What To Eat
With all the overwhelming and confusing information out there about nutrition, I completely get why Mom’s throw their hands up and say, “screw it, I give up!”. But I can help you reset and banish a ton of symptoms you have, along with giving you back your energy, by teaching you some basics!
Homemade Broth
There is nothing more delicious, more warming, and more mineral and vitamin dense than homemade broth. The best part is it is so easy to make.
Spiced Cashew Butter
This butter is so incredible. Cashews are a great source of protein and potassium, but also high in fat. So, eat this butter in moderation, but still enjoy as an amazing fuel source. I top my rice cakes with it, or dip sliced up apples in it.
Energy Balls
Yummy little pop in your mouth snack bites, filled with vitamins and minerals.
Sausage And Potato Soup
This is a new addition to our kitchen…even Ethan loves it. Filled with veggies and herbs to soothe all the way down to your belly.
Breakfast Monster Cookies
These are so good, freeze great, and make those mornings rushing out the door so much easier!
Slow Cooker Refried Beans
Buying canned refried beans is easy. But, making them at home is just as easy. Homemade means no toxicity from a can, and you control the quality of the ingredients going into your food!
Egg Cups for Breakfast
Looking for a nutritious breakfast option that's easy to prep ahead? These versatile egg cups are a game-changer! Packed with protein and customizable with your favorite add-ins, they're perfect for busy mornings or a quick snack.
Kale Chips (Sweet or Savory)
Craving a salty and crunchy snack? Or maybe sweet and crunchy? These Kale Chips are so adaptable and super easy to make.
Maple Apple Cinnamon Donuts
I know. You’re probably thinking, “Seriously?! Donuts?! No way these can be good for you!” I didn’t say they are good for you…but once in a while it’s ok to divulge in the sweetness of life. And, if you can make it healthier than the store bought stuff…why not?!!! DIG IN!!!
GF Lemon Cookies
These are so soft and they melt in your mouth. My kids and I tend to have a problem when I bake these. They tend to only last until the end of the day! Which is ok by me!
Rick's Sweet Potatoes
Seriously amazing and very filling sweet potatoes…these are very much a regular in the fridge for Rick. The roasting of the sweet potatoes pulls out the sweet caramelization, and the garlic and Italian herbs give it the savory edge. The icing on this bad boy side, is the salty parmesan bite!!! So versatile and delicious, you can use this as a side, throw it on a salad, or even in a rice bowl if you need to REALLY fill up!!
Potato Soup
My favorite soup when I need something filling, salty, and just down right comforting! I can’t eat it all the time, but it is an amazing soother when it is chilly outside!!
Chicken Soup
It’s that time of year when colds are spreading and your body aches all over. Give your body and mind a lovely warm bowl of Chicken Soup.
Coconut Breakfast Parfait
Anything I can put in a jar for a few days in the fridge, is my new favorite breakfast or snack food. If I can make it ahead of time, the rest of my week will be gold! These parfaits are so delicious, I would even say you could serve it as a desert! Packed with nutritious ingredients like Chia Seeds and additional berries of your choosing, GOOD fats from coconut milk, it’s hard to turn this down.
Food Prep
As busy families we rush around from point A to point B, then to point C and D. The attempt of eating anything in between is an achievement to celebrate. But, are we eating sustainable food? Are we feeding our kids sustainable food? Fast food chains are convenient, but so are lunch box dinners!! Here are some quick and easy steps to set you up for TRUE celebration all week!
Gut Friendly Parma Chicken
Being Italian, I grew up with breaded meats and chicken. So, when I found out I can’t have gluten or brewer’s yeast, I was bummed. Chicken Parmigiana was my favorite dish growing up. I loved the slightly crisp breading, and the salty bite of the cheese. Lucky for me, and you, we now have hundreds of alternatives to recreate our favorites, without sacrificing flavor and the entire experience of eating our favorite dish.
Avocado Toast
MMMMMM….Avocado Toast! Probably my favorite “condiment” You can truly top any plate with this recipe to add an amazing fresh and citrus flavor.
Mediterranean Quinoa Salad
I love this salad! You can make it into a meal or serve it as a side dish. It also makes a great salad to-go!
