joyfalzonespiced apple overnight steel cut oats
No CommentsRead moreWarm oatmeal on a cold morning is the ultimate comfort food AND it is also good for you! The consumption of 3 servings of whole grains every day is as powerful as high blood pressure medications! Just a single serving of whole grains daily can lower cholesterol! The fiber in whole grains also causes an increase in the diversity of bacteria in your microbiome (community of bacteria in your gut). This is a really good thing because is strengthens your immune system in the process, reduces inflammation and your risk for chronic disease! I also don’t want to forget to remind the breastfeeding mommas that oats are a galactogogue, which means they naturally increase a mother’s milk supply! Today’s post isn’t so much of a recipe as it is a method which I learned from Anne-Marie over at Zero Waste Chef. If you haven’t tried making steel cut oats this way, give it a go!

joyfalzonelactation cookies (breakfast bars)
No CommentsRead moreI have two exciting things to share today, one, our second baby decided to join us last weekend at home under the care of my amazing midwives, the Midwives of New Jersey, and two, I am finally sharing what is probably the most used recipe in our house! These aren’t just “lactation cookies” but also a great breakfast for everyone. They are basically a protein-packed oatmeal cookie (and who doesn’t want a cookie for breakfast?)! My husband and toddler love these too.

joyfalzone10 things you need to know about reducing your risk of breast cancer
No CommentsRead moreBreast cancer sucks, and today I am sharing some easy ways we as women can reduce our risk of developing breast cancer (among other cancers). It is the second leading cause of death in American women and is affecting women at a younger age and becoming more virulent. I feel the most important thing we can do is to educate women on what they can do reduce their risk, how to suppress the genetic disposition to breast cancer, and for women who’ve already beat it, how to reduce their risk of recurrence. Most of us probably know the bad habits that increase risk like drinking alcohol daily, smoking, taking prescription medication regularly, and eating processed food/sugar and large amounts of animal products. Instead I want to focus on some steps we can take that may be a little less well known.
