How is it that food has such a profound effect on health and happiness? Nourishing whole foods contain nutrients that build neurotransmitters, promote detoxification, and feed beneficial microbes. Nourishing foods have thousands of chemicals that stimulate healthy gene expression. We rely on foods to build, repair, and replenish every single cell of our bodies. If we want to change who we are, we need to change what we eat. Today is the perfect day to upgrade your diet.

Clean Eating Diet
A Clean Eating diet is simply a well-rounded whole foods diet. Instead of eating out of a box or a can, fresh whole foods are prioritized for all meals. All meats, dairy, eggs, vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, healthy fats, and natural sweeteners are included. If you want to eat better and don't know where to begin, try a Clean Eating diet. This foundational diet will help you learn how to cook with whole foods while improving your health.
Mediterranean Diet
The Mediterranean Diet is a way of eating that focuses on fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, legumes, raw nuts and seeds, and antioxidant-rich extra virgin olive oil. When animal protein is consumed, the focus should be on omega-3-rich fish and seafood. The Mediterranean diet is beneficial for anyone wanting to improve cardiovascular health, prevent or manage type 2 diabetes, improve metabolic health, reduce inflammation, and improve gut health.
Anti-Inflammatory Diet
The Anti-Inflammatory diet is an easy-to-follow elimination diet that has three primary components: eliminating highly processed foods, controlling blood sugar, and removing the most common food irritants. This diet removes the foods that the majority of people react to when inflammation is chronically present in the body. These foods include gluten, dairy, corn, soy, pork, alcohol, sugar, and processed foods. An anti-inflammatory diet is best done for a minimum of three to six months in order to see results.
Grain-Free Diet
Although whole grains can provide immense health benefits for many individuals, for others, grains can exacerbate autoimmune conditions and gut permeability. A grain-free diet eliminates all whole grains and grain flours. Nut flours and other grain-free flours are used in baking to replace grain flours, which are often combined with natural sweeteners instead of refined sugars. A grain-free diet is relatively easy to follow as long as you are accustomed to cooking with whole foods.

Change Begins with You: How to Restore Health
Yesterday evening I taught another live cooking class on the anti-inflammatory diet. It is always wonderful to connect with so many people in person and share information and recipes to help others shift into a new level of health and well-being. But how does one actually shift into a new level of health and well-being? It starts with a single step towards restoring health. Every time you take a new step towards your future self and resolution of your health condition, you are in the process of restoring your inherent well-being.
Gluten-Free Chicken and Dumplings
Chicken soup with dumplings is a classic meal that has its origins in Germany. Growing up, my mother would make large pots of chicken soup with dumplings all winter long, using the lengthy process of slow-cooking a whole chicken to make a nourishing broth, and then removing the meat for the soup and adding spoonfuls of the dumpling dough to the simmering broth. I still remember standing at the stove, watching the dough puff up as it cooked in the broth!
Grain-Free Peach Galette
It's peach season! Yellow peaches, white peaches, and nectarines are all in abundance right now. What better way to use them than in a galette? Galettes are rustic, free-form single-crust pastries with either a sweet or savory filling. They are much easier to make than pies, which require a bit more precision. This gluten-free and grain-free galette uses a slightly sweetened version of my wildly popular flakey grain-free pie crust recipe and is filled with fresh peaches that have been tossed in a small amount of maple sugar and ground nutmeg.
Easy Sheet Pan Salmon with Garden Vegetables
Looking for an easy, nutrient-dense meal you can make at the end of a long day? This simple sheet pan meal uses garden vegetables and wild salmon, and it can be prepped and cooked in under 30 minutes! Salmon is a rich source of a carotenoid called astaxanthin. This potent compound is also found in crab, shrimp, lobster, krill, and salmon eggs (roe), however, wild salmon contains the highest concentration of this potent anti-inflammatory compound.
