A note on January dieting
It happens every new year in the health and wellness space… the words “get healthy” are co-opted to mean extreme restriction and ways to “make up” for the holidays. It can be difficult not to get pulled in. Let’s take a look: Cleanses The best way you can “cleanse” your body isn’t by drinking juice…
Let’s talk lunch.
I’ve heard from many that working from home actually makes lunch planning more challenging when there isn’t a defined lunch hour and moment to have a meal. Some days, lunch turns out to be packaged odds and ends we graze on throughout the day. Some days, that’s the best we can do. But with some…
Nutrient-Dense Burger Buns
There are soo many options for GF burger buns (and for the patty itself, even if you are 100% plant-based). Of course, there’s the lettuce wrap route, which can be crunchy and refreshing but tbh doesn’t always hit the spot. If you want something with more “oomph,” I’d highly recommend grilled/roasted Portobello mushrooms and butternut…
Lion’s Mane Matcha Popsicles
I LOVE matcha in all things: lattes, smoothies, baked goods… But the obvious correct decision this week was popsicles. Because summer. Matcha is made from powdering green tea leaves, so it’s more concentrated than steeping the same amount of green tea. That means it also concentrates the benefits of green tea, such as the polyphenols…
Super Sesame Blueberry Crisp
Warning: This recipe is for sesame lovers! Personally, I love all things sesame and I also like going bold with flavors, so this recipe definitely BRINGS IT. This gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free crisp has a triple threat of tahini, toasted sesame oil, and sesame seeds, and it is incredibly delicious over the blueberry…
Carrot Top Chimichurri
If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you know I’ve been volunteering at a local farm in exchange for a CSA box. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and it’s a program where you sign up to receive a weekly share of seasonal produce directly from a farm. They’re a way to connect more closely…
Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies
I’ve made these three times in the past two weeks…They’re that good! They are almost all the “free’s” – dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, refined sugar-free (besides the chocolate chips…), grain-free, and of course gluten-free. They get their fudgy texture from white beans, which I’m finding I LOVE in baked treats because they are smooth, creamy, and…
Healthy Butternut Squash Muffins
It is very common for celiacs to have other food sensitivities, largely due to leaky gut, which exists before diagnosis and often even after. Recently, I’ve been seeing several clients with egg sensitivities (and have come to terms with my own issues around egg proteins), which has inspired me to create more egg-free recipes. I…
Frozen Chocolate Banana Pops
With the warm, beautiful Spring we’ve been having here, I needed to make something FUN that reminds me of summer. I decided on these frozen chocolate banana pops, which are super easy, require minimal ingredients, and keep as a sweet treat in your freezer whenever you need them. And while I love eating them, I…
