Earwig on a stone background

I don’t know about you but I find at least 5 earwigs (aka Pincher Bugs) every day. They seem to love wandering around our bathrooms and hallway. While they typically don’t bother us, I have been pinched on occasion and wowzers! They sure are strong little buggers. I get that earwigs can be useful in the garden preying on decaying matter and other insect larvae. But in reality, they tend to do more harm than good. Ever bite into an apple and have an earwig pop out at you? I typically leave ... continue reading...

Can You Brew Kombucha In Stainless Steel?

By Jennifer Updated: September 28, 2023. First published: August 26, 2015. This post may contain affiliate links. 9 Comments  

Can you brew Kombucha in stainless steel? Yes you can but there are a few very important things you need to know before getting started.

After Moldageddon happened, I lost my beloved Kombucha Crock. I was devastated. I had it custom made and it was one of those special things to me. A one of a kind piece that I could never replace. With all the upheaval I actually stopped brewing my own Kombucha. But after we got settled in Arizona and I took a look fell over at the price of Kombucha here, I knew I needed to get back to brewing my own. I wasn’t sure what kind of vessel I wanted to get for my continuous brew kombucha. I ... continue reading...

When Toxic Mold Strikes Twice

Mold on ceiling from water damage - mold strikes twice

You know the old saying…lightening never strikes twice in the same place. While this is mostly true, it is almost never true when it comes to mold. Especially toxic mold. Toxic mold strikes twice (or more than twice) more often than you might think. By now you all know about Moldaggedon and how it ripped my life apart at the seams in December 2014. You know that we lost everything and that we had no financial recourse – thus finding ourselves homeless, void of all our earthly possessions, and ... continue reading...

What To Look For In The Perfect Home from HybridRastaMama.com

You finally walked away from your home. The one contaminated with toxic mold and mycotoxins. It’s hard. I know it is. I’ve been in your shoes. Where do you go now? Do you rent an apartment? A house? Do you try to become a homeowner again? Should you live in an R.V.? A converted shipping container? Should you just camp out forever, living life in nature? This is a VERY difficult decision and a scary one at that. Anyone who has lost everything to toxic mold will tell you that the next ... continue reading...

Homemade Real Food Chocolate Syrup Recipe For The Kid In All Of Us from HybridRastaMama.com

Did you know it's so easy to make your own chocolate milk?! I'm guessing most of us grew up with Hershey's chocolate syrup ... and enjoyed it. No? Just me? Well, I remember the dark brown cans filled with chocolate sauce, the cans that came before the plastic bottles. My grandma always had the Hershey's cans when I would come for a visit. There was always round ice cubes stocked in the freezer to have glasses of cold milk too. I have never been a milk drinker, I just don't like the taste. ... continue reading...

Picture of woman in bedroom holding up long sleeve white and gray striped shirt.

You all would be shocked if you took a peek into my inbox. It is flooded with all kinds of questions about toxic mold. While I love the fact that my situation has created some much needed awareness around this topic, I am also finding it near impossible to get to each and every question that comes in. Therefore, I thought that I would start addressing some of the more common questions in a series of posts. Makes sense right? I would like to kick off the series with what I feel is a pretty ... continue reading...

A Jamaican Bammy Recipe That Will Leave You Wanting More from HybridRastaMama.com

Bammy is a Jamaican cassava bread that is traditionally served at breakfast or for supper as a side dish paired with fish. It is basically like a slightly plumped up flat bread that is crisp on the outside and “pancake-like” on the inside. I first tried Bammy when I visited Jamaica in 2006. I fell in love. I ate it almost every morning with freshly caught fish. While the ingredient list is simple, the flavors are anything but! It pairs well with just about anything and it tastes great all on ... continue reading...

So why not address a rather interesting question I received from one of my regular and longtime readers? Here is what she was wondering: “Hi Jennifer! I was hoping that you can help me out. I have struggled with anxiety over the years and am very aware of all the goofy things my hearts ... continue reading...

Not all of my mama friends were as lucky. Many struggled with supplyand breastfeeding. While there are loads of natural ways to boost milk supply, lactation cookies have always been a trusted and popular (not to ... continue reading...

Can Coconut Oil Replace Milk Fat In Ice Cream + Berry Ice Cream Recipe

Can Coconut Oil Replace Milk Fat In Ice Cream from HybridRastaMama.com

I’ve always loved ice cream. Even though I don’t tend to eat a lot of it, I certainly enjoy a few scoops of Green Tea ice cream or Cardamom ice cream every now and again. You couldn’t pay me to eat a “low fat” ice cream. No way! The milk fat is what gives ice cream its true creamy texture and that rich taste. Plus, the fat is what gives ice cream all of its nourishing properties. Without it, you’ve just got a sugary waste of calories. Recently, someone asked me if coconut oil can replace ... continue reading...
