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
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...

Gluten Free Tigernut Flour Lactation Cookies
When I was a new mama to my sweet Tiny, I was fortunate to have an ample supply of nourishing breastmilk.

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
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...

Dangers of Toxic Mold Webcast with Hybrid Rasta Mama
I recently had the distinct pleasure of visiting with the lovely Andrea Fabry (of It Takes Time and MomsAWARE) who many of you know has really been a rock for me during my Moldaggedon fiasco. Without her expert advice and strong support, I probably wouldn't be in the same place I am today. I'm serious. Had it not been for her publicly sharing her very similar toxic mold experience, I may very well have never known to even test for mold. But I did and we all know what happened next. It was ... continue reading...
The 6 Best Herbal Remedy Books and Herb Recipe Books
I am deep into my journey with herbs. As I work towards becoming a bonafide herbalist, I absolutely love exploring the various resources created by some of the herbalists I admire and trust. There are a lot of valuable resources out there. Some better than others of course.

Surviving Toxic Mold – The 6 Month Update
December 12, 2014 is a date that is etched in my mind permanently. It is right up there with my birthday, my daughter’s birthday, the day I got married, and the day I got pregnant. I will never, ever forget the day I grabbed my daughter’s hand and walk away from our home and everything we owned. Today marks the 6th month “anniversary” of Moldaggedon. It is almost impossible to comprehend how much has happened in those six months. Aside from the fact that I have aged about 30 years, life as I ... continue reading...
