Sourdough Discard Brownies

Indulge in a unique twist on a classic treat with sourdough discard brownies, blending traditional chocolate brownies with the tang and texture of sourdough starter. This delightful recipe calls for everyday ingredients such as butter or coconut oil, dark brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt, combined with the key ingredient, sourdough starter, to create an irresistible dessert. The process is straightforward, beginning with melting chocolate and butter together, then mixing in eggs, vanilla, sugar, and the sourdough starter, followed by the dry ingredients to form a luscious batter.

Careful preparation involves pouring the batter into a baking dish, optionally embedding chocolate pieces for an extra burst of flavor, and baking in a preheated oven. After baking, the brownies are dusted with cocoa powder to enhance their rich, chocolaty allure, ensuring each bite offers an exquisite blend of sweet and sourdough nuances.

This sourdough discard brownies recipe not only offers a sumptuous way to utilize sourdough discard but also introduces an inventive texture and flavor profile to the beloved chocolate treat. It's a perfect example of how traditional baking can be innovated with simple, yet impactful modifications, making it a must-try for anyone looking to elevate their dessert repertoire.

DIY Deodorant

DIY Deodorant
Did you know that our body is meant to sweat.  That's a huge way our body gets rid of the toxins we are exposed to daily.  Years ago, I changed from heavy duty antiperspirants, that rarely even worked, to a healthier, homemade version!  Antiperspirants contain aluminum, to stop the sweat,  which is a huge no no for our health.  Did you know that aluminum is a huge cause of breast cancer?  They don't advertise that well known fact.  What can you do instead?  

Say no to conventional deodorant and say hello to natural, effective homemade deodorant that really works. It's easy to make, last for months, and only takes minutes to make!

This is a recipe I have used for years and honestly, it's the best I've ever tried!  Discover the luxury of deodorant made from your own home. Coconut oil, essential oils , baking soda and corn starch are combined to create a healthy, all-natural alternative to store-bought deodorants. You can even choose the scent!

The recipe is as follows

5 TBSP cold pressed organic coconut oil
1/4 C Baking Soda
1/4 C Corn Starch (can sub arrow root)
20 drops Young Living Essential Oils of choice (I love to use stress away or lavender, but you can choose what you like)

Mix this all together and store in a glass jar.  This can also be put into an empty deodorant tube and kept in the fridge if you like that sort of thing.

If you need to order some oils for this recipe, I got you!


Happy healthy day to you! 
Casey

Product Spotlight

Chances are you will be spending a lot of time outside this month and next - out in the garden, at the pool or the beach, baseball games, hiking, or just enjoying a walk through the neighborhood. Exposure to sunlight is good for the soul… and your health! When your skin is exposed to sunlight, it makes Vitamin D from cholesterol. This vitamin plays an important role in our immune system so it can be hugely beneficial. However, overexposure to the sun can lead to burned skin, wrinkles, eye injuries, and even skin cancer. So let’s protect that beautiful skin, shall we? 
Young Living’s Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is the perfect solution! It’s a natural, broad-spectrum sunscreen and is chemical-free, making it a healthy alternative for adults and kids. You don’t have to worry about toxic chemicals - like a LOT of the mainstream sunscreens contain. This dermatologist-reviewed product is formulated to easily smooth on skin without leaving white residue. Enjoy the outdoors worry-free with up to 80 minutes of water- and sweat-resistant lotion. It’s reef-safe and made with non-nano zinc oxide. This might just be the best sunscreen you’ve ever used!

Life Changes

HEY!   Today I wanted to talk about something that is an integral part of who I am, but it never makes change any easier knowing the results of said change are for our best.  
Change is hard.  
Change hurts.  
Change is uncertain. 
Change upsets our comfortable space.  
Change is unsettling. 
CHANGE IS SCARY. PERIOD! 

You know what doesn't grow if it never changes, a seed.   Imagine if all the seeds of the world never got put in the dirt. 
Never got planted. 
Never experienced the dark, wet environment. 
Never have been cracked open before only to sprout new life.
 A more abundant plant than just the seed alone.  A plant that will produce MANY more seeds.    But that new life and many new plants come from the breaking of a seed.  CHANGE.

The same goes for our children.  They come to us as the most precious gift in infant form.  They need us for everything and we marvel at their accomplishments. Each and every one.  All of them are changes. Growing. Becoming.   

Why do we, as adults feel that change is soooo difficult? I mean, we are wired for it, right? We have to change to become the people God created us to be.   But that's where the twists and turns come in.   Our subconscious mind likes to keep us comfy and safe.  That means in a simple way, it likes things to be the same old, same old.   It takes a real effort to actually try, and succeed at changing habits, reactions, foods, and even cities!.    So many try and it's uncomfortable, so they shrink back into the mindset of, well, this way has always worked for me. And they sit. Forever. Stuck.

You have a choice though!   For real.  It all starts with the decision to do something different to get different results.  It usually comes at a time when we are fed up with where we are. Something propels us, or motivates us to do things differently.  But it's up to us to make that decision and keep the promises we make to ourselves.   

Are you worth the effort to try to change the things you are unsatisfied with in your life?  I think you are.   Now for you to believe it.    ❤️ 
Do you feel you could use a helping hand or a listening ear, reach out to me.  I would love to help you find out what lights your soul on fire and help you make the changes to get you there. 
Sending love and blessings your way,
Casey
