Must haves for your first aid kit :-O

Whether you have children in the house or not (but especially if you do), you need a first aid kit. Here is a helpful list (in no particular order):

• Colloidal Silver- cuts, insect bites, burns, sore throat, burning  eyes and a whole slew of other reasons
• Hydrogen peroxide (3%)- ear aches, hardened ear wax and topical infections
• Elderberry syrup or berries- first sign of illness 
• Oregano- tough to get the kids to take but it is wonderful for sinus infections and colds. Also wonderful for fungal infections!
• Nettles- any and all histamine responses (allergy season, food allergies, pet allergies etc.)
• Garlic oil- ear aches and infections.

• Calendula ointment (or any combinations with it)- burns, lacerations and irrittaions.

This is not an exhaustive list but it is a base from which to build. When a loved one is feeling under the weather it is best to start with the basics and then "throw the kitchen sink" at it when necessary. If you have a first aid kit already built into your home it makes it much easier to buy additional supplements and products on an "as need" basis. Stay healthy out there!!

Veggie Sushi rolls with your produce boxes :)

Alright! This will be the easiest thing you have made yet!
You will need : Toasted Nori sheet
                       Purple Jasmine Sticky Rice
                       Your choice of veggies from you box (sliced like skinny french fries)
                       Brown Rice Vinegar
                       Brown Rice Syrup
                       *Optional: Sesame Seeds, Tamari, Ginger and Wasabi
                        **All Ingredients available at Clear Conscience Natural Market

Start by Boiling 2cups of water with a pinch of sea salt
Add 1 cup Purple Jasmine Rice to boiling water
Rice is done when water has evaporated and rice is soft (about 20 minutes)
Add 2 tbsp of both Brown Rice Vinegar and Brown Rice Syrup to your rice and stir well
Let the rice cool to room temperature and begin on your veggies
Take your sliced veggies and place them into pan with coconut oil and sea salt, splash a little Vinaigrette   over the veggies (We have several to choose from)....Veggies are done when they are softened slightly
Place your Nori roll on counter top or bamboo roll and moisten hands with cold water so rice does not stick to them. Put 2 tbsp of rice on Nori sheet and press out to the corners evenly and thin.
Place veggies on rice horizontally
Before beginning  to roll your nori moisten the far edge of it so that the roll sticks together at the end
After rolling it up slice to your desired thickness and enjoy with your optional items
