I am an advocate of a healthy diet and how the right food is at the core of good health and the wrong food is the source of most diseases we fight. But sometimes…you get bit by something. And in this most recent case of my dad, quite literally, that knocks you off your healthy balance. Using food…
The word “healthy” is generally not the first thing to jump in your mind when you think about Thanksgiving. Right? But what if I told you a Plant Forward Thanksgiving could still deliver a beautiful plate with the most amazing flavor combinations? And what if I promised it would leave you and your friends and family feeling better…
I am so excited to share this unique Acorn Squash Flatbread recipe with you! As I kid, I loved Summer. As a grown up, there is nothing I crave more than the cooler weather, the changing colors and the slower pace of Fall! It’s the calm before the holiday storm. The air is crisp, the days are short and…
I do think it’s aggressive to title this post: Cancer Fighting Smoothie Recipe. And of course, this smoothie alone won’t cure cancer. But diet plays such an incredible role in the treatment and prevention of so many cancers. I’ve recently had two close friends diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and it’s really…

It’s cheap (fiscally speaking), easy, delicious and packed full of wholesome goodness. Every ingredient does something good for you and is sure to kick off your day on the right foot…
Since we moved to the mountains I have found myself with so much more time on my hands. And I’ve been spending it in the cabin kitchen. When I heard a neighbor wasn’t having a rough go at it, I decided to cook up a little care package. These Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies were the perfect…
Making permanent lifestyle changes, the ones that support better health, can be hard. If it wasn’t, we’d all be perfect already, right? But it can also be done. I’ve seen it happen. Not just in my own life and those close to me, but in clients near and far. With dedication and attention, you…
Don’t ever let the word “simple” imply that whatever I’m about to share is plain or easy. LOL. Some of the most amazing things in life can be simple, yet deliver amazing results. Like the Push-Up, or this Simple Butternut Squash Soup recipe. Things don’t need to be complicated to be…
I love to test new recipes in my cabin kitchen when I have a weekend off from the Clean & Colorful Kitchen. Today is chilly and snowy outside.
