Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats

I just led a retreat in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was the most magnificent time and truly gave me the opportunity to cook for the fall. We had a packed schedule with hiking, yoga, and face masks so our meals had to be quick but delicious. I wanted these women to feel like they could make these…

A different topping or mix-in can transform this comfort dish into something extremely dreamy. The maca powder…

Eating Essential Oils

Did you know you can eat some of your essential oils? Make sure they are therapeutic grade pure essential oils. I like the brand doTERRA but Young Living is wonderful as well. You can eat these essential oils if they have a nutritional facts label on the bottle. Add a little Lemon oil into your…
