A good day to enjoy a PUMPKIN SPICED LATTE

MAKE IT BULLETPROOF !

For all those who love Bulletproof Coffee, here's my recipe for a pumpkin, turmeric, spiced version:

Into your VitaMix, put:

10 oz freshly brewed organic drip coffee (I use Joshua Tree Coffee)

1 tablespoon homemade turmeric paste 

2 tablespoons Brain Octane Oil

1 tablespoon grass fed ghee

1 teaspoon Pumpkin spice

1 tablespoon full-fat coconut milk unsweetened

a few drops of stevia - optional

Blend for about 10 seconds until frothy (start slow on low, increase to high) 

Addictive indeed.

turkey bone broth - sipping comfort

This morning I'm cooking up a batch of turkey bone broth.  In addition to the basic ingredients, I used fresh rosemary to give the broth a more herbaceous flavor because in my humble opinion turkey bone broth tastes rather gamey. I also added fresh turmeric and whole black peppercorns to give it an extra nutrient boost. This batch is now on my stove and will be simmering for a minimum of 24 hrs.  When it's finished, I'll strain then decant it and I'll be sipping it daily.  Because I'm making 6 quarts, I'll also freeze half of it in quart size glass jars.   

Thanksgiving, the day after & a lot to be grateful for

Wishing all people peace and happiness.  This morning I woke up feeling peaceful, happy and content.  I'm grateful for that!  I know there's a whole lot of people who aren't experiencing those thoughts because of the fear and destruction of the pandemic.  I'm grateful for so many things in my life - the life I always dreamed of - the life I have today.  I'm grateful for my husband, Scott, and I'm grateful for my 2-yr old fluffy dog named Cooper.  The 3 of us live in a safe, sunny, beautiful place called Desert Princess.  It's a wonderful resort community -- we have people of all ages who own homes (and second homes) here .  We've made a some very nice friends and we enjoy all our neighbors.  We have wonderful walking paths here with gorgeous views of beautiful mountains, some even snow-capped ( I can see snow at Big Bear from my bedroom window), swaying palm trees, a gym, tennis courts, 3 golf courses, a restaurant,  and a lot of friendly people. I'm just so grateful.
