Kid Approved Chicken Fingers - Gluten Free

Kid Approved Chicken Fingers 
Gluten Free


Since making the choice to go Gluten Free I have been so surprised how easy it has been to eat better and gone are the days of boring Gluten Free foods. There is so much available now in the grocery stores, whole food stores and Amazon. 

Because I am eating better my kids are getting the benefit of it as well. If I eat fast food they will too, bit eating Gluten Free has not been hard for then because most the time they don't even know they are eating it. 

I found these crackers that I talked about in my Diabetes post. They have been a life saver and they have many different flavors to chose from. My grocery store only has the Almond, Pecan and Cheddar. I LOVE THEM! So much you can use them food. Amazon has other flavors available as well  if you don't have them in your area.

Diabetes - My Life Changing Experience




Diabetes - My Life Changing Experience


I have thought a lot about what I was going to share in this post. It is difficult to put a life changing experience into words because it is so important for me that it comes across where it can help others that might be experiencing the same thing. I really hope that you will listen closely to what I am saying and make any personal changes that you feel you need to. I wish I had sooner than later. 

 I LOVE FOOD and always have. I just love to eat. I have always sworn that I have a bigger stomach than the average person and that is what makes me so hungry all the time. :)

Sunday Snapshots March 1st 2015


Sunday Snapshot March 1st, 2015



Welcome to Riches to Rags by Dori Sunday Snapshots. Sunday is my favorite day to get outside, relax and take some pictures. I hope you enjoy these farm photos.  

We had a couple of inches of snow last night but it quickly melted. We had had unseasonably warm temperatures and now winter has decided to show up again. We could use the moisture. 

Stick around for more Sunday snapshots.

How to use the Camp Wander Cold and Flu Salves and more during Flu Season





How to use the Camp Wander
Cold and Flu Salves.

I have been pushing the Cold and Flu Salves for a while now. I can't stress enough how important it is to be prepared and ready when you have someone sick in your home. There are so many scary viruses out there right now and being prepared is the key. If you wait until someone gets sick to order the kit it will be to late. These oils may be helpful with helping ease the symptoms. 

If you have ordered the Cold and Flu Salves or Essential Oils or are thinking of ordering it this post is here for you to know how to use it when it arrives. 

The Cold and Flu Salves will arrive with four oils or salves depending on what you order that contains, Oregano (Nature's strongest anti-biotic) , Melaleuca (Proven to fight bacteria, virus and fungi) and Lavender Thieves (Support healthy immune function and Lemon.  



I always have this ready for family especially right now with all these viruses out there. 

 For children the Salves and ready to use and properly diluted. 

Open a jar, scoop out an eighth of a teaspoon with your fingertip. Smooth on the bottoms of each foot.  Layer and repeat with each Salve.



Adults can also take 3 drops of each oil in a gel or vegetable capsule every 3 hours when symptoms first occur. This is a more aggressive way to attack it and I suggest taking with some bread. You can also take 3 drops of each in a shot glass of water stirred up or applied on the bottom of the feet.

DIFFUSE DIFFUSE!



Zaq has a line of diffusers like no others out there. The Zaq Diffuser line is the best I have come across. The Zaq Mirage can run up to at least 8 hours, mine has done 12 before running out of water.  This is wonderful when you want to run it all night long in your child's room while they are sick.


We use this same diffuser in our home everyday with Lavender Thieves. Lavender Thieves is a wonderful blend of essential oils that may be helpful in killing airborne pathogens. We run this in the daytime and if needed at night but if there are respiratory issues we use Airway which may be helpful in opening up the breathing airways and coughs.


Stomach Aches

Digest Ease is a wonderful Salve that you will want to have on hand when those stomach aches hit especially in the middle of the night.   

A super digestive that we love to use topically on bellies and directly in navel for upset stomach, nausea, bloating and stomach cramps.


Here is my must have list that made that includes everything that I feel you will be prepared with when starting out with Essential Oils especially when going into the winter season. 


Be diligent in washing your hands and cleaning counter tops and door handles. 





If your child is anxious when they are sick and signs of anxiety show use Jeddy's Blend to help calm them and relax. Rub some on the bottom of the feet, on the back of the neck. This really does help with anxiety. 



I hope this helps in trying to figure out how to use the oils in the time of need when someone is sick. You will be glad that you were prepared.
