Hey all, it's Madison with another guest post. This time I wanted to offer readers a healthy alternative to traditional Fourth of July meals. Food served on the Fourth is typically heavy on the grease, processed carbs, and saturated fat. These foods are difficult for our bodies to digest and offer little nutritional value. This post re-imagine some classic Fourth of July meals, substituting nutritive ingredients and adding in ferments as a digestive aid. Every recipe in this post offers a great way to introduce healthy probiotics into your system.

I'm not gluten-free anymore (woo!), but I don't tend to eat a ton of gluten, so when Manitoba Harvest sent these Hemp Hearts, I thought it'd be cool to try them in a meatball recipe in place of breadcrumbs. I had just picked up some ground beef the day the Hemp Hearts arrived so it was like the stars were aligning; don't you just love when that happens?

In my family, my dad doesn't cook often, but when he does, he goes all out. His specialty has always been family-style, "complete" meals. Like, as a kid growing up, we'd have these huge Christmas breakfasts before we opened presents, and he wouldn't just make the same old eggs we'd have every morning and call it a day. He'd make Eggs Benedict, with homemade hollandaise sauce, bacon, a fruit spread, and fresh juice.

A few weeks ago I met up with a friend for a walk. We hit up our local Whole Foods for a light lunch, and they offered a healthy coleslaw option with a dressing of olive oil, AVC, and local honey. It was so delicious and it seemed pretty straightforward so I set out to recreate it the next day (it was that good). I've pretty much been making it twice a week ever since and it's the perfect, most refreshing and satisfying summer salad so I wanted to share with you.

Hola! Today we've got a healthy summer salad post coming from our girl Lauren, YBC's Marketing and Events Director. It also works perfectly for a healthy 4th of July spread, if you're feeling patriotic! Hope you enjoy! xo

We went up to Germany a few weeks ago to get our things from storage and I was so excited to unpack our crock pot because it just makes life so simple. Pop a chicken in the crock pot in the morning and it's ready for dinner. Use the bones to make a bangin' broth (quick instructions here) in the crock pot overnight and you've got the foundation for a great soup for tomorrow's lunch ready to go. Hallelujah! 

Anyway, the other day I was feeling inspired by MasterChef Australia, which might be my new favorite show (and now that it's over, I need a new show - anyone?). Normally, I watch MasterChef and I say to myself, "Self? You can totally make that croquembouche," and then I remember that a) I don't even eat half the ingredients in it and b) I am no Martha Stewart. However, the other day I watched an episode about chicken, and saw someone do something so simple that I was certain even I couldn't "stuff it up" (how great is that little Australian saying, by the way?)

The little trick, you ask?
