Egg Perfection🐣

We LOVE soft boiled eggs in our house. 
And after much trial and error, trying all the tips you can find on the internet, I found the perfect way to make easy to peel, jammy-yolked eggs every time: I steam them. Yep, they're not actually boiled at all.

No hard, chalky, green yolks or rubbery white here! The steam cooks them more gently, and I have noticed the eggs are far less likely to crack during cooking as well.

I have a large stockpot that has a steamer basket I can put in, which sits a quite a bit over the water. It fits 17-18 eggs at once. I steam them for exactly 9 minutes and then plunge the eggs into cold water. Ideally you would have ice water but I never think ahead that much... but they turn out great anyway. I let them cool on a large bowl of water for a minute and then drain that water (which has warmed alot already) and refill the bowl with fresh cold water. After five minutes I drain and refill and swish the eggs around a bit just to evenly cool them. You can let them sit in the water til completely cooled or move them to the fridge to finish cooling.

I always use store bought eggs because eggs that are not super fresh, like the ones we gather daily from our hens, peel better. I usually make two batches, so we'll have like three dozen eggs ready to go. Also, you'll want to bring the water to a boil before adding the eggs to the steamer.

Brian loves them for his lunches. And if they aren't quite and soft and creamy as usual, he will let me know...I think he's getting spoiled. Lol

I love to eat these eggs with just a sprinkle of pink salt, but I also love them for topping salads or naan. They are also super amazing on toast that's been smeared with avocado, which is one of the ways my kids love to eat them.

If you want try to steam eggs but you don't have a pot as big as mine you might need to adjust the cook time a little... maybe try 7 or 8 minutes first and see how it goes.

By the way, the gorgeous eggs in the top picture are all collected fresh from our own chickens. I just can't get over how beautiful they are! Like snowflakes, each one is different, a work of art.  Every egg is a unique masterpiece designed by an intelligent Creator who didn't even let something as humble as an egg be dull or boring. Amazing.  That just makes me so happy!

This Is Going Well // DNRS review

{This is going W E L L}  Brian gave me this mug for Christmas, and it's my favorite.❤  All the work I've been doing to retrain my brain and heal my body has been going very well, and I am so excited and optimistic about the future!  I mentioned previously that I would be starting the Dynamic Neural Retraining System, (DNRS), which works with neuroplasticity based techniques to heal an impaired limbic system, which is essentially a brain injury that results from trauma and causes your brain to process and store information as if you are in a constant state of "fight or flight", or emergency response.  Trauma is relative to every individual, and there are different types of trauma; obvious things like death, war, victim of a crime, major accidents, and those sort of things are Traumas with a capital 'T'. Things like illness, chronic stress, unstable family life, negative relationships, and many others, are  traumas with a little 't'; on

Transformation // Hair Analysis #2

I haven't posted in over a year.  I have six drafts that I started writing and never posted because I just couldn't decide what to say, with all the current world events and how I was feeling emotionally and mentally, (kind of all over the place), so....it has been quite awhile since I updated on where I'm at in my health journey. When I last posted here, I talked about DNRS and what a difference it was making for me. I am very happy to say that, even with the world being turned upside down, I was still able to keep that new level of health I had reached, and I am now doing better than ever. That's not to say there haven't been a lot of ups and downs, and some really low lows, but I really believe that I healed my root cause issues. 2 years ago, I was working on treating anxiety, SIBO, low stomach acid, HPA axis dysfunction a.k.a. adrenal fatigue (the most severe my doctor had seen on paper), other hormonal issues, and more, all at the same time; it was challenging

Updated Supplement Protocol

This is my current protocol of supplements we are using to support my body in healing my gut, hormones, and overall health. I am posting this partly to document my progress, and also to share what is working for me,  and to maybe give people ideas to ask their doctor about. Do not just start taking any supplement without working with a trained practitioner. There are too many personal and varying factors to navigate the world of supplements and vitamins alone. Do yourself a favor and get professional, knowledgeable help to give you the best chance at complete recovery and fastest results. I saw my Naturopath last week, and we went over my symptoms and adjusted my supplements and added in a couple new things. This protein shake is one of the new additions to my treatment plan. OptiCleanse GHI is a protein powder supplement that we are using to support healing my gut, specifically leaky gut, and also support liver detox. It tastes quite good actually, which I was ver
