In reply to Lindsay.

Katie did genetic testing and talks more about which ones here. https://wellnessmama.com/health/home-lab-tests/

She also takes 3 different choline supplements and rotates through them (so not all 3 at the same time).

Comment on Marinated Jammy Eggs: A Savory, Flavor-Packed Protein Boost by Jamie Larrison

Jamie Larrison — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 04:16:24 +0000

In reply to Anita. Yes, they stay in the marinade in the fridge. And you can use the marinade as a seasoning/sauce, but it may not work to marinade more food if it has food particles in it from the egg.

Comment on Flaky Almond Flour Pie Crust by Jamie Larrison

Jamie Larrison — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 04:15:10 +0000

In reply to Pat Rupchock. It should work just fine for a fruit pie. You may need to blind bake the bottom crust for a few minutes first. I use my fingers to spread the crust into the pie plate and up the sides and then do a crumble topping, but you could also use crust for the top.

In reply to Carla. The baking soda tastes salty. You can add more xylitol if you'd like to counterbalance the salty taste more.

Comment on Healthy Marshmallow Recipe by Jamie Larrison

In reply to Emily. If you used brown vanilla extract or marshmallow herb it could have caused them to be tan. Maybe they weren't mixed enough?

In reply to Lynn Murrell. The nutrition data specifies a serving is 1 cup. You can always decrease the recipe if you want to make less.

Comment on How to Make Silky Whipped Tallow Balm by Stephanie Johnson

Stephanie Johnson — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 17:45:10 +0000

In reply to Jamie Larrison. I am making a guess with this comment. Could you try lemon or orange zest? Maybe some dried herb like peppermint? Or almond extract which has a pleasant aroma. I hope this helps.

Comment on My Take on the Weighted Vest Trend & What I Do by Deanna

Deanna — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 16:23:06 +0000

Hello Katie, Great article! I find that the weighted vests are a bit out of my price range though. I’ve always walked with weight, even 20 years ago. A small daypack was my go to and always had at least a first aid kit in it and added weight when required. I was always questioned why I wore this daypack. It just felt good to have my shoulders pulled back and straight in a proper position. Who new there were additional benefits.

I found some scuba-weights in the junk, and an air-hostesses demo-belt. I want to make a weighted-vest with these. Any pointers on what makes it a good one or a bad one?

So is 4 cups considered 1 serving?

Comment on Homemade Lip Balm Recipe by Emmy

Emmy — Sun, 23 Mar 2025 23:48:57 +0000

I just started using this recipe as a base to experiment with. I do it in half batches adding 6 drops of vitamin E oil and 1/4 teaspoon local honey. For my latest batch I infused chamomile into the coconut oil before making the balm and am really happy with the result. As someone who typically dislikes chapsticks and lip balms because I’m very sensitive to texture, I’m extremely happy with the consistency of this lip balm as it’s not too oily and lasts for a decent amount of time.

Comment on Homemade Coconut Milk Recipe by Elizaveth Rains

Elizaveth Rains — Sun, 23 Mar 2025 17:53:16 +0000

In reply to Quartz. I would like to make a comment about the coconut tasting like soap or so. It's a reason for that some stores mixed-up the coconut are made for beauty purposes get accidentally in the stores for human consuming or the producers can sent to the stores intentionally to sale for a human consumption. I guess the most greedy stores saling some like that will be walmart they don't care. I bought many coconut ? was impossible to eat very toxic ended through in the trash. You must test a little bit the produce to make sure it's edible...

These tasted delicious but I must have done something wrong. Any idea why they didn’t fluff up and turn white but instead came out jiggly and rubbery? It wasn’t from over mixing, since it never got white and fluffy. Still tan colored. Thanks!!

In reply to Angela. Someone already answered this above. Looks like you need to let them set up and then remelt the traditional way with a little butter.
