Tips

You can definitely bake your own crust but this is an easy midweek meal  

Preparation

  1. Pre-heat oven to  425° F. On a baking sheet, toss together the olive oil, butternut squash, honey, cinnamon, cayenne, and a pinch each of crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, until the squash is just tender and remove from oven. Add 1 drop of sage vitality oil to the squash and toss. Increase the heat to whatever the directions on the package say.

  2. Meanwhile, caramelize the onions. Melt the butter in a large skillet (cast iron is best) on medium-high heat. Add the shallots t and cook approx 3 minutes, until softened. Add balsamic vinegar, season with salt and pepper and continue cooking another 5 minutes, until the vinegar has mostly evaporated and until the onions are golden and caramelized. Add a pinch of crushed red pepper, cook another minute. Remove from the heat.

  3.  To assemble. Drizzle the dough lightly with olive oil. Top with the onions, you may not need them all. Add the cheese, then the prosciutto. Arrange the butternut squash on top.

  4. Slide into the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted. Once removed drizzle with balsamic glaze. ENJOY!

Meet Paulina Tavernier | Speaking my truth with joy

 

I’m Paulina, and I really want to thank you for joining me in my little corner of the web. 


I’m a wife and full-time volunteer for Bible education, it is the most important thing in our lives and is what brings us the greatest joy. 


When it comes to my health, I realized as a young teenager that alternative medicine agreed with my body much more than traditional medicine. And as a young married woman, I learned it even more so. I had always had issues with my cycle, but just after a couple of months of being married, I started feeling worse and found out after about 3 years that I had PCOS and hypothyroidism. An acupuncturist explained to me that synthetic birth control was causing all those problems, plus was the reason for the many emotional issues I was having. I remember one day, my in-laws were over, and as I was in the kitchen, I had to stop what I was doing and catch myself with the countertop because of a cyst bursting and the pain. Many times I was close to fainting. So I decided it was best to stop taking them. I definitely started feeling better, although my cycle was still a bit off.


Throughout the years, I felt like I was not being heard, as I had so many issues when going to the doctor. So many OBGYN’S wanted me to go back to the newest pill because “it would be better this time.” There was one time a doctor told me to take the pill back to back just so I wouldn't get my period, but I ended up bleeding for 6 months in a row.


In the past, bronchitis was also something I fought against all the time. Doctors would put me on antibiotics, and they would make me so sick. There were times when I became extremely dehydrated because the medicines would make me vomit. I felt like my voice was not being heard once again. I HAD to find a way to deal with my anxiety, bronchitis, my hormones, my joint pains, and restless legs, and so I did. I found ways and protocols that no doctor had recommended that actually worked. I wasn't waking up at night anxious anymore, I haven’t gotten bronchitis in 4 years from the time I was writing this, my cycle is more regular, and another pleasant surprise was that I no longer have the wrist pain I’d had since my teenage years that was preventing me from playing my flute for any more than 5 mins.


I now have the tools I need to help me balance out my emotions, self-confidence, and hormones as I live with PCOS. And I finally feel like my voice means something.


I choose to speak and express myself with JOY now, whether it is with friends or a doctor. And I love to help others to be able to do the same as they deal with PCOS.

If you are ready to manage your PCOS and live joyfully, then you've come to the right place!
