Cayenne

By

Cayenne is one herb I would never want to be without. It's good for so many things but we use it a lot to help stop bleeding. Cayenne regulates the blood flow in the body from the head to the feet so that it's equalized. Cayenne is also really really good for your heart.

You probably shouldn't try these remedies on younger kids, unless you think they could handle the burn.

Bloody Nose take some cayenne pepper (the kind you get from the grocery store) and add a few shakes into a small glass of water (like 1/2 cup). Drink it down and the bloody nose should be gone within 10 seconds. I've tried this several times and it works every time without fail. Its a little hot but if you swallow it pretty quick and don't swish it around in your mouth it shouldn't be too bad.

Wounds you can apply cayenne directly on a bleeding wound or take it internally. I sliced my little finger pretty bad the other day, so bad that the blood was seeping out the band aid. I took some cayenne internally (same way as mentioned above) because I just did not like the idea of applying cayenne directly on my wound, ouch! It worked so well, the bleeding stopped within a minute!

Other things Cayenne is good for:
Poor circulation
High or low blood pressure
Hypothermia
Frostbite
Shock
Heart attack
Ulcers

For the life threatening issues, using the tincture (extract) is best because it gets into the blood stream faster.

These taste so delicious and are so much better for you than store bought or even some of those homemade recipes that has loads of refined sugar and flour.

Southwest Stuffed Bell Peppers

By
I've tried a few stuffed pepper recipes, but I hadn't found one I liked enough to post on here until now. This one was awesome! My husband has declared it his new favorite dinner. Unfortunately, he likes it really spicy and it's much too spicy for my toddlers to eat which means I have to whip up something else for them. This recipe makes enough to fill 4 peppers but since it's just my husband and I eating them I usually stuff only 3 peppers and put the remaining mixture in the casserole dish with the peppers. Recipe inspired by a spoonful of sisters and modified slightly to our liking. -4 bell peppers most prefer red, orange, or yellow but we like them all! -olive oil -1/2 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa -1 onion, diced -3 garlic cloves, minced -3oz can of green chilies -1 can organic black beans, drained and rinsed -1 cup frozen corn kernels -2 green onions, chopped -1/2-1 teaspoons chipotle chili powder depending on how much spice you like -1 teasp...

Kale Chips

By
Oh my goodness, these are so good! The first time I tried making kale chips was in my oven and I just used salt, pepper, and olive oil for seasoning. They were really not good at all. I sort of gave up on the idea until I went to visit my friend Emily, who has been eating a whole foods diet for a long time, she is an expert! Her sister actually does the simple healthy tasty blog and Emily posts on there sometimes too! Anyways during our visit, she offered me some kale chips and wow, I went home and ordered a food dehydrator as soon as I could so I could make them! I got this one made by Nesco and love it so far! Recipe from simple healthy tasty . -1 or 2 bunches of kale ripped into chip size pieces (I used curly leaf kale) -1/3 cup raw cashews -2 tablespoons lemon juice -3 tablespoons water -1/4 cup olive oil -1/2 teaspoon sea salt -1/4 cup nutritional yeast -1 small chunk of onion -1/2 teaspoon chili powder -1/4 teaspoon cayenne -1/4 teaspoon turmeric -1 clove garli...
