This cake is delicious served with sliced fresh organic strawberries and freshly whipped coconut cream (or whipped organic heavy cream if you tolerate dairy). You can also bake this cake in two 9-inch round cake pans and create a layered cake if desired. If you plan on serving the cake with breakfast or brunch then make it the night before. The texture of this cake actually improves the next day! If a 9x13-inch cake is too much for you then you can easily cut this recipe in half and bake it in an 8x8-inch pan. This cake recipe does better when baked in a glass pan.
Serve this easy-to-make dinner with baked sweet potatoes or gluten-free tortillas and your favorite fillings! The shredded, slow-cooked beef is even better on the second day so feel free to make a double batch so you can have enough for the week. It also freezes well. I like to serve the stuffed sweet potatoes with my spicy lacto-fermented carrots and jalapeños. This not only adds a lot of flavor, but beneficial bacteria, enzymes, and fibers for healthy digestion!

I like a to make a few batches of this gluten-free and xanthan gum-free bagel recipe at a time so that some can go into the freezer. My children love to make sandwiches out of them....such as turkey-lettuce-mustard-raw cheese for their school lunches, or a fried egg and avocado sandwich for breakfast! Once the bagels are baked and completely cool you can slice them in half and freeze for later use. To reheat, simply toast your frozen bagel halves in the oven or a toaster.
This broth makes a delicious chicken noodle soup like pictured above. You can get very creative with what you add to your broth. Think of foods that naturally complement turmeric: Chicken, fish, lentils, chickpeas, brown rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes, kale, spinach, carrots, zucchini, lemon, green onions, cilantro, and parsley! Look for fresh turmeric in the produce section of your local health food store. It's usually found near the fresh ginger. Leave the skins on your fresh turmeric and ginger for this recipe....no need to peel them!
Use this easy method of making soup using just about any ingredients! Just simmer some broth, add some vegetables and herbs, cook until tender, then puree. The key is a very flavorful homemade bone broth. I love having soups like this for breakfast, especially on a cold winter morning.
These gluten-free thumbprint cookies are slightly sweetened with pure maple sugar and they're full of lemony flavors! Any variety of fruit-sweetened jam can be used to fill the thumbprints. Try blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, cherry, or apricot jam!
Serve this beautiful goat cheese and dill roasted salmon as part of a holiday dinner or with steamed green beans, roasted winter squash, and an arugula salad for a balanced weeknight meal! Sockeye or Coho salmon work best in this recipe.
This recipe is designed for your slow cooker and takes just minutes to prepare! You can put it together in the morning then set your slow cooker to low and you will have a meal ready when you get home from work. Use Plantain Tortillas, Homemade Brown Rice Tortillas, or fresh collard greens for your taco shells. I initially created this recipe using pure, unsweetened pomegranate juice, but now prefer to use unsweetened 100% tart cherry juice.
You can make this cranberry sauce a few days ahead of time and store it in a covered glass container in your refrigerator. Add more dates for a sweeter flavor, and less for a tarter cranberry sauce. If you don't own a high-powered blender you can soak the dates in the orange juice for an hour or so before blending everything together. Cranberries are one of the most concentrated sources of ellagic acid—a potent antioxidant and anti-cancer compound!
The 12 Gifts of Health are the steps that anyone can take to improve their health, promote resolution of a health condition, and increase longevity. True change comes from taking the necessary steps through a sustainable and mindful process that deepens the connection you have to yourself. By letting go of what isn't working for you, you learn more about what does work well for you. This is the space that allows for true transformation to take place.
Health transformations take time. Restoring nourishment is a two-fold process. It's about letting go of what isn't in alignment with your highest self, while also adding in the consistent nourishing practices that will bring about real change. This could look like letting go of a particular lifestyle habit or food that is continuing to create health issues for you. It could be letting go of an unhealthy relationship that is creating stress and trauma. It could also look like creating a new sleep routine, planning nourishing meals that fit a particular diet, spending more time outside, getting consistent exercise, consuming more protein, and laughing more!
