A root cause approach to holistic gut healing
I was on the hunt for a brownie. One that was extra chocolaty (is that a word?), free of refined sugar & flour and one that did not use black beans. As much as I do love a good black bean brownie, I honestly didn’t want to have to mess with the blender! Inspired by this online recipe, I made a couple upgrades and was so happy with the results that I’m sharing it with you.
I really like to make this salsa during the winter months or when tomatoes are not in season. By using canned tomatoes & adding the fresh ingredients, it creates a delicious “fresh” flavor.
I use my home canned tomatoes (tomatoes & salt) but you can pick some up from the grocery. You can adjust the amounts of tomato & cilantro to your liking.
(TIP: canning whole tomatoes is very easy. I just stuff the jars as full as I can, add 1/2-1 tsp pink salt and can.)
Have you heard of or used ghee? Used for many many years in Indian cooking and Ayurvedic practices, ghee is an amazing healthy fat that deserves a place in our diet. Similar to butter, ghee technically is butter that has been heated to remove the milk solids and simmered to enhance it’s natural buttery flavor. This process is why people who are allergic to dairy can usually handle ghee.
There is nothing quite as refreshing as a bowl of fresh fruit! This delightful combination leaves your taste buds happy and you tummy wanting more!
The key is to use all FRESH fruit. Be sure wash it first (get my produce wash recipe here), chop it into a big bowl, snitch a few pieces and smile at all the BEAUTIFUL colors!
Fruit is something we should all be consuming in our diet on a regular basis! There are so many options to choose from and each one has unique nutritional contents that nourish our bodies.

This recipe is easy, delicious and very good for your body! Wild-caught salmon is one of the most nutritious foods on the planet!
When buying salmon, look for Alaskan WILD CAUGHT. While farm raised salmon is fattier than wild caught, most of the time it can be full of poor quality omega 6 fatty acids instead of powerful anti-inflammatory omega 3’s.
Cranberry sauce was a new adventure for me. I was very excited to try it and quite pleased how it turned out! Throwing all the ingredients in the pan and turning the heat up, I was delighted to hear the sound of those berries popping! Most cranberry sauce recipes call for a large amount of sugar so I was pleased to find you can cut the content by over half! It does make more of a tart sauce, but it will go perfect with your turkey 😉
This soup is hearty, delicious and so good for you! It is a favorite on chilly fall days and through the cold winter months!
Due to the high anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric, this tea is wonderful for fighting excess inflammation in the body. To learn more about the many health benefits of this wonderful spice check out this article. I like to recommend this tea to anyone dealing with back & joint pain, low immunity and rheumatoid arthritis.
You can drink this tea hot or chilled with ice. Make a big batch and drink daily. It will keep in the fridge for a week.
