 Fall is here!

September seemed to fly by! I love the crisp mornings and sweet fall breeze.  Here are a few of my other favorites for the month: healing ideas and recipes from some of my favorite real food blogs!

• I’ve been purging my medicine cabinet and makeup drawer of toxic products, so I can’t wait to try this homemade lotion recipe for a chemical-free moisturizer!

• I love the idea of putting kefir in coconut-milk based ice cream for probiotic ice cream.

• Need more freezer space? Check out Mindy’s inventive way to create room for a small freezer.

• Mama Natural gives a recipe for a decadently creamy pumpkin smoothie.

• Caroline’s GAPS banana cake looks fluffy and delicious!

• I’m never buy organic eggs–only local pastured eggs. Just because an egg carton is labeled organic doesn’t mean that it is from healthy hens.

• Holistic Kid gives some great ideas for grain free meals and snacks on the go.

• Who knew you could find real food ingredients at Costco, including virgin coconut oil and grass fed butter!

Have you missed these September posts at Empowered Sustenance? Here are my favorite:

• This is the easiest grain free pizza crust ever! Plus, it is completely allergen free!

• Do you know beeswax candles can help asthma and allergies? I share what I learned in high school working at a Greek Orthodox convent pouring beeswax candles!

• I launched my free Grain Free Holiday Feast cookbook and newsletter! Simply sign up for my newsletter to receive the festive, retro-inspired ebook.

I hope you all had a wonderful September. Eat well and heal™!