This two-fold process for unlocking your vitality begins with what I like to call a “Remove and Replace” phase. This is the most challenging phase as your brain begins the rewiring process. At some point you'll begin to feel as if you have stepped into a new paradigm of your life. Habits that used to control you, no longer do. The stage that follows is what I like to call the "Nourish and Restore" phase. At this point, your body isn't in a stress or inflammation overdrive state anymore and you can begin to rebuild your cells, your gut, your body, and your mind in a new way.
Set the intention on who you want to be and what that feels like. Imagine every day how you want to feel. Light? Energetic? Clear thinking with sharp focus? Calm gut? Resolution of a specific health condition? Then, take daily actions to get there, such as a specific dietary and supplement protocol.
You may not feel the change right away, but, over time, with new, daily actions, change begins to become realized. Since food is something that the cells in your body interact with every day, what you eat is a foundational pillar to who you are, how you feel, and who you want to become.
Sustainable dietary change happens one step at a time, with one nourishing meal at a time.
Each day is a day to nourish yourself. Start with real food. Cook from scratch. Build a foundation and a habit of cooking with whole food ingredients.
New habits build up over time, and one day you’ll look back and see how far you’ve come. You won’t crave what once caused you illness, you’ll crave what brings you wellness.
"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." ~Lao Tzu
To transform your health and unlock your vitality, the first and most foundational step in this process is to remove highly processed foods. Healing cannot take place if one is consuming highly processed and packaged foods on a daily basis. Research indicates that over 80% of chronic disease is preventable through simple dietary changes, moderate exercise, maintenance of a healthy weight, and tobacco cessation. This may seem so simple, however, currently in the United States, more than 50% of all calories consumed are coming from ultra-processed foods! Processed foods turn on inflammatory genes that can create the perfect environment for disease to manifest. Highly processed foods generally contain fat and sugar or refined carbohydrates in high amounts, combined with flavor enhancers to make them incredibly addictive. This is why the re-wiring process can take time. Start with a whole foods diet and a balanced breakfast full of protein, fiber, and healthy fats to begin your dietary transformation.
The second foundational step to transforming your health and your life is to consume a whole foods diet. This is a diet based on real, unprocessed foods. The more you clear away what is unhealthy or contributing to your chronic nagging symptoms, and the more you add in whole, nutrient-dense foods, the more shifts you will see in your health over time. If you are interested in naturally regulating your blood sugar, stimulating your anti-aging genes to increase lifespan, reducing all-cause disease risk, increasing your energy levels, improving your sleep quality, reducing inflammation, increasing your capacity for natural detoxification, and feeling alive and able to live your life's purpose, then this all starts with consuming a wide variety of whole foods daily and cooking most of your meals at home. Try a Clean Eating Diet, Mediterranean Diet, or IFM Core Food Plan.
The third foundational step in the "Remove and Replace" phase of healing is to remove the foods that your body has launched an immune response against. The immune reaction to a virus or bacteria is the same response the body uses when reacting to a food. This is called a food hypersensitivity. A food or food group that may be healthy and anti-inflammatory for one person could be the source of a lot of damaging inflammatory chemicals for another person. These cytokines travel throughout the body creating brain fog, depression, blood sugar imbalances, chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, joint pain, skin issues, autoimmune conditions, and more. If you are eating a food or food group that your immune system is reacting to on a daily basis, then these inflammatory immune chemicals will constantly be present in larger amounts and it will be nearly impossible to heal. Try a Basic Elimination Diet, Full Elimination Diet, or Anti-Inflammatory Diet.
The fourth foundational step in the "Remove and Replace" phase of healing is so simple! It is to replace all of the food groups you have removed from your diet with "free" versions. This doesn't mean that by going gluten-free you go out and buy a ton of processed gluten-free foods! This is why the first two steps in this process are to remove highly processed foods and replace them with whole foods. Once you are on a whole foods diet, eating gluten-free, or corn-free, or dairy-free is much easier to sustain in a way that gives your body the nutrients it needs. Consuming clean, delicious, nutrient-dense recipes daily that are free of the foods your immune system is reacting to will tremendously elevate your energy levels and your quality of life!

