Herb of the Week is a little different today.

You’ve probably heard me say, “I’m adding my aromatics” in my cooking videos. But what exactly does that mean?

From our Louisiana holy trinity to garlic, carrots, parsnips, thyme, and oregano, aromatics are one of my favorite ways to build flavor while adding nourishment to everyday meals.

Watch today’s video to learn why I call them aromatics.

Cucumbers are one of those simple foods that can be enjoyed in so many ways.

Fresh with the peel, tossed into salads, blended into smoothies, added to infused water, made into tzatziki, or fermented into pickles.

How do you enjoy your cucumbers?

Black beans have a special place in my kitchen.

I added homemade black bean soup to my nourishing foods during chemo, and I still make a big pot today. I enjoy it throughout the week in different ways.

Simple, nourishing whole foods never go out of style.

Herb of the Week: Cinnamon

Not all cinnamon is the same! This week I’m talking about everyday kitchen cinnamon versus Ceylon cinnamon, also known as “true cinnamon,” and why knowing the difference matters.

Ceylon is the variety I personally choose when using cinnamon regularly for wellness, including as part of my own routine to support healthy blood sugar.

Bananas are a staple in so many kitchens, but there’s more to them than meets the eye.

From green to beautifully spotted, each stage of ripeness has something different to offer. Take a look at this week’s monograph to see which stage you reach for most.

Which is your favorite?

Herb of the Week is a little different today.

Herbalism isn’t only about reaching for an herb when something is wrong. It’s also about the herbs we use every day in our kitchens to nourish and support our bodies.

In today’s video, we’re talking about the difference between using herbs as everyday nourishment and using them for more targeted herbal support.

The Nourishing Apothecary: Food, Remedies, & Spiritual Reflections

08/06/2026

I’m excited to announce that I’ll soon be launching my YouTube podcast, Truth & Hope: Cancer Conversations.

We’ll explore the misinformation surrounding both modern medicine and natural therapies for cancer with honest, evidence-based discussions rooted in compassion, wisdom, and hope.

I’ll also be sharing my personal cancer journey and how my faith in God sustained me every step of the way.

I hope you’ll join me as we seek truth together. It will look a little like this below 👇

Truth & Hope: Cancer Conversations

One of the questions I get asked the most is, “What cured your cancer?”

The truth is, I can’t point to one thing.

I chose an integrative approach. I trusted my oncologist and followed my treatment plan, while also nourishing my body with healthy foods, exercise, quality sleep, stress management, and carefully chosen herbs and supplements that my medical team knew about.

During my journey, I drank soursop tea, took resveratrol, used my homemade elderberry syrup, and other herbs like ginger and focused on eating real, whole foods. Did any one of those cure my cancer? I can’t honestly say they did, because there isn’t scientific evidence proving that.

What I can say is this. I wanted to support my body in every healthy way I could while receiving medical treatment.

But above all else, I believe my healing was part of God’s plan for my life. Throughout my journey, my faith in Jesus Christ gave me peace without fear, strength when I felt weak, and hope that I would be healed. I truly believe God sustained me, carried me, and gave me the endurance to keep moving forward one day at a time.

I also believe God works in many ways. Sometimes He heals through miracles. Sometimes He heals through the wisdom and gifts He has given doctors, surgeons, researchers, and modern medicine, and natural medicine. I thank Him for every part of my journey.

I believe conventional medicine and natural wellness don’t have to be enemies. When used wisely and with guidance from your healthcare team, they can work together to support your overall health.

If you’re facing cancer, my encouragement is simple. Build a team you trust. Ask questions. Learn from reliable sources. Nourish your body. Care for your soul and spirit. And above all, hold on to your faith and never lose hope.

My hope has never been in one herb, one supplement, or one treatment. My hope has always been in God. He was my strength through every appointment, every treatment, every difficult day, and every victory. To Him be all the glory.

🍎 An apple a day has stood the test of time for a reason.

I enjoy eating apples with the peel after washing them well because that’s where many of the beneficial nutrients and fiber are found.

🍎 But did you also know?

Apples contain pectin, a natural prebiotic fiber that helps nourish the beneficial bacteria in your gut. A healthy gut plays an important role in overall wellness.

One simple food. So many benefits.

How do you enjoy your apples? 🍎

🥝 Kiwis may be small, but they’re packed with nutrition!

I love choosing foods that nourish the body in more ways than one, and kiwi is definitely one of them.

🥝 But did you also know?

Many people peel their kiwi, but the skin is actually edible and contains fiber and antioxidants. Just be sure to choose organic when possible and wash it well before eating.

I enjoy adding the whole kiwi to my smoothies. Skin, seeds, and all!

What’s your favorite way to enjoy kiwi?
