My newest chicken is a bantam - a small hen called a “d’uccle”. She’s gonna stay small and cute. I already love her. She’s so cute!! And she waddles when she walks because of her feathered feet😀

One of the best stretches to overcome FORWARD SHOULDERS and poor posture , mostly as a result of sitting and looking down at cell phones and at computers.

Extension exercise , especially on a foam roller; ARMS AT 90 degrees. For those with less flexibility, use a shorter foam roller.
Hold for 3 sets of 30 seconds. See if you can touch your elbows to the ground. Don’t cheat and don’t overdo it.
It will help you breathe better too.

☺️Had a small gathering of women over to my home to learn to make SALAD DRESSINGS. We started with the basic 3:1 to acid ( red wine , apple cider vinegar and or lemon juice), added a dab of brown mustard, sea salt and pepper, fresh or dried like basil, oregano, thyme, a bit of fresh garlic, and shook it up. To make the we just added blue cheese crumbles. Another variation would be to add feta cheese to the original basic vinegrette.
We served with chickpea bread, golden beets and zucchini slices.
The most important thing is to avoid commercial industrialized seed oils like canola, soybean, sunflower, safflower, etc which are inflammatory and high in . All commercial salad dressings have a label.
READ IT! Most not only have the bad oils but loaded with corn syrup and chemical flavorings and preservatives. Here’s what you do:

1. Make enough to store in fridge - it lasts a long time
2. Add WHEY ( the liquid part of store bought yogurt) to extend the life of dressing, condiments, can use in fermented vegetables and sourdough bread making.
3. We added raw milk sour cream, kefir ( fermented milk), a bit of fresh garlic and blue cheese to the original recipe to make the BEST BLUE CHEESE DRESSING ever.
4. Try adding your choice of herbs from your garden or dried ones ( you’ll need less).
5. Shake in a jar.

I recommend looking at Sally Fallon’s Nourishing Traditions cookbook for great information and inspiration.

🪴👩‍🌾Then we took a stroll in my yard to visit the laying hens, my vegetable garden and picked edible weeds like plantain, woodsorrel ( oxalis) , lemon balm, spearmint.
Fun!!!

If you’re putting your trust in the government, hospitals, medicine to HELP YOU WITH YOUR HEALTH, you are misled and need new direction.

YOU are the one that knows most about your health. Expecting government handouts, cheap medicine and unnecessary procedures to fix you is playing Russian roulette.

The best “ doctoring” is:
1. Sunshine
2. Eating REAL FOOD
3. Sleeping well
4. Moving functionally
5. Drinking filtered water
6. Breathing fresh air- in NATURE

Don’t buy into the scams, the pill -for -an -ill mentality, the victim mentality that you have a “ DISEASE” , that you attach yourself to.
Did you know your body heals hundreds of a day??

You are beautifully and wonderfully made. TRUST IN YOUR INNATE ABILITY TO HEAL!☺️

SHILAJIT is a powerful antioxidant mineral paste , a tar- like pitch from the Himalayan rocks with tremendous healing properties. It’s a bit bitter so combined with HONEY, it’s so doable. I found this raw honey with Shilajit that I add to my yogurt, frozen cherries and walnut breakfast.

It’s popular in medicine and known as “ the destroyer of weakness”. Its benefits are endless but I particularly like it because it’s a natural source of

Great for skin, bone healing, hormone balancing, low s***m count, altitude sickness, lowering cholesterol and triglycerides, reducing Alzheimer’s symptoms.

Warning- those with high iron levels may need to be careful ingesting too much and just like HIMALAYAN SALT, it can have toxic heavy metal residue. Know your source. Like anything you put into your body- but I hate when people are squeamish about taking raw milk, dandelions, bee pollen, substances we know work well for you…..but they take centrum one a day, drink chlorinated water or eat from styrofoam and plastic containers and heavily sprayed vegetables and fruits.
Get real, people!

But I was told it was a hit!
Eggs, apples, bread, half and half. Add pecans on top. Cook for 2.5 hours.

Merry Christmas from the Leys!😘

These industrialized seed oils are inflammatory. LINOLEIC Acid, an Omega- 6 polyunsaturated fatty acid ( PUFA) found in excess in the WESTERN diet, contributes to autoimmune conditions and chronic disease. These oils , regardless of if they’re organic, are processed using heat extraction.
Most people don’t get enough omega 3 in their diet. So the ratio of these oils becomes excess.
Use only cold pressed oil such as coconut and olive.

Merry Christmas to all !🎄❤️
