Brussel Sprout Recipe | Crohn’s Disease | KN95 Masks Price Drop | Personal Sized Sanitizer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Well well well \u2026 Monday Again! Wait, no \u2026 Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know we will all be a day off a day the whole week! I hope everyone had a great long weekend though! We got a last minute invite along with a few other couples to a friend\u2019s house to have dinner and hang out around the pool. It was very much needed to have a little social interaction!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Brussel Sprout Recipe\u2026
<\/strong>They were grilling hamburgers and hotdogs and due to my dietary restrictions (see below), I made my own meal and took it with me. While doing so I accidentally created something I am going to tell you about below. Didn\u2019t you know this was also a cooking show? So, one of the things I can eat right now is brussel sprouts. I like them fine boiled, but I have a funky way of making cabbage that is delicious and make brussel sprouts the same way. Basically, I cut the ends off, and then slice them into about 4-5 pieces. When you do, and stir them, they break apart making ribbons of sorts. So what I do is use some olive oil, put them in the pan, add salt and pepper, and cook them (stirring often) for a little while to sort of get the oil in there. Then, I add some water and stir and cook, tasting until they are as tender as I want them. OH \u2026 I forgot it today but I also add just a touch of apple cider vinegar. It\u2019s good, you should try it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 Accidentally Turned into Cole Slaw
<\/strong>But today, I didn\u2019t feel like slicing till my fingers fell off, so I wondered if I could use the Vitamix<\/a> to do it faster. I am fairly new to cooking and don\u2019t know what I am doing. I put a handful of the them in there but apparently it was on the DESTROY setting. It made what looked like cole slaw. Hmmm \u2026\u2026 I added salt and pepper, a little avocado oil (I would just as quickly use olive oil), and then a little vegan mayo. (I am not vegan, but I have an egg allergy). It was GOOD. I took it to our friend\u2019s house and let several people try it. They all loved it. I shall now work on tweaking this recipe! I feel so fancy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

My Crohn\u2019s Disease
<\/strong>As to my dietary restrictions, I was diagnosed with Crohn\u2019s<\/a> early this year and am trying to avoid going on a lifetime of medication by using radical diet changes, supplements, etc to get my digestive track back in order. I started my journey with a food sensitivity test from Everlywell<\/a> (if you use this link and order a test you get 15% off and I get a gift card!). It showed that I have an immune response when eating eggs, dairy, and gluten. There were other things with lesser impact like beef, garlic, and others. They recommend you cut out the things that affect you the most and go from there. So, I did that which meant not eating bread or cheese so no more pizza. Bummer, but \u2026 there is a Mellow Mushroom pizza place near here that has gluten free crust and vegan cheese! It prob has SOMETHING in it I am not supposed to eat, but 1-2 times a month I go eat it anyway. SO GOOD. Anyway, I started there, and then went to a functional medicine doctor who put me on some supplements including a \u201cshake\u201d every day. Then I started eliminating foods from my diet that were \u201cinflammatory\u201d. Now I just eat tree bark \u2013 haha. No, I eat pork, salmon, and a lot of green vegetables \u2013 mostly kale, brussel sprouts, cabbage, okra, and a few other things. I read a book called The Plant Paradox<\/a> by Dr. Gundry that caused me to not eat many vegetables that you would think would be good for you, but that he says are not due to lectins. I also am trying to follow a \u201cLow FODMAP<\/a>\u201d diet. I can tell you, doing all this at once is not an easy thing, but I am determined to get my body back in whack. OH .. the very cool thing about all this is I have lost FIFTY pounds. I feel great and get compliments about my sexy body haha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Face Mask Price Drop
<\/strong>In partnership with our vendor, we slashed prices on KN95<\/a> masks! We dropped the price by $1 per mask in all package quantities for our Quick Ship AND standard ship KN95 masks. The case pricing just dropped to a price of $3.25 per mask for Quick Ship and $2.95 for Standard Ship! We also lowered the prices considerably for our 3-Ply masks<\/a>!

As a reminder, the Standard Ship masks are a different vendor, but are of equal quality. They just take longer to order, arrive, and keep in stock. The Quick Ship masks are a little more expensive because our cost is higher, but we have huge quantities in stock.

New \u201cPersonal Size\u201d Hand Sanitizer \u2013 Great Price!
<\/strong>I am excited to announce that we now have some \u201cPersonal Size\u201d 100ml (3.38 oz) bottles of gel hand sanitizer<\/a> coming!! They should be here today or tomorrow! We have them available individually and also in case quantity. The prices are quite nice, especially for the case<\/a>!! Pre-order yours today!
