Bolognese Sauce
Bolognese Sauce

My Bolognese Sauce recipe is nutritious, delicious and has multiple uses. Starting with clean proteins, such as pastured-raised, antibiotic free pork, is important so that you eliminate toxins such as additives, hormones, antibiotics and herbicides that are used in the feed. The fat on animals is where the toxins are stored so buying clean proteins is one way to ensure the integrity of the product. The fat on clean animal proteins is also where healthy omega-3 fatty acids are. Our body, gut and brain, need healthy fats for optimal human health. Supporting farmers that raise their animals responsibly also aids in regenerative farming practices - good for the environment, good for you. This Bolognese recipe is delicious over your noodles of choice, but it can also be enjoyed over scrambled eggs, roasted veggies and in a bowl topped with chopped fresh herbs and ricotta cheese.

Paleo Beef Stew
Paleo Beef Stew

Eating in season is always the best way to eat for our bodies. Winter season calls for hearty soups and stews. My Paleo Beef Stew recipe is filled with nutrient dense ingredients that are in season, offering your body the most bio-available vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fats. Starting with grass-fed beef helps reduce incoming toxins that affect our immune system, digestive system and brain health. Grass-fed beef contains higher amounts of omega-3 fatty acids than conventionally raised beef. Beef bone broth offers us collagen and amino acids that not only heal our gut but help us maintain stronger bones, better hair growth and nails and replenish muscle tissue and cells.

Low-Carb Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
Low-Carb Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

Occasions deserve the occasional treat and my Low-Carb Vanilla Buttercream Frosting recipe is just that. A guilt-free and decadent cupcake filled with healthy fats, like coconut cream. Coconut cream has almost zero net carbs and contains lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid that can help with weight loss and improve brain function. Because of the higher amounts of saturated fat, coconut cream is very satiating, helping you to feel fuller longer. Coconut cream is also delicious, keeping this cupcake moist. Using a low to zero carb sweetener helps to maintain a more stable blood sugar level.

Meatza Pizza
Meatza Pizza

Who doesn’t crave a pizza from time to time. If you’re a low-career, keto, paleo or even carnivore follower, this is the crust for you. Simple, clean ingredients create a pizza crust-like texture, setting the base for a spectrum of toppings. Choosing organic, pasture-raised ground chicken or pork is important to our health so that we limit the overabundance of exogenous toxins we take in daily. Toxins cause inflammation in and outside our bodies, leading to a cascade of health problems, such as skin irritations, headaches, achy joints, leaky gut and so much more. Have fun with the toppings no matter what dietary plan you subscribe to. Shown here is shredded sheepsmilk cheese and spices.

Low-Carb Noodle Kugel
Low-Carb Noodle Kugel

This dairy-free or dairy-full noodle kugel recipe will be hard to keep from making just during the holidays. With different noodle options, gluten-free and grain-free, you’re sure to find one that suits your dietary needs. Dairy may cause inflammation, skin irritations, gastro intestinal distress and mucus build-up in many people. Some folks do well with goat and sheep based dairy, like myself. Finding clean and healthy alternatives can be challenging. Many vegan cheese alternative products contain upwards of fifteen ingredients, including rancid seed oils, like canola, and fillers that threaten our cellular health- stay clear of those and look for more whole food based products to help reduce inflammation and cell damage. I offer many substitutions here that have all been made by me and tested by my kids. There’s a version for everyone.

Dark Chocolate Ganache
Dark Chocolate Ganache

Dark chocolate is full of healthy polyphenols, a delicious way to eat more anti-oxidant loaded foods. Anti-oxidants fight off free radicals and help to reduce overall inflammation in our bodies. Pair dark chocolate with coconut milk, full of medium chain triglycerides (MCT’s) and you have a smooth, creamy, healthy and nutritious ganache to serve. Our brains love MCT’s and thrive on healthy fats, using them as a source of energy. Eat this on a spoon, on a healthy, grain-free cookie or spread on fresh fruit for a healthy dessert.
