 🌲. The water was icy, but it didn't stop me from wading in & casting a line for a few hours. I caught nothing, -- but the vibe was perfect, & my soul feels well nourished. 💖 . #riversofBC #northernbc #tumblerridge #wapitiriver #serenity #naturesgifts #outdoorlife #getoutdoors #naturenut #wannabeforestdweller #treehugger #bliss . #MelissaDawnHiller #CreatingMyOwnDestiny💯 #PerfexionInMotion #LoveTheSkinImIn #ThunderingSilenceBlog⚡ #KitchenWitch🌠 #MyOrganicLife🐝 #Crazy4Daizies (at Spirit of Nimikii Design Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B191byWlBJa/?igshid=lhueq3u8c9s0
