1. Garlic - in bulb form or peeled whole (refrigerated).
2. Coconut oil - cold-pressed, virgin, organic. I use this in my tea in between meals, on top of steamed veggies, the list goes on and on!
3. Eggs (the perfect food!) - I'm looking for no-soy eggs right now... tough to find but I will keep looking!
4. Wild salmon - canned or fresh. I can eat this stuff for breakfast!
5. Good Celtic or Himalayan salt or RealSalt - regular salt can have dextrose (from corn!) added to it!

8. A probiotic foods of some sorts: kimchi, kefir (my first attempt to make @ home today!), yogurt, etc.
9. Kombucha - yes, the weird, fizzy, slightly vinegary- and sweet-tasting drink. I'm gearing up to make this at home soon. It deserves its own category.. I'm so addicted to it!
10. Bones - for making homemade bone broth. Good for digestion, multiple uses, easy to make.
That's all, folks! What's on your favorite 10 list??? Please share!

Hi Erica,
ReplyDeleteI like your list! I'm addicted to Kombucha too and recently started brewing my own. I will try your Kale chips too, thanks for the recipe! We have a lot in common and I LOVE your blog :-)
Best,
Kara Sorensen
Kara, I love your website! People don't realize that cravings aren't just cravings -- they are signals we need to listen to from our bodies. Most of the time, we don't know how to listen! I aspire to have a practice like yours in the future. Keep up the great work! ~Erica
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Erica! It is hard to narrow it down to just 10, isn't it? We love kale, too. My mouth is watering now and it's 10:45 pm...hmmm...not a good thing. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHm.. I know what you mean. I just had a frozen strawberry. Yum... late dessert to cool me down after a full bellydance practice!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting list! I've never heard of no-soy eggs. Are most eggs from chickens that are fed soy? Does this cause a problem for people who are allergic to soy? (I'm not - just curious.)
ReplyDeleteWe like kale, too. We usually cook it with garlic and olive oil.
Hi Stefanie!
ReplyDeleteYes, most eggs do have soy, unless you can buy them from a local farmer that does not use soy in their feed.
I am allergic to soy. After two years of avoiding it directly, I still break blood vessels internally when I eat soy. Not fun. After I ate a 3-4 omega 3, organic vegetarian-fed eggs, I felt sick and had a racing pulse (signs of a bad body reaction). I have avoided eggs since then and am waiting for a local farmer to reopen business so I can buy some soy-free eggs!
I've heard someone say, "You are what you eat and what you eat, eats."
I love kale... can't get enough!
Love this! And thanks for visiting my site and commenting. I will be back here for sure. My list would pretty much be the same, although we haven't been successful with kefir yet. But garlic - there is no such thing as too much garlic.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, there is no such thing as too much garlic!! =)
