They're All Lovely Lipids, Aren't They?!

*Affiliate links & codes are used throughout this post; please see disclaimer at footer and thank you for your support. Kossma Beauty released a new, limited edition item for her holiday sale. I stocked up (in my usual fashion), and since my sister picked me up first thing in the morning to go holiday shopping, I was super excited to get up early that day and do some online ordering on Kossma's site first--I wanted to make sure I placed my order before everything sold out!

Rack of Lamb: How I Prepare It Like A Pro

*Affiliate links & codes are used throughout this post; please see disclaimer at footer and thank you for your support. Yes, really, I was taught by a pro...but I am not one by any means. From the looks of that picture, I also need to get on that new cookware asap haha (if you want new pots + pans, use my affiliate code: SATIATEDBLONDE). Anyways, a rack of lamb may seem a little daunting, but it's really quite simple. I never would have thought to share this, but a friend

PUFA Aware Skin Care Review (An Ongoing Series)

Kossma Beauty is a father-daughter owned apothecary in Colorado. She has such a creative mind and so much hands-on experience in making her products: balms, salves, body oils, elixirs, hydrosols, and more! One thing I love is that she is always experimenting, trying new things, and refining her products and her process, sharing her behind-the-scenes on Instagram stories (including the beautifully bright and full-of-life herbs sourced here in the USA from Crystal Organic Far

A Low Oxalate Side Dish: Turnips

*Affiliate links & codes are used throughout this post; please see disclaimer at footer and thank you for your support. Turnips, not to be confused with a parsnip (or rutabaga) are one of my favorite low oxalate veggies and they're delicious slathered in butter. Here's how I prepare them: Slice up turnips Drop a few dollops of butter on top Sprinkle my favorite salt (Affiliate code: SB10) Grind some fermented white pepper Bake on a tray in the oven (350 for approximately 35 m

1924 Soaps For Your Man (& More)

Last year I wrote a whole post about how sometimes I just need real soap. Well, my husband definitely likes real soap (all the time, haha). Here are some of the recent items I picked up for him to try from 1924 Custom Soapery: Patchouli Nag Champa - smells like classic patchouli, which has grown on me over the years. Black Tea Cedarwood - this one smells intense, I think it has more of that 90's shaving cream smell that I like! Birchwood Oud - this is nice and earthy, surpr

Natural Fabric Clothing At A Store Near You: Part II

I always have my eyes out for natural fabric clothing since I learned about how our clothing materials are weaponized! Here are some finds I was able to get online, I think these are mostly from Marshall's. A long sleeve linen top and cotton/spandex jeans. I like having longer sleeve dresses for fall. I haven't even thought about belts in years, but this Italian leather braided one was perfect to break up my linen dresses! Another long sleeve linen shirt...when I find somet

Sit-On Kayaks: A Review

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I am a kayaker, now. The thought of that just makes me laugh for some reason because I remember being terrified in canoes and kayaks growing up, trying to hold my breath the whole time! But, believe it or not, we have ended up with three this summer. Before this, I was strictly a stand-up paddle boarder (which I still really enjoy). Anyways, my hubby and I did quite a bit of research before we took the plunge (lol). We decided to

Duck Organ Gravy & Rice

When I want a quick, nourishing meal, duck liver gravy atop rice is a go to! This is super easy to make after cooking a duck for cassoulet. I can make some stock the day before and mix this up fast! How I do it: I pull the giblets out of the duck before cooking, then I make gravy on the side as I'm sauteeing the organs in some water (liver & heart -- sometimes there's a kidney in there, too). I use the neck for a little extra flavor, but it's too bony and too tedious to pu

Head Cheese, Please!

*Affiliate links & codes are used throughout this post; please see disclaimer at footer and thank you for your support. I asked my local farmer if I could get a pig's head...and they delivered! I do like to actually make traditional foods, not just consume them or talk about it, haha. For example, pâté (my first post) stock, and gravy! So there I was with a pig's head, wondering what next?! You'd think I would have had a plan before I placed my order (lol), but I was insp

Crystallized Ginger + A Marvelous Biproduct

As I've been on my low ox journey, I've been implementing more and more of Sally Norton's tips. She shares about having a few pieces of crystallized ginger. Ginger is medium oxalate, so it's helpful in my transitioning phase. Do you know how hard it is to find candied ginger with only two ingredients: ginger & sugar?! Really challenging, so I made my own. I looked up a few recipes, but in true Nicole fashion, I gave it a rather uncalculated whirl. How I Did It: I used ab

EC3 Mold Solution Spray: All The Places I've Tried It!

*Affiliate links & codes are used throughout this post; please see disclaimer at footer and thank you for your support. Mold (to some extent) is common in homes. Even without a "mold issue" I like to be proactive. However, I do have a habit of leaving my laundry in the washer and use this to help with mold spores (and I like how it smells, subtle but fresh)! In this post, I'm sharing the different places I've used this EC3 Mold Solution Spray (Affiliate code: SATIATEDBLOND

Low Oxalate Quiche

*Affiliate links & codes are used throughout this post; please see disclaimer at footer and thank you for your support. It's really hard to mess up a quiche, and I've been making them for so long, a lot of the proportions just get eyeballed. This quiche was a little different in that I made raw ice cream first, which meant I had a ton of egg whites on hand. Typically, I freeze the whites and give them to my dad as a "gift" to make angel food cake when I go back home (really

Planting Seeds, All Year Long

If you would have told me (even just three years ago) that one day I'd enjoy planting flowers and growing my own garden, I don't think I would have quite believed you. But, here we are...and I'm loving it! I plant seeds all year round in the intangible way (if you're picking up what I'm putting down, lol). But, the last two years I've also been planting physical seeds. Rest assured, I'll continue planting both. My husband picked out quite a few different seeds this year:

After making homemade chèvre, we used it right away in one of my hubby's creations...one of my favorite side dishes.

This is what it looked like before I put it in the oven: Now, this is the key step that m
