It’s beginning to look a lot like…..
Christmas!
The holidays are HERE and I am going to say something radical. Maybe instead of buying all of your gifts this year, maybe make some of them instead. I always assumed that since I wasn’t a kid anymore that nobody would want a homemade gift. But when homemade gifts are awesome like this matcha elixir (which I would probably pay top dollar for from any given ‘wellness’ company) then why wouldn’t you?
It makes a very thoughtful gift for all of your friends or even your coworkers. Anyone who loves wellness and superfoods, this is for them!
Now, let’s make some presents!

Do you want your house to smell amazing? YES? I think you do. Like apples and cinnamon and cloves and all of those warming spices? YES! In that case, you definitely want to be making your own apple cider.
I usually buy apple cider at the farmer’s market but making your own lets you control what kind of sweetener you use(maple syrup!) and how much you use (most recipes I see use 1 cup of white sugar and I just can’t even handle that). So if you want a lot of maple syrup, add a lot, if you don’t want any, leave it out! It is totally up to you!

This is why I love summer. Juicy, drippy, sticky, delicious peaches that you can’t help but eat by the basketful. WHY CAN’T IT BE PEACH SEASON FOREVER?! My love for peaches runs deep. Starting in early childhood when we would eat them at the cottage for every breakfast with freshly picked raspberries and wild blueberries. ahhh, those summer days.
And so, this summer I give you a Peach Honey Rosemary Shrub recipe that is basically everything I ever want in a drink. Shrubs are sweet and tangy vinegar drinks that can be used to make cocktails and mocktails. They are incredibly easy to make with their only downfall being you need to let them sit for a couple of days for the flavours to really infuse into the honey and vinegar. Patience young grasshopper!

Nobody likes flaky friends. Unless of course these friends are in galette form. Then give me ALL the flakiness.
Who knew you could have flaky crust while being paleo as well?
And guess what inter web friends? Making a galette, although it seems intimidating, is actually really easy. Promise.
A galette is kind of like a pie’s younger, hippie friend that is totally rustic and fuss free. It can be messy and yet it still looks incredibly cool and beautiful. This galette in particular is sweet, tart and bursting with strawberry and lemon flavour packed in a ghee almond flour crust.

Cold elixirs are basically my life right now. Case and Point: Matcha Basil Limeade, Blue Magic Lemonade, Kombucha Slushie. Can’t stop won’t stop. I think I am just going to throw an alcohol free elixir party and you are all invited. Sound good? Good.
First on the list will be this Watermelon Holy Basil Chia Fresca. Are you ready to give it a go?