Begin by removing all refined sugars from your diet. Sugar depletes nutrients like magnesium and B vitamins, and contributes to blood sugar imbalances and gut dysbiosis. Next, remove alcohol or greatly reduce consumption. Alcohol damages the gut lining, leading to intestinal permeability and gut dysbiosis, and inhibits the intestinal absorption or depletes key nutrients needed to make energy, detoxify, and run other biochemical processes in the body. Remove pesticides and herbicides. Pesticides and herbicides can disrupt gut function leading to increased permeability, dysbiosis, and gut inflammation. Pesticides and herbicides also greatly disrupt mitochondrial function and can increase oxidative stress. Lastly, remove plastic packaging and storage containers. BPA, a chemical found in plastics, can impair mitochondrial function. Use glass storage containers, stainless steel water bottles, and consume more fresh foods to reduce BPA exposure.
Hydrate with purified water! City water can contain numerous pesticide and herbicide residues, chlorine, and other pollutants. Be sure you are drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day to help your body clear out waste. Add in detoxification-supportive raw cruciferous veggies. Broccoli, kohlrabi, cabbage, kale, radishes, arugula, and brussels sprouts are all rich in a compound called sulforaphane. Sulforaphane gets absorbed into the bloodstream and activates detoxification and antioxidant genes, which regulates oxidative stress and detoxification processes in the body. Add in brightly colored plant foods to support detoxification pathways. Sweat! Sweating helps to detoxify compounds like BPA (from plastics). Get in a sauna, hot bath with epsom salts, or take a run with a few extra layers on! Take a magnesium supplement. Magnesium is needed as a co-factor in so many biochemical processes in the body, including your detoxification pathways! Try a Detoxification Diet to add more supportive nutrients and recipes!
The 7th step in this healing journey, and first step of the "Nourish and Restore" phase, is about building a stronger gut! Your gut is the seat of health. When the gut is out of balance, it has numerous downstream effects on all systems in the body. This phase of healing is all about nourishing your gut with probiotics through fermented foods and supplements, and prebiotics through diet and supplements. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria found in fermented foods and supplements. Prebiotics are the foods that feed the beneficial bacteria. You need both to create a diverse and thriving gut microbiome! Beneficial bacteria in the gut can be reduced in number by environmental pollutants, too much alcohol, highly processed foods, and a diet high in refined sugars—all things that should have been removed in the "Remove and Replace" phase. That's why it is important to focus on all six steps in the previous phase first.
The 8th step in this healing journey is about nourishing your body with missing nutrients! A healthy gut is needed to be able to properly absorb nutrients from your food and supplements. Nutrient testing may be of benefit to you so you can understand where potential nutritional deficiencies may be, and what supplements and foods you need to get more of. Without adequate vitamins and minerals, your body cannot make enough ATP and run all of the biochemical processes in your body. ATP is the energy currency of your cells and is made from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. It requires numerous vitamins and minerals to produce, including B vitamins, iron, calcium, and copper. Most people can benefit from taking a high-quality B complex vitamin, chelated magnesium supplement, as well as vitamins D, C, and E on a daily or occasional basis. As you consume more and more nutrient-dense whole foods and add in high-quality supplements, you will begin to restore nourishment and bring your body into a state of balance.
The 9th step in this healing journey is about nourishing your body with high-quality protein and amino acid supplements. A healthy gut is needed to be able to properly absorb nutrients from your food and supplements. You need to be able to absorb your vitamins and minerals in order to run all of the reactions in your body, including making ATP. Without enough ATP, stomach acid production is often reduced. If you are not consuming enough protein, or not able to break it down into the amino acids and peptides your body can use, then you may become deficient in certain amino acids. Amino acids are used to run detoxification reactions, remove waste, build muscle, make enzymes, rebuild cells, build immune cells, make ATP, create neurotransmitters, and more! Therefore, adequate protein intake and the ability to break it down is a key step in healing.
The 10th step in this healing journey, and fourth step of the "Nourish and Restore" phase, is about dropping into deep restorative sleep each night. Nightly deep sleep is one of the most healing and anti-inflammatory practices you can do, however, the ability to sleep deeply can be affected by numerous factors, which is why it is one of the last steps in this 12-step process of healing. In order to sleep deeply at night, you need to have low cortisol levels in the evening and at night in order for melatonin to rise at the appropriate time. An inflammatory diet of highly processed foods and sugar, consuming foods your body is launching an immune response to, poor gut health, lack of key nutrients needed for sleep, low blood sugar, and blue light exposure in the evening can all keep you from dropping into nightly deep, restorative sleep.
