    • Creamy Butternut Squash Soup: New Instant Pot Recipe

      Posted at 10:18 am by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on May 27, 2017

      I’ve been making loads of soup over the past few months. Why? Because soup is a nutritional powerhouse that is simple to make and super tasty. What  a fabulous way to ensure you are getting a healthy variety of fresh veggies and also consuming healing bone broth! Yay for soup!

      This holds especially true if you’re struggling to get veggies into your child’s diet (or your own for that matter).  Some weeks are busier than others but I my aim is to always have a blended soup on hand. Each meal, I mix homemade soup with my children’s protein to ensure they’re getting ample amount of veggies, bone broth and healthy fats. I often add some tablespoons of grass fed collagen and a good blob of coconut oil before blending.

      I tend to make blended soups nice and thick and that makes it incredibly easy to incorporate into meals. When added to meats, the soup acts as a thick creamy sauce.  My kids find it easy to eat their “soup” this way and I love that they’re getting a ton of needed nutrients for their growing bodies.

      Here’s a recipe that sees heavy rotation in our house. Feel free to add more water/bone broth to create a thinner consistency.

      No matter how you enjoy this soup, sit back and feel good about your choice!

      As the world continues to become faster paced, I find myself gravitating towards simplicity.  A good part of me longs for the days before smartphones and iPads came along to overload our senses with information.  It really wasn’t that long ago and yet it feels like a lifetime.  Don’t get me wrong, I use my phone and iPad often but there is still something alluring about simpler times.

      Does anyone else share that sentiment?  Life today is plain hectic and we’ve become accessible  24/7.  Managing your social media can be a full time task in itself.  It’s not easy to balance all of our responsibilities and complete our ever-growing task lists.

      The world, however, is not going to change and it’s only going to get faster paced.  Trying to fight against the currents of change is a futile endeavour.  That said, we can still preserve the things that matter to us. Continue reading →

      Well, you might have been wondering if I had dropped off the face of the planet.  It’s been over two months since my last post so, yeah, I guess you can say I’ve been MIA.

      Sometimes we all need to take a step back.  The world is very busy and it’s a great re-energizer to spend some time away.  I practiced being totally present in the moment and engaged with family and friends.  I also had time to collect thoughts, and let’s be honest, focus on real world stuff!

      Today I’d like to talk about the Instant Pot and share a recipe for Roasted Tomato + Carrot soup.  Have you heard of the Instant Pot? Let me say…it’s totally and completely revolutionized my time spent in the kitchen.  I’m actually quite in love with it.  I make delicious soups like this one below.  all.  the.  time.

      So what is the Instant Pot?  If you’re not familiar, it’s an electric pressure cooker that also happens to serve as a slow cooker, steamer, and yogurt maker with quick modes like soup, meat/stew, poultry, rice and porridge.  You can also sauté and brown your meat right in the pot.  I LOVE the sauté function.  Say hello to one pot meals and goodbye to additional pots and pans.  Yippee.
