While it is more convenient to buy canned pumpkin, you don’t always get all the fiber and nutrients that you would if you used a whole pumpkin. And since it is October as I write this, whole pumpkins can easily be found. Pumpkin puree can be used in smoothies, tasty treats, and even face treatments. […]
Read More »Cucumbers are in season! If you grow them, you know how abundantly they can grow. If you don’t grow them, head to your local farmer’s market and purchase some to make this tasty soup. Cucumbers aren’t just for salads! Cucumbers are primarily water which is great for hydrating you during warm summer days. The avocados […]
Read More »Soups and stews are a good choice for one pot dishes and can be incredibly easy to make and last for days. You can combine carbs, proteins, and fats all in one dish, and you can eat soups and stews for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I recommend that you make your own stock to use […]
Read More »This recipe makes a nice winter side dish. Butternut is on sale now in my area, so it’s a good time to stock up. Butternut keeps well for quite awhile. You could also serve this puree warm after heating it in some coconut oil. The fat will help you better absorb the nutrients. Butternut is loaded […]

Boneless, Skinless Canned Salmon, drained and broken up 3 C. Broccoli Slaw (buy a bag of organic) 2/3 C. Homemade Dressing of Your […]
Read More »I’m not much of a salad eater and I don’t find lettuce to be particularly nutrient dense, so you don’t often find me eating “traditional” style salads. But when fall comes around and my father-in-law’s mustard greens are coming up in the garden, I like a nice mustard greens salad. I don’t really make the […]
Read More »Spaghetti squash is an underrated food. It is a great low carb alternative to pasta, but with grass-fed butter and salt, it is also a great side dish on its own. Unfortunately, many people don’t know how to cook it. Admittedly it can be hard to get it to the exact consistency you want when […]
Read More »Sardines and artichokes are both pretty darn healthy foods, so why not combine them into a tasty salad?! Sardines are full of good Omega-3 fatty acids and are a good source of protein. Artichokes have fiber and are a pretty decent source of folate. They also have powerful antioxidants and are known to support liver […]
Read More »Pineapple salsa is best when it is made fresh, and it’s great in the summertime when peppers are fresh from the garden. With the pineapple and the bell peppers, this recipe contains a good amount of vitamin C. Pineapple contains bromelain which is an enzyme that can increase digestion. Mint can also be beneficial to digestion […]
Read More »Vinaigrette dressings are easy to make and a much, much better alternative to store bought bottled dressings. This almond vinaigrette dressing is really super easy and adds a little protein and crunch to your salad. INGREDIENTS: 2 Tbsp. Finely Chopped Almonds 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil 1 Tbsp. Coconut Vinegar (or any vinegar other than white) […]
