A root cause approach to holistic gut healing
This is one of my favorite recipes ever! Caramelized onions add such a delicious flavor and the combination is so so good! I discovered it when I was just beginning my health journey and making major diet changes. I fell in love with this recipe! Serve as a side or over rice. It is wonderful for your digestion and immunity!
Recipe update: Mushrooms added to this dish are delicious, not to mention extra health benefits 😉
Most people are a fan of BLT’s. Juicy red tomatoes, crispy lettuce, sizzling bacon = YUM! It is equally as good in a salad and gives you an option to enjoy a BLT without the bread.
These banana muffins are moist, delicious and high in protein. It uses coconut flour which usually requires more eggs. If you are looking for a gluten free option, give these banana muffins a try! Added nuts on top really make these muffins a winner!

I love to travel. Â My husband’s family lives 15 hours away and we usually make at least 1 trip a year back there. Â In the car. Which makes for a long day of sitting. By the time we get there, it feels like I am really tired (which seems odd considering I can sleep literally the whole way there) and my belly isn’t usually feeling the best.
I always make sure to pack healthy snacks and a few other essentials along for the ride! Posted below is what I took with me on a recent trip.

Fresh Cut Vegetables:Â Always a good option. You can make guacamole to dip them in or if your body can handle dairy, get some organic sour cream and add in spices (onion, garlic, parsley, dill, pink salt) to make your own dip!
Homemade Trail Mix:Â Recipe Here
Larabars:
Dark Chocolate:Â One of my favorites.
Water: lots and lots! 🙂 Fill up a (stainless steel or glass) bottle and bring an extra gallon to fill it up with later!

Last but not least is my DigestZen oil from doTERRA. My stomach usually feels a little bloated after a long day in the car and this oil offers some relief.

This is one of my absolute favorite dishes! It is great for a summertime meal (or anytime really)! Â The combination of the protein with healthy fats make it a balanced meal! Serve over gluten free nut crackers or in brown rice tortillas! I don’t have exact measurements of the ingredients, as this is a “dump together to whatever consistency that I want” type of dish!
Inspired by an online recipe.
I made this chocolate mousse dessert for a client dinner and it was a huge success! My first bite I thought..hmm do I like this? But after it was refrigerated for an hour longer, I was a fan! It is not very sweet so you could add more sweetener if desired. This is great dish for those with food allergies as it is dairy, gluten, nut & egg free. Â Give it a try & see what you think!
I tripled the recipe and it was enough for 6 large servings.

Guacamole is one of my favorite snacks ever! I like to eat it plain, with organic blue corn chips, or really add it to most anything! This particular recipe calls for tomatoes but you can definitely leave them out if tomatoes aren’t your thing.
Trail Mix is awesome! There are many different options that you can combine to your liking! The problem with store bought is the inflammatory oils and extra sugar that comes along with it as well as traces of wheat and soy. The good news? It is very easy to make your own at home.
This recipe is very versatile!  Doesn’t matter what kind of nuts/seeds/etc. Experiment and find something you absolutely love! There are lots of varieties to try! I do recommend to buy raw or sprouted nuts and do your own roasting if you want roasted nuts. If you choose to add dried fruit, check your labels to avoid fruit with sugar added.  For a sweet chocolate fix, add some delicious chocolate chips/chunks.  Happy Mixin’!
Soft, chewy, peanut butter oatmeal cookies…need I say more?
Not only do they taste amazing but they are gluten free and have ground flax seed in them which boosts the fiber content! And for those with digestive concerns, these are a perfect treat! ( I might have had 2 for breakfast the next day)
Remember to check the ingredient list on your peanut butter. It should only contain peanuts and maybe some salt! You can also use a different kind of nut butter if you prefer.
This stove top dish is easy to make, incorporates veggies and is a great way to use leftover cooked rice!