The 11th step in this healing journey is all about balancing cortisol levels. Imbalanced cortisol levels can lead to other hormonal imbalances with estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, thyroid hormones, and insulin. Restoring normal cortisol levels is the 11th step in this healing journey because an inflammatory diet, food sensitivities, poor gut health, and lack of sleep can keep you in "survival mode" so it is important to tackle all of these components to healing first. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. It's a messenger that tells the body how to function. Cortisol is naturally highest beginning early in the morning, from around 6am to 8am. Then it slowly decreases throughout the day, getting to its lowest point around midnight. Acute stress, chronic stress, ongoing psychological trauma, chronic infections, heavy metal toxicity, an inflammatory diet, lack of antioxidants, food sensitivities, excessive caffeine intake, and lack of nutrients can all affect cortisol levels, as well as many other factors. Learn more about reducing high cortisol levels here.
Having support on your healing journey from loving relationships with others can help to calm your nervous system and drop into a state that allows for deep healing to take place. If you are in an unhealthy relationship, it doesn't matter how much you focus on dietary change, the stress from a toxic relationship can completely erode your health. Removing unhealthy relationships from your life and focusing on yourself can bring about profound transformations and healing! The most important relationship you'll ever have is that with yourself. Restoring nourishment is about letting go of what isn't in alignment with your highest self, while also adding in the consistent nourishing practices that will bring about real change. Every time you let go of what isn't serving you anymore, you give yourself the self-love and validation that you are worthy of change. With each new action, you build momentum on a new trajectory of your life. Real, consistent change takes practice.
Serve this salad as a whole meal! If you can't tolerate legumes then replace them with some cooked chicken or turkey, or just leave them out. I like to keep grated veggies in separate containers in the fridge to make putting together nutrient-dense salads really simple and quick. You can also use your food processor fitted with the grating disk to quickly grate a lot of veggies! Set all of the ingredients out onto your counter and let everyone make their own salads.
The dough for these cookies can be made ahead of time and stored in your refrigerator for up to a week (stored in an airtight container)! You can take a little out at a time and bake what you need if you would like. I use sprouted garbanzo bean flour from To Your Health Sprouted Flour Co. but you can use regular garbanzo bean flour that can usually be found at any health food store and many grocery stores. I find the flavor and digestibility much better in the sprouted version.
This recipe makes enough to frost one dozen cupcakes or a 9-inch cake (double the recipe for a layer cake). Use white-fleshed sweet potatoes for a white frosting (that can also be colored with natural food dye).
Make this easy-to-prepare meal on a busy weeknight. Then, while it is baking, prepare a quick green salad or prep some green vegetables for steaming or braising. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand then replace them with dried. I like to use my Homemade Herbed Sea Salt or Herbamare to season the chicken. This Herb Zipper quickly pulls fresh herb leaves from their stems...a very handy little kitchen gadget!
This recipe can either be made into one loaf or a dozen rolls. Serve rolls with honey and butter (or coconut butter for a dairy-free option). Be sure to use freshly ground raw buckwheat flour in this recipe (see the tip below)!
A creamy, harissa-spiced dressing made from soaked raw walnuts is tossed with shaved raw brussels sprouts, pomegranate, dates, and apples to create a flavor-packed anti-inflammatory winter salad perfect for the holidays! Use a food processor fitted with the slicing disc to quickly shave the brussels sprouts in minutes!
Raw pistachios, cardamom, vanilla, and olive oil create a luscious nut filling for these dark chocolate cups. Top them with crushed dried rose petals and a high-quality flaked sea salt for a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory dessert or treat!
This anti-inflammatory ginger-turmeric lentil soup is so easy to make and full of flavor! Use a high-quality homemade vegetable stock or chicken stock for best results. Serve soup with a scoop of brown rice for a nourishing, balanced meal.
Though the ingredient list may look long, this salad is very easy to make and comes together fairly quickly once you have all of the vegetables chopped! Fresh basil and mint can be added to the salad for even more Thai flavors! Serve salad for a potluck gathering with friends or meal prep a batch on the weekend to use for lunches throughout the week.
Serve this low-histamine, gluten-free cake as part of your next holiday celebration! Since it is not very sweet, it can be served as part of a holiday breakfast or brunch as well as an after-dinner treat with a cup of herbal tea. If you would prefer a sweeter cake, simply add several tablespoons of maple sugar to the wet ingredients!
When you don't have much time to prepare dinner, make fried rice! Any type of leftover cooked rice can be used in this recipe such as black rice, long grain brown rice, or white jasmine rice! Ground chicken or pork can replace the ground turkey as well! Several whisked eggs can be added to the fried rice for added protein if desired.
One of the best ways to balance your blood sugar and reduce cravings for sugar and high-carb foods throughout the day is to consume a breakfast full of protein, healthy fats, and fiber. This quick and easy breakfast will leave you feeling satisfied and energized for hours! Each serving contains approximately 25 grams of protein and 13 grams of fiber! For added protein, simply add an extra egg to each plate. Each egg contains about 6 grams of protein.
If you could make one dietary change to set yourself onto a new trajectory of health, it would be to consume a nutrient dense breakfast consisting of high-quality protein, fiber, and healthy fats. A nutrient-dense, high-protein and fiber-rich breakfast will help you curb cravings for foods you are working to stay away from, boost your metabolism, balance your blood sugar, help regulate your circadian rhythms, keep your mind sharp during the day, and increase satiety.

