Nourishing Traditions Recipes

I've begun this blog to help others who are starting this journey with Nourishing Traditions By Sally Fallon.

About 6 months ago, a friend invited me to a NT class. I have epilepsy and suffer gran mal seizures. I take phenobarbitol and lorazapam for them.

At one of the first classes, I began going into a seizure. My hubby was called to come and drive me home.

I began using the coconut oil and lots of eggs, raw milk and making yogurt and kefir. Soaking my grains in yogurt or kefir and my health is improving. It's been quite some time since I have had an episode.

I think the hardest thing for me was taking down the level of refined sugar. I found that raw honey is great, but that it makes my blood sugar go high. I dislike the taste of stevia, so I decided to try raw agave nectar, and it works wonders.

This little drink recipe helped me stay away from soda drinks with all that refined sugar and corn syrup.

LadyPoets Non-Alcoholic Mint Julep

1 1/2 cup lime juice
1 1/2 cup of agave nectar

Mix well, and add:

1 1/2 Quarts of purified water, or you can use sparkling mineral water
2 drops of organic peppermint oil

Mix well and serve over ice cubes and with a slice of lime for garnish.

This is a delicious way to beat the heat and get rid of those cravings for refined sugar laden sodas.
