Smoked Salmon Tostada // Gluten & Dairy Free
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: none
Serves: 4
This recipe is crunchy, creamy and so dang simple. You could make it as an appetizer for a party and throw any veggies on top or have it for lunch as I often do. I know "frying" is thought of as bad for you, but when you control the frying environment and when you cook with a high heat oil, like coconut or avocado oil, you are not getting rancid or oxidized fats which are very inflammatory, which is common for most restaurants.
Raw Pad Thai with Kelp Noodles & Almond Butter Sauce
Prep Time: 25 min
Cook Time: none
Serves: 4
Pad thai is a favorite for many but do you know what is actually in it? Think inflammatory vegetable oils, oxidized peanuts, and some gluten-filled noodles. Sorry to burst your bubbles but that pad thai is usually not the healthiest thing on the menu! So this recipe was created to give that same creaminess but with a healthy twist of course. Perfect for a spring lunch with friends, or a hot summer day. It is gluten and dairy free and feel free to throw in all your favorite seasonal veggies. I love this recipe with grilled chicken or shrimp, but of course, it's up to you if you want added protein.
Superfood Seed Mix
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 3-4 minutes
Serves: about 1 cup
This superfood seed mixture was inspired by my recent travels to Australia where they would throw a bunch of nuts on salads. I would not say Australia is very progressive when it comes to food but we were lucky enough to visit some amazing farm to table restaurants that were very unique. I try to always take some inspo back from my travels and this nut mixture is just that. This mixture is great to add to your meal prep list and should be stored in the fridge with the rest of your nuts and seeds (yes if they are not in your fridge they should be so they do not become rancid). Throw them on your salad or use them as a snack, and feel free to add your own touch to them by using your favorite spices.
Italian Tapenade
This recipe was created as a side dish, dip, spread, to go with my keto reboot plan because so many of you are asking me what I eat and how to eat high-fat. I love making a ton of recipes on the weekend and then using it during the week and this one is dang good. I like to put it in my coconut wraps, dip Mary's crackers in it, or add some to my quick high-fat salad lunch. Remeber that anchovies are a superfood and you can't even taste them! I swear!
Bone Broth (it's not just a trend)
Whether you are treating an ailment or you just want to add some nutrient dense flavors into your cooking, if you aren’t already making BROTH, let me explain why you should.
Peppermint Pomegranate Mules with Ginger
I wanted to make something festive and of course something that tastes delicious and would be fun to make in a punch bowl or just for some family. I found organic pomegranate juice at Trader Joes after fresh pressing it for the event so I would recommend buying that. Has anyone ever tried juicing a fresh pom? Not only is it time-consuming but it is so dang messy, I hope you enjoy and make sure to take you activated charcoal!
Spiced Zucchini Bread with Adaptogen Boost
I took a healthy boxed mix and added some superfoods to give it a yummy immunity and fiber boost.
Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
So many people have the wrong idea about how brussels sprouts are supposed to taste, thanks grandma for ruining it for everyone! These bad boys are so simple, plus leave a tender inside and a crunchy outside.
Almond Milk Chai Latte
Skip the sugary Starbucks Chai this winter and make your own at home. You will save money plus be sipping on a immunity boosting drink vs a store bought inflammatory version.
Mashed Cauliflower with Thyme and Roasted Garlic
This recipe is one of those that will leave people in disbelief that they are not eating potatoes. The cauliflower becomes creamy and satisfying, but does NOT leave you feeling full and gross like potatoes do! This can be your holiday pot luck go to and I promise you will be the hit of the fiesta.
