I don’t know about you, but one of our challenges around here is getting our son off to school in the morning with a healthy, non processed breakfast without having to wake up an hour ahead of time to do so. 6:30 is plenty early as far as I’m concerned, and should be enough time […]

Looking for some quick and easy ways to incorporate more superfoods into your diet? When I started my healing path, I took a good look at what I was eating, and how I could make some small changes (along with the big ones) to add more superfoods to my daily diet. I quickly realized that […]

Maple-Orange Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Pecans

Gone are the days of the bland Brussel Sprouts from our Grandma’s dinner tables; these sprouts are delicious and add a sweet and salty flair to the sprouts of the past. In fact, with a hint of maple syrup and a touch of pecans, these little guys are sure to please dinner guests of all […]

gluten free french toast

I love Sunday brunch; something about getting together with friends and family over a delicious breakfast filled with more exotic breakfast items than the standard egg dish is so appealing to me.  I love the excitement of tasting dishes that are not something I eat most mornings, and the old me especially loved french toast […]

In this hilarious “New Rules” segment Bill Maher takes on GMOs and the food supply. This is a must watch video for anyone who cares about our food supply. Or who’s concerned about why we’re eating horse meat. Or why our fish supply is riddled with mercury and other chemicals.  Or who just appreciates a […]

mila kunis

Mila Kunis is having a baby, and she’s got some serious fermented food cravings. Pickles and sauerkraut are at the top of her list, though she says she’s also indulging in some of the other typical cravings like ice cream. And she plans to give birth naturally, without an epidural. Just another reason we love her […]

Fed Up movie

‘The conventional wisdom about food and exercise over the past thirty years has been dead wrong.’ If you’re at all concerned with the rising rates of childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes and if the fact that we’re the first generation predicted to live shorter life spans than our parents, this is a movie you can’t […]

4th Trimester book

The other day we caught word of a photo journalism effort called 4th Trimester Bodies Project that celebrates the beauty of a woman’s body after becoming a mom. This made me stop and think about the constant efforts we put into looking good – the ever annoying 10 pounds we want to lose, counting calories, […]

candida

Ok, so as if “gluten” isn’t an annoying enough word that has invaded my daily vocabulary, I also have to claim this one: Hashimoto’s Disease.  My dumb luck, I have an auto immune condition that my friends can’t quite remember and almost always ask me about the “kawasaki” disease. Like the motorcycle. Hashimoto’s disease, also called chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis or […]

I prepped these tips for an event at our son’s elementary school. It’s the brain-child of a good friend of ours, and I’m excited to be a part of it. The concept it simple: get kids and families thinking about how to live a healthy life. It starts with you, and ends with the community. […]

paleo sauces

Whether you’re new to a low sugar, gluten-free or Paleo diet or been at it for a while, figuring out how to spice up your dishes can be a daunting task. Sometimes we get bored or lazy when prepping food, or we simply just forget about those we loved. So to keep it all in […]
