Steak Night
If you have been following us for a while, you know we don't eat out at restaurants due to all of our food allergies. Craig and I both enjoy watching cooking shows and then creating recipes in a way that we can eat them. Tonight was steak night in our house inspired by Hell's Kitchen.

 

Ingredients
1 - Filet Mignon
1 - Rib Eye
4 - Organic Russet Potatoes 
1 - Yellow Onion 
2 - Green Squash
1 - Package Organic Tomatoes 
1 - Bunch of Organic Asparagus 
1 Tablespoon -Grapeseed Oil 
4 - Cloves of Garlic
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Lemon Essential Oil
Black Pepper Essential Oil 
Primal Kitchen Steak Sauce 
Kerrygold Butter
Organic Dijon Mustard

Steaks

My filet was super thick, so Craig actually diced mine up before pan searing it on the stove. We added a drizzle of Grapeseed Oil, salt and pepper to the steak. Once finished, I like to add a few drops of Black Pepper Essential Oil.

His Rib Eye was pan seared on the stove with some KerryGold butter.


Veggies

Chop up your veggies and place into a mixing bowl. We used asparagus, squash, onion, and tomatoes. You can add any other veggies you like. We normally will add mushrooms too, but we were out this time. You will also mince up your garlic cloves. We are huge garlic lovers so feel free to decrease this amount if you desire.

Once all your veggies are chopped, add the minced garlic, drizzle with Grapeseed Oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss your veggies together or mix with your hands so they are mixed up and have an even coating of oil and seasonings.

I then transfer to a cookie sheet and bake in the oven along with the potatoes, but the veggies only need about 10-15 minutes depending on the size of your knife cuts.


Baked Potatoes 

Wash your potatoes. We like putting ours into a metal mixing bowl, adding water and about 10 drops of Lemon Essential Oil and letting soak for about 10 mins. The lemon oil will clean the potatoes. After that 10 mins, you can rinse.

Once washed and rinsed. Wrap your potatoes in aluminum foil and bake at 450 degrees for 45-60 minutes depending on the size of your potato. 

I topped my baked potato with Dayia Dairy Free Shredded Cheese.
Craig topped his with Kerrygold Butter.

Dijon Butter

I melted about 1 teaspoon of Kerrygold Butter for about 15 seconds and then added Dijon Mustard and stirred together with a fork until creamy.

About the Ingredients

Let's take an inside look at some of our ingredients and why they were chosen.

Organic Vegetables
We choose to always buy organic ingredients and grass fed beef. Organic foods often have more beneficial nutrients, such as antioxidants, than their conventionally-grown counterparts and people with allergies to foods, chemicals, or preservatives may find their symptoms lessen or go away when they eat only organic foods. Organic produce contains fewer pesticides.

Grass Fed Beef
In addition to being packed with B vitamins, grass fed beef has been found to be higher in vitamins A, E, and other antioxidants compared to grain fed beef. Grass-fed beef has significantly lower levels of saturated fat compared to grain-fed beef. In fact, the fat content of grass-fed beef can be compared to skinless chicken. Replacing saturated fat in grain-fed beef with the unsaturated fat in grass-fed beef has been proven to reduce your risk of heart diseases. Studies have also found that grass-fed beef contains more antioxidants than grain-fed beef. Antioxidants help prevent cell damage that can lead to serious diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Some people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease will also have symptoms with grain fed beef, I am one of those people.

KerryGold Butter
KerryGold butter comes from Grass Fed cows and is a great all purpose butter (if you eat dairy). 

Dayia Cheese
This is a great alternative cheese company for those of us who are gluten and dairy free. If you have tried it in the past and wasn't a huge fan, they recently updated all their recipes and it is now really good!

Primal Kitchen Steak Sauce 
I love this steak sauce because it's organic, gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, vegan and no soy!

Hi, I'm Terra

 
Being a mom was a dream I always knew I wanted, but I never expected that being a special needs mom would bring out the person I was truly meant to be. Mia will always be the greatest blessing I have ever received. Each day she teaches me something new and we are all still discovering things about ourselves along the way. From being a complicated pregnancy, premature birth and NICU baby to being diagnosed with Autism by the age of 2, Common Variable Immune Deficiency in 2014, Acid Reflux, Asthma, and around 40 other diagnoses, you could say we have learned our fair share over the years.

Meet Mia


She is brave, confident, wears her heart on her sleeve, patient and loves everyone. Mia loves to sing, dance, draw, and is an avid movie lover. She doesn't realize the impact she has had on the world already by inspiring others with her story and the things she continues to accomplish.

Craig and I met and married in 2006. Our love has grown even stronger through life's challenges and special needs parenting.

We are avid Harry Potter fans, love to travel, and are passionate about achieving our goals. One of those goals was recently brought to life when we built our dream home in 2020.  After years of financially struggling with the cost of Mia's health needs, we are currently on the path to being debt free by 2027 if not before by using velocity banking.


Craig spent 20 years as a volunteer fireman, is skilled in emergency preparedness, and loves the gun range. He currently works as a Training Director and runs his own CPR business.

As for me, I love cooking healthy gluten free meals, home decor, shopping, traveling, and bringing ideas to life. After spending years recovering Mia, I am now pursuing dreams that my YL Biz has made possible. I love the opportunity that is provided by not only the products but the opportunity to coach others and help them pursue their dreams.

When I discovered Young Living in 2014, I was as big of a skeptic as anyone, but quickly saw there was something magical in those bottles, which led to reading, learning, and implementing changes that we hadn't already made on our journey to natural health. Mia's typical day at the time was filled with screams up to 12 hours a day, and the first day of using Joy, there was peace in our home the entire day with the exception of about 10 minutes. A believer I became, and was convinced that this new path would have a huge impact in Mia's recovery. Little did I know how much every person in our home would be changed by the products. Over the years, I have not only seen my family's life be forever changed, but I have had the opportunity to help thousands of families fall in love with the oils and a healthier lifestyle. Impacting change by sharing what we learned was God's plan for me all along, I just didn't know it.

I can't wait to learn your story too! xoxo ~ Terra