In between nursing the babies, changing diapers, reading stories to the girls, and building block towers with the babies I still need to make a meal, right? Or shall I say three meals a day, every day.
People often ask me how many hours a day I spend in the kitchen. Well it is not as many as you may imagine. I find ways to cut corners, use what we have, and stretch the ingredients I have on hand. I have four children now and life is not as simple as it was with one or two in tow.

Spring is here, hurray! Spring is a time of change, a time to detox, and a time for greens. How fitting that after a long season of warming dense foods one of the only fresh things available at this time (if we just reverted back to the pre-industrial era) are bitter greens.

Your body is composed of over 30 trillion cells, each of which is continually listening and responding to environmental signals. Your cells have antennas embedded in their cellular membranes. This is how your cells listen, relay messages to your DNA, and respond to your environment by activating biochemical processes. The food you eat carries information, which the antennas sense, and then tell your cells how to behave. You either turn on your anti-aging, disease-prevention, and anti-inflammatory pathways or you turn on your inflammatory, aging, and disease pathways with every bite of food.

I created this soup today for lunch basically out of a craving for something healing and nourishing, while being warming and spicy all at the same time.

Well, we have been very busy lately. Hence the two-week gap in posting to the blog. Tom has been working for months now round the clock on a research paper entitled "Nutritional Deficiencies in Celiac Disease, is Supplementation Necessary?" He is just about done with it, and I am looking forward to reading it! I will let you know when it is published and provide a link to it.

When I was younger my parents made a well-rounded breakfast nearly every morning. Back then this consisted of scrambled eggs, toast, and fruit, or pancakes, sausages, and fresh fruit. French toast with maple syrup was a regular favorite too. Maybe even waffles made in a Mickey Mouse waffle iron. Remember those? Of course some mornings we were all running late and had cold breakfast cereal with milk but I don't remember those mornings so much.

Nori rolls are an all-time favorite in our family. They were a staple food through all of my pregnancies, I could even handle them during the 17 weeks of extreme nausea I experienced while pregnant with my twins!
Whenever our family goes out for a hike, a day at the beach, up to the mountain to play in the snow, or on an airplane trip, these rolls are sure to go too. They are the ultimate in healthy snack foods.

Living in the Pacific Northwest we are blessed with a bounty of fresh, wild salmon, some of which comes from the pacific coast and some from Alaska. My cooking creativity is sparked just by looking at the plump and glossy, pink-hued fillets.
