FEBRUARY - FIRST FRIDAY

Happy Friday! We did it; we made it through January with no processed sugar, alcohol, or dairy (for me). In a nutshell, we cooked a lot from scratch and felt a lot better. We have many new recipes that we will continue to cook and eat every day. I can say there were no negatives that I can think of right now, and a lot of positives, most notably I started sleeping through the night and no longer crashed in the afternoons. I will do a full post of our menu and recipes sometime this month.

Cocktail

But it's February so let's have a drink!! In the spirit of the month, I made a Rose´ Vodka Cocktail! I thought I was going to mix Rose´ Wine, Vodka, and Tonic with a dash of orange bitters to make this cocktail. But I found that Three Olives already makes a Rose´ Vodka, so a change in plans here is the recipe…

Prep Time: 5 Min

Ingredients

Three Olives Rose´

Club Soda

Orange Bitters

Orange Twist

Fill a rocks glass with ice, add an ounce of Three Olives Rose´ Vodka and then top with club soda, a dash of orange bitters, and garnish with an orange twist. This cocktail has subtle sweetness, the orange bitters is a nice balance to the Rose´.

Soap & Monthly Winner

This month I am featuring Salted Rose Soap. It's a lovely blend of nourishing oils and butters, and scented with Essential Oils: Geranium Rose and Orange 5X, with Pink Hymilanian Salt throughout. You can find this soap, along with Salted Rose Bath Bombs in the shop!

The winner for this First Friday is Destiny V.!! Thank you for your order this past month! Your prize soap is on its way :)

Favorites

January was filled with so much eliminating processed sugar that had us spending a lot of time in the kitchen. So for favorites, I thought I would share some new items we discovered for eliminating processed sugar. For the most post, we bought whole foods and cooked just about everything from scratch. But to remain sugar-free, we knew we still need a little sweet and pizza every now and then. affiliate links below

Monkfruit sweetener is great for a sugar free hot chocolate and 4 ingredient peanut butter cookies.

Natural sugar-free peanut butter is perfect for on bananas and apples.
