Thanks, again, to Dr. Shawn Schmidt (Natural Health Center PC in Omaha, NE) for having me on his “Best of Health” radio show and allowing me to spread the word about how chronic illness led me to my life’s purpose. I am introduced about 8 minutes into the recording below. (Click here for more info on the “Eating Additive-Free” book that we discuss in the second half of this interview.)

Farm Tour – Chisholm Family Farm (Elmwood, NE)
The hubby and I LOVE touring local farms, and there are SO many great ones in the Omaha, NE area!!! Last weekend we visited Chisholm Family Farm in Elmwood, NE (about 40 minutes from Omaha). Special thanks to Laura (and her daughter) for hosting us for the afternoon!! We had a blast visiting, petting and feeding the animals and also enjoyed a tour of the RAW MILK facilities and store! I highly encourage my readers and clients to buy from local farmers AND to visit local farms to see where healthy food comes from!

Dairy-Free (& Nut-Free) Pesto
(For more great recipes and all of the grocery shopping tips you need to ensure that you select the most additive-free versions of every ingredient you need to make hundreds of my recipes, check out my e-book “Eating Additive-Free“!
For this recipe, you’ll need:
2 cups fresh basil leaves, packed (~ 4 ounces)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 TBSP fresh lemon juice
2 tsp raw honey
3 medium cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
(12 oz. uncooked pasta, optional)
Toss everything into a food processor (except for the pasta!) and process until combined, stopping to scrape the sides a few times as needed.
Makes 3/4-1 cup of sauce. Freezes well for later use, so I make TONS of this when it’s basil season 🙂
If using for a pasta dish, cook 12 oz. pasta according to package directions. (We like the organic brown rice pasta varieties from Trader Joe’s.) Drain. Toss with pesto and serve!
