Puerto Rico (the island of CHARM!)

I just got back from an amazing school trip to Puerto Rico. We started off in Fajardo to do some service work and ended in Old San Juan to enjoy the city. It was a huge eye opener trip that I won’t forget!

The Banyan Tree

I took this picture when I went to Hawaii with my mom. My mom works for a non-profit organization that works to save at risk and endangered plants. She went to Hawaii to work on the current situation of Hawaiian sandalwood being on the “at risk” list, I was just along for the ride.

It’s that time of year… The ramps are out (a It’s that time of year… 

The ramps are out (and have been for a few weeks now) 💚

Please be mindful when harvesting. I have been meaning to make this post for a few weeks now and just now getting it out. Ramps are on the at risk list (you can learn more @unitedplantsavers ). It is really important to sustainably harvest them if you ever want to use them. Do not take more then one leaf from a plant and do not harvest from small patches. There is absolutely no need to dig up the white bulb/root. The leaves are just as good, if not better and the best part is you aren’t killing the plant! That way you can leave a patch, only take what you need, and be able to possibly harvest from it next year :) 

They are know as a culinary delicacy. One of the first edibles to pop up in the spring. They can be used in place of any garlic or onion as well as just throw into really whatever dish you are making. It is also really nice to make a pesto because of the bright green color from the leaves. 

Enjoy the beauty and deliciousness of this plant, but please always be mindful of making sure it will come back year after year in full abundance!!! 

Happy Monday everyone! 
So much love,
From Untamed Medicine 💚

Dinner the last few nights!! 🥘 🍱 🍲 🥗 ( Dinner the last few nights!! 🥘 🍱 🍲 🥗
( and little update)
——————————————————————
• red lentil “tofu” 
• fried oyster mushroom burgers
• potato’s & chard and salad 
• sourdough pizza w/ ramp pesto, nutritional yeast cheeze, caramelized onions, and mushrooms 
• potato latkes 
• tempeh & veggies with salad 
——————————————————————

All of these were really good!!! My favored probably being: pizza and latkes… the potatoes and mushroom burger were really good as well… yeah everything was good 😂

Between the two of us, we are working at a local organic regenerative farm and a local co-op. So most nights we are bringing home some kind of fresh veggie or green for dinner. Along with local onions, garlic, potatoes. We also got to go see the King Arthur Flour store!! Now that we are stocked up on flour big time, we have been also having sourdough everything. 

I feel so so lucky to be in a place where good quality, local, organic food is so readily available! The places we are working for are also super mindful about waste so, as employees, we have been bringing home leftover food that would have been thrown away. It is crazy how much food waste there is in the USA. We throw out SOOOO MUCH perfectly good food that could have been given to people who need it. Or at the very least could have been composted and put back into the ground to rebuild our depleting soil. But instead, food that looks just the littlest bit out of shape, goes to landfills with piles of other garbage where it can not decompose. 
We take and take and take as humans. We disrupt the natural flow and circular systems that just cause harm. Food is to be grown with the land (not against it) >>> consumed with nourishment >>> and brought back to the land to be composted >>> and rebuild the soil for new life to grow! 
What was once a natural cycle that kept itself thriving and going is now just taking life away from the very ground and food that is supposed nourish our bodies. 

Well wanted to just pop in and show dinner the past few nights and of course started on a whole rant 😅 
If anything I hope maybe this gets you thinking about where your food is coming from. 

Lots of love,
from Untamed Medicine

Beautiful baby flowering cacti 🌵 🌸 FREAKING Beautiful baby flowering cacti 🌵 🌸 FREAKING ADORABLE 🥰 
——————————————————————————
When I was younger I bought a cactus and was picking them out based on their pretty flowers. 
We got a few and took them home. It wasn’t until later that night when I was inspecting the flowers that I noticed that they were LITERALLY HOT GLUED ONTO THE CACTUS! Like what the heck 🤦🏻‍♀️
I was probably around ten. A ten year old figuring out that we are being tricked into the plants we take home by fake advertising. Which makes you start to wonder what else isn’t real. 

Needless to say I was mesmerized by these baby cacti at Cactus Mart near Joshua Tree. With actual real life flowers!!! 
Why would we choose to just glue dead flowers on when we can have beautiful flowers like these?! 😍 Because of convenience is why. Because it is so much easier to glue flowers on then put a little effort into letting the plants blossom themselves. In nature plants are not gonna always be blooming and flowering. There are cycles in the real world.

