If you are lucky enough to access venison this year, you have got to try this venison stew. We were gifted a deer shoulder this fall from our patient Lowell (thanks again Lowell, you’re the best!). Check out what I did with the backstrap he gave us, too! I’ve still got a few more roasts…
I am making an exception to our “Wordless Wednesdays.” I have too many recipes to share with you, and I need to honor someone extra close to my heart… Yesterday was my son Austin’s first birthday! I am in awe of our little man each and every day as he is growing up and learning…
Take a gander at what a few girlfriends and I made at a Spice Mix Party we threw last month: I’m not sure if we created the idea of a Spice Mix Party, but it sure was fun! It all started with the realization of two Maximized mommy friends, Rachel and Jess, that pre-made spice…

We are back! Austin and I took about a month off from our normal routine and spent a lovely couple of weeks in Houghton and L’Anse, Michigan. So refreshing to relax and put all our cares away for a little while. And a few of you asked how Austin enjoyed the water…well, he loved Lake…
Last night, my husband and I had a booth at a local Family Fun Festival where we put on our “Dr. Dave” and “Health Expert Elise” hats and greeted families in our community to create awareness for our wellness clinic. A lovely couple, who as it turned out belong to our church (such a small…
It’s summer, but does that mean we can’t enjoy a good One Pot Wonder? I didn’t think so! This is a super easy casserole that takes all of 15-20 minutes to mix up. You can prepare it the night before, and pop in the oven in the evening when you get home from work. This…
This is a yummy fresh salad that I’ve been having for lunch lately, as I had been given a huge bag of brown rice to use up. And who doesn’t love sushi! This is a play on the California Roll, minus the surimi. You get all the sushi flavor, in a simpler form! I’ve just…
In case you’re not following my adventures and interesting article shares on Facebook, I wanted to let you know what Dave and I are up to for Lent. We have helped launch a 40 day renewal series at our church focusing on renewing the temple God gave you — your body! We’re already in to…
Happy Monday! Hope your weekend was relaxing and fun. Mine was both of those, with a little bit of work mixed in. But the work was fun, of course, otherwise I wouldn’t put the time in (lol). Dave and I are helping to plan and deliver a seminar titled “Rebuilding the Temple” at our church,…
