Research shows microgreens can have 9 times the amount of nutrient levels as their mature plant. They deliver a concentrated dose of vitamins (hello Vit C), minerals (iron, zinc, potassium, Magnesium, copper), and antioxidants (our body uses these to repair itself).

How do they taste?
Delicious 😋 They tend to taste like the more mature vegetables, but in my option much milder most of the time.

How to eat them?
You can just pop them in your mouth, add to sandwich, salad, eggs, rice or stir fry to name a few.

Share with me, how do you like to eat your microgreens?

Love Goodgrass Farm Llc local farmer's market...it's the 3rd Sunday of every month, hope to see you there!

Wishing you and your family a Blessed Christmas. May we all find joy in the little moments 🥰

What do we do with all the Halloween candy? Trust me, I get it, it can be a ton of fun to watch your kids collect as much candy as they can but the problem for the whole family is there is a TON of candy in the house. Now we've created an environment that supports eating a piece of candy every time you pass the candy bowl...it's just a snack size snickers we tell ourselves...but the truth is those snack size candies add up and often replace the more healthy and satiating food choices like fruit, veggies or nuts.

What can we do? Get it out of the house 🏠 How about donating the extra to a local food bank so that everyone has the opportunity to have a small treat? Or have your kids put small amounts in a brown bag that they decorate and give at Thanksgiving drive or send to our troops?

Share with me, how can you and your family share the treats and strike a balance with all foods?

Happy Halloween! Share with me your Halloween pics and don't forget to find a balance...it's ok to enjoy candy in small amounts but don't keep it around...share it with others instead!

When do you find that those thoughts of doubt creep into your head? For me, it's often when I'm networking…I get anxious in big crowds and start to doubt whether I'll be able to carry on a conversation…

Choosing our health these days is difficult…we have so many unhealthy food choices to navigate and find a balance with and why is the only vegetable in a drive-through typically French fries or a dismal salad???

For me, I also look to God for strength and meditate by saying a few times "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength," Philippians 4:13

Share with me, what doubts pop in your head? Let's lift each other up

38 years old and 38 weeks pregnant this week! What's going on with me? I'm still working hard, seeing clients and helping them achieve their health goals. What have I learned during my pregnancy? That we must listen to and trust our bodies AND that begins with self-care…aka eating healthily, moving our bodies, getting plenty of rest and creating a healthy mindset. Rest has been the hardest for me, I have definitely experienced pregnancy insomnia (I've never had trouble sleeping before) which means I've had to leave space in my day to rest and recover so that I don't get overly exhausted…after all, my body is doing a lot of hard work growing our baby!!! However, it was still really difficult to scale back and take the time I needed. I get it, no judgement here, we all have struggles, but that's what's great about being human. Our health is always evolving, it truly is a journey, not a destination. We get to improve and we can find fulfilment and happiness in our progress.

Share with me, what is the hardest part of self-care for you?
