The world has caught up with us and they offer all kinds of things, but thankfully what I love most are the things that I grow in my garden, so I thought I would share a couple of my little recipes that taste like Summer! Simple, clean, delicious, healthy!"

Besides becoming a vegan, Christie also encouraged her followers in another post to put effort into taking care of our environment.
She captioned a video featuring flowers and bees in her garden with the caption: "There's so much magic on our beautiful planet but nature needs us to nurture our Mother Earth.

Don't pull the weeds – many are pollinators [that] the Bees and Butterflies LOVE!"