House plants 🪴 ☺️ We are all different and House plants 🪴 ☺️
We are all different and have different wishes for a home. For me I need light and life! I need a reminder of growth and thriving. 
I am the type of person who starts to feel sick if I don’t go outside during the day. Though I am also the type of person who will stay inside for days because sometimes the thought of doing something on my own is too overwhelming…

My first apartment will always have a place in my heart because of how much change and growth I made with it. How it was the first place I could call my own. It was dark - which made it cozy. Though during that time I wasn’t going out much, making the dark feel darker. Do not get me wrong, I love a cozy moment where the darkness swallows you in a blanket, just not all the time. A balance of dark and light is needed in life. So making your “home” (whatever it is for you) a representation of that balance is important (to me!). Sometimes when life feels a little darker it’s good to add EXTRA light in your life. So with that… we introduce the house plants 😂 ALL THE HOUSEPLANTS! hahaha 

Happy Saturday everyone!! 
Enjoy the sun, snow, moon, flowers - whatever it is, wherever you are ☀️ 

Love,
Untamed medicine ❤️

A winter harvest from a few years ago 🤍 Fresh A winter harvest from a few years ago 🤍

Fresh herbs I feel is a big one I forget to utilize when cooking. Often times it is one that I always wish I had on hand to finish off a dish or add more flavor while cooking. Not to mention the heart herbs that still grow strong into the colder months that help keep our immune systems strong. Like sage, thyme, garlic, rosemary. 

So just a nice reminder to use your fresh herbs when possible! 🥰

Lots of love,
Untamed Medicine

Granola!!! A good recipe to make for a quick par Granola!!! 

A good recipe to make for a quick parfait (like I did this morning 😋) and/or to make in bulk and have on hand. Also a really versatile recipe to add what you like. 

🌿 mix together about a handful of whole oats, a spoonful of sweetener of choice (I like maple syrup or honey), a spoonful of fat/oil (I like coconut oil), splash of vanilla extract, and some dashes of cinnamon. Bake till golden brown, stirring every once in awhile. Take out and let cool to get crunchy. 

- optional: you can add nuts and seeds. When it is done baking you can also add dry fruit (but only at the end so that is doesn’t get hard) 

You can store the granola in an air tight container. Make sure it is completely dry before doing so. 😊 

Love,

✨🤍BODY BUTTER🤍✨ The colder months are u ✨🤍BODY BUTTER🤍✨

The colder months are upon us! My hands are getting cracked, red, and itchy. 
There are so so many ways to make a body butter so take this basic recipe and fix it to your needs: 

🤍 1 part solid butter (ex. Shea butter, mango butter, cacao butter)
🤍1 & 1/2 parts liquid oil (ex. apricot kernel, jojoba, sweet almond, avocado)
🤍 optional: essential oil 
• for a little bigger batch to keep on hard I would do 1/2 c solid butter & 3/4 c liquid oil, adding 4-5 drops of essential oil. 

Super easy with just 2 necessary ingredients. But you can also spice it up by making combinations and/or infusing with herbs. Examples: 

✨Shea butter & apricot kernel oil infused w/ rose & chamomile
✨cacao butter & sweet almond oil 
✨mango butter & jojoba & avocado infused w/ calendula, yarrow, & lavender

When mixing and matching oils and butters just keep in mind how they react at different temperatures. Coconut oil for example I will treat as a butter in the winter, and a oil in the summer. 

✨ to make: add ingredients to a double boiler (you can also just put a larger jar in a pot of water, make sure to not get water in it though!). Let it all melt together. Take off the heat and add just 2-3 drops of your essential oils if you so choose (keep in mind that essential oils can cause irritation, especially if using them on dry cracked skin). Next you can just pour it into a jar and let solidify. If you want a whipped body butter (like in the picture), add the melted down oils to a bowl and place in freezer until it is just solid but not hard. Using an electric mixer, mix the butter until fluffy and add to your container :) 

The best time to apply this would be right after a nice hot shower or bath, so that those oils can lock in the moisture your skin absorbed from the water. 

Ps - also makes a great homemade gift :) 🤍
