Member Highlight
Mary Ripley
How long have you been a member of HMN?  I've been a member for a little over a year.

I am a holistic mom because:  
I can see how healthy and happy it makes my husband and almost one year old son.  After following the typical medical model for years and not feeling any healthier for it, we made the change over the past year and have never felt better.
  
Your holistic passions are:  Natural birth and breastfeeding.
  
What inspires you about HMN or holistic living? 
I'm really new to the holistic living lifestyle so when I joined the group I was amazed at the wisdom of all the ladies in it.  It seems like whenever anybody has a question somebody has the answer or at least a suggestion to try.

One of my favorite healthy recipes:
  
Chili
1 tbsp. coconut oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped or grated
1/2 cup celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup green pepper, chopped
1 can kidney beans or black beans
2 tsp. oregano
2 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. sea salt
1 8 oz. can organic crushed tomatoes
1-1 1/2 pounds grass fed beef

 

In a large skillet melt oil and sauté onions, celery, garlic, and peppers until onion is translucent, 3-4 minutes. Add ground meat, oregano, chili powder, and cumin, continue cooking, stirring frequently, for 5-6 minutes. Pour salt, tomatoes, and kidney beans into pot. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for a minimum of 1 hour for best flavor.
