Chocolate is a food of the heart, from its associa

Chocolate is a food of the heart, from its associations with love to the healing properties of its antioxidants. WebMd reports chocolate has a good mix of minerals, including magnesium, zinc, iron, phosphorus and copper. Chocolate also has the potential health benefits of improving brain health and lowering cholesterol. In addition, most people love the flavor of chocolate.

Indulge this February in a bit of chocolate sauce and savor the flavor. This sauce can be used to dip fruit, on ice cream or to make a mug of hot cocoa to share with a loved one.

YIELD: 12, ¼-cup servings

2¼ cups granulated organic sugar or coconut sugar
(note that flavor will change if coconut sugar is used)

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ Tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot starch

¼ tsp salt

1½ cups canned coconut milk

1 Tbsp vanilla

Place first four dry ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan, along with ½ cup of the coconut milk and whisk to combine into a thick paste.

Add the remaining coconut milk, bring the mixture to a boil and whisk to combine well. When the sauce boils, reduce heat to low and simmer very gently for 5 minutes, whisking often.

Remove from heat, add vanilla and cool. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, covered.

May be used hot or cold; on ice cream, cake, fruit or combined with milk to make a quick cup of hot chocolate (blend milk and amount of sauce to taste). #expansion #energy #momhacks #momlife #healer #creating #healthyhome #manifesting #gardening #seeds #soil #planting #homestead #garden #growth #nature #outdoors #soil #dirt #seedlings

With the full moon today, I encourage you to do a bit of reflection and write out some gratitude. What do you need to release and give back to the earth? Make a list of 3-5 things and give them back to mother earth. I love to do this by burning the list and then adding the ashes to our garden. Did you know that wood ash can help nourish the soil?

The wood ash can add potassium back to the soil, it is also used to reduce acidic soil levels and balance the pH. The joys of biodynamic gardening bring the full spiritual circle to the life from all 4 elements. I love how the water, fire, earth, and wind work together to help our gardens flourish. Lean into this full moon and bring a rebirth to your own garden.

I must admit I get excited everyday I find eggs. I watch the chicken cam in the mornings looking for hens using the nest boxes and love to go out at lunch time to see the freshly laid eggs. What color eggs do your hens lay? #eggs #brahma #buffbrahma #cinnamonqueens #homesteading #backyardchickens #cultivatingguts #moreinfonpodcast

I’m sure most of you have experienced the higher prices of foods hitting our grocery stores across the country. I was most surprised to see how the price of eggs has skyrocketed. Much to my pleasure with a coop full of chickens this is one item I no longer have to worry about buying at the market.

In this week’s episode of Cultivating Guts, I discuss the excitement our family felt when we opened our nest box and found our first eggs after having our laying hens for just four months! Listen along as I talk about the joy raising chickens has brought to our family. You can subscribe, rate and review this week’s episode on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.

One of my favorite online shops for all things chickens is My Pet Chicken! Founded in 2005 when husband and wife Traci Torres and her husband, Derek Sasaki, complete novices, set out to raise a few backyard chickens. After a year of reading every how-to book they could get their hands on, they successfully started their own flock, but they wanted to make it easier for aspiring chicken owners by putting free how-to information on the web and offering some unique products and services.

In 2006, the Company launched a full complement of backyard chicken products and announced the sale of baby chicks in quantities as low as three: an industry first. It now boasts over 500 products for sale and ever-expanding free content, including the new Chicken Help area — a database of answers to chicken questions, searchable by keyword or category, and another free e-book, The My Pet Chicken Guide to Incubation and Hatching.

You can use my affiliate link (I do make a small fee if you purchase here) for all of your own personal chicken product needs.

Happy Imbolc! Imbolc for the Northern Hemisphere i

Happy Imbolc! Imbolc for the Northern Hemisphere is celebrated on February 2nd. Celebrate by planting a seed of intention today and welcome Mother Earth into your daily rituals as the days begin to grow longer. For me here on the homestead the increase in light means we are getting eggs from the hens each day. Our hens started to lay on January 9th. The girls and I have an egg log to track the number collected each day. We have gone from 1 egg a day to 6 each day. We had one-day last weekend with 8 eggs, this is super exciting.

What is Imbolc? For those new to being a green witch and all the fun of living in tune with the wheel of the year. Imbolc is the celebration of the Earth's awakening. The quickening of light and life. The first sprout of leaves, tulips, and daffodils will begin to show their heads as the wheel turns. Imbolc celebrates the successful passing of winter and the beginning of the agricultural year.

The day is also the celebration of the Celtic Goddess Brigid who is the Goddess of poetry, Healing, Smithcraft, and Midwifery. All things are made with our hands. This celebration was marked around Europe by flames. Flames with huge blazes, torches, and fire in all forms. I invite you to light a candle or fire to celebrate Imbolc today. The fire represents the spark of illumination and inspiration that burns in our bellies. What was born at the Winter Solstice begins to manifest now! Welcome the Sun today and enjoy the herbs of Imbolc including blackberry and ginger. Bring the color green into your altar along with feathers and spring flowers. It is time for us to begin to plant our seeds indoors!

I have seen the joy in our customers eyes when they open the box of beautiful rainbow eggs. One customer said our yolks are more orange and they taste the best. Tune into this weeks podcast to learn more about what I feed our hens. I believe in a healthy diet of balance to help our hens stay healthy. #chickens #eggs #suburbanhomesteadlife #cultivatingguts #healthyeggcomefromhealthyhens #linkinbio

Our chicks we got in late August are mixed and I am do happy. They lay blue and olive eggs. I expected cream eggs from the girls. This is so much better. Do also arrange your eggs by color? #chickeneggs #homestead #suburbanhomestead #backyardchickens #cultivatingguts

My seeds from jungseeds arrived a few weeks ago and I am starting my tomatoes and peppers in the greenhouse. Yes, we are in a snow storm although I am using heat lamps and a heat map to keep my seed trays warm. My sprouts are up and the tomatoes will not be far behind. The greenhouse is staying above 40 at night with 3 250watt heat lamps. The test will be the -3 degrees on Monday night. Any tips? Do I bring them in for one night? #gardening #seedstarting #homesteading #suburbanhomestead #cultivatingguts

When seed starting indoors there are a few tips to

When seed starting indoors there are a few tips to help with success.

1. Use seeds that are no more than 2 years old.
2. Use a good soil mixture made for seedlings. I love the 512 mix from Johnnyseeds. If you are using a store bought soil mixture add compost to the potting soil to increase the nutrients of the soil. Add water to the soil and mix with your hands to ensure the soil is moist.
3. Cover the seed tray with plastic dome or plastic wrap to create a humid space for the seedlings to sprout. Once the seedlings are over 1 inch tall remove the plastic and water from the bottom as they grow.

With these tips, you will surely see some sprouts in 7-10 days. Remember most seedlings like temperatures above 65 degrees F.

I am adding hoop houses to 8 of my raised beds using pvc 10 foot pipe that are removable for summer storage. The pipe clamps with 1 inch pipe for holders when in use. There is no tilling needed. I will cover with a think layer of compost, seed and cover with frost cloth. The cold crop seeds will go in March. I am excited for this new project. #hoophousegrowing #homestead #diy #gardening #raisebeds #coldcrops
