Dinner

Oct 27

If your body’s craving something warm, rich, and real — this is the one.
The Creamy Garlic Bison Skillet is everything we love about comfort food: creamy, savory, and deeply grounding — without the heaviness or post-meal crash.

This is weekday wellness meets cozy kitchen witch energy.
Simple ingredients, one pan, and a garlic cream sauce that’s smooth enough to feel luxurious but light enough to keep you glowing.

💪 Why This Skillet Works for Real Women

🐃 Bison
Lean, iron-rich, and wild — the ultimate grounding protein. It supports energy, muscle recovery, and hormone balance, all while tasting next-level delicious.
Fun fact: Bison has more omega-3s and less fat than beef — strength food with a soft edge.

🥦 Broccoli
Detox support in crunchy, green form. Broccoli is rich in sulforaphane — a compound that helps your liver clear out stress hormones and toxins.
Translation? Less burnout, more balance.

🎃 Squash
Sweet, earthy, and full of beta carotene — your go-to nutrient for glowing skin and adrenal support.
In herbalism, squash is seen as a “rooting” food — it brings your energy back to center when life feels scattered.

🧄 Garlic + Coconut Aminos
Your magic flavor combo. Garlic boosts immunity and circulation, while coconut aminos add umami without the bloat.
Together, they create that craveable, cozy kitchen aroma that instantly calms your nervous system.
