A very Happy Birthday to our beautiful daughter @melferrara Let your light shine bright always

I have some EXCITING news to share. As you all know I am an Alternative Health Practitioner, Nutritional Therapist and co-author of H C. You may or may not know that I suffered with many health issues for most of my life. As a young girl I dealt with headaches, acne, stomach issues and inability to concentrate in school. Fast forward to my adult years and everything magnified. Headaches turned to migraines, acne turned to cystic acne, weight gain, hypothyro...idism, low blood sugar, elevated LDL, low HDL, depression, and tremendous stress and anxiety. It wasn’t until my studies that I truly understood the power of food. With my newfound knowledge, I turned to a paleo lifestyle and immediately felt the benefits (after a few days of detoxing) . Through this new lifestyle, I got busy in the kitchen re-creating all my favourite comfort foods and soon after co-wrote my first cookbook. Being Italian, my love for Pasta (gnocchi in particular) is no surprise. I scoured the shelves of many grocery/health food stores looking for a pasta I could enjoy. There were gluten free options, and even some paleo. Unfortunately, even the paleo options had an ingredient or two that I could not tolerate. When I couldn’t find it, I created it... and with that the N B and the first paleo gnocchi was born. I really wanted to fill a gap and give myself, my family and now consumers a gnocchi that was not only delicious, but nutritious as well. Our gnocchi are high in fibre, vitamins, minerals, protein, healthy fats and flash frozen for optimal freshness. I soon convinced my husband Rick to partner with me. He is the man behind our branding, from logo to packaging and I couldn’t be happier to share our life and now our business together. Pictured here is our first gnocchi test run. A couple more tweaks to perfect, but we’re almost there.

H ! There are certain scents that trigger wonderful memories of the holidays. For me scents of orange, clove, cinnamon, and cranberries remind me of Christmas. Every year I put a simmering pot or crockpot of homemade potpourri with the above ingredients. It’s a great way to make your home feel warm and inviting, plus helps keep a bit of moisture in the air which is great during the dry winter months! It’s also a great way to have your home sm...ell amazing without candles and other chemicals. All you need is either a crockpot or a medium size pot, add: 1 orange, sliced, 1/2 cup of cranberries, 1 teaspoon of whole cloves and 3-4 sticks of cinnamon. Fill the pot with water, just below the rim. Then all you have to do is keep the water level full. Another great combination is: 2 lemons sliced, 2-3 rosemary sprigs, 1 tsp of vanilla! This would also make a budget-friendly fun DIY gift idea. Simply add your Christmas potpourri to any size canning jar, burlap or cellophane bag add ribbon and a cute tag. What’s your favorite holiday potpourri combination? #holidaypotpourri #festivescents #christmas #crockpot #orange #cranberries #clove #cinnamon #makeyourhomesmellfestive
