I hate it when Christians hide behind "religious freedom" to spread hate. I was reading about the new law Arizona passed that would enable Business owners to be able to with hold their services from certain individuals in order to "protect themselves from a lifestyle they oppose". Quote taken from this article,  http://www.allgov.com/news/top-stories/arizona-legislature-passes-bill-allowing-businesses-to-discriminate-against-gays-140225?news=852529.  What the hell?!?! I think the general public needs to be protected from Christians who use Jesus's name to spew hatred. If they truly wanted to represent Jesus they would not only serve the people, but they would invite them into their home (gasp) for a meal. If they wanted to go even deeper in obedience to Jesus and what he stood for they would make friends with the gay person...even invite them to their children's birthday party.  I would be a whole lot happier if those people would just admit thy maybe they a

This is probably must favorite way ever to make curry. It is so tasty and pretty simple.  Ok so gather your cast of characters.  Protein- i used 1.5 lbs of chicken chopped. But you can use whatever you want!! Or no meat at all if you want to be vegan :) Veggies- I used a head of broccoli (stem included) and asparagus cut into bite sized pieces.

I have no idea what category that fits into. Get the full fat kind. It's the best :)   Ok, so fill a pot with water and add butternut squash and let that boi

I told someone on Instagram that I would post this recipe. I need to actually do it before I forget. I get nervous when I post recipes because most of the time I just throw a bunch of stuff together and sometimes it turns out amazing. I get scared that someone will try to make if and it will be super gross or something and I will feel bad that they invested their time and ingredients. I will try my hardest to describe accurately what I did.  What you need  -chopped chicken sausage (I like aidells brand) about 3 I think.  -1 sweet potato chopped into small pieces -1 leek, chopped -1 head of broccoli cut I to small florets -7ish eggs -coconut oil -salt, chili powder, and cumin.    The first thing I did was brown some chopped chicken sausage in some coconut oil in an oven safe pan.  Remove sausage from pan then add 1 whole sweet potatoe (cut up into little pieces). Add a pinch of salt and a little more oil and cook that stirring frequently for a couple minutes, add one cut up leek and 1 c
