These grain-free enchiladas are also gluten-free and paleo friendly. A flavor-packed healthy weeknight dinner the whole family will love! Surprisingly, you can still indulge in delicious Mexican cuisine even when you’re paleo and/or cutting gluten out of your diet. Just grab some gluten-free almond flour tortillas, some gluten-free enchiladas sauce and make this delicious recipe for the cheesiest and most delicious beef enchiladas. “But wait, it that cheese on top? I thought cheese was not allowed on paleo?” I hear you and yes we can talk about this! Are these gluten-free enchiladas also paleo? Can we talk about cheese and being paleo for a second? I recently hashtagged a salad with goat cheese as paleo on my Instagram. Someone commented asking, “I thought cheese wasn’t paleo?” To which I responded, “If it’s local, organic and grass-fed and works for your digestion – it’s totally fine.” The commenter said she was…

This gluten-free sea bass with herbs, tomatoes & capers is easy to make, incredibly healthy and fancy enough to fool anyone into thinking you’re a brilliant chef. Plus it takes all of 15 minutes from start to finish. I am a lucky person. We moved from DC to Charleston, South Carolina in June of 2020. No one thought we’d do it. My mother in law thought we were insane. But now, it’s 70 degrees on March 1st and I golf carted to the docks in my neighborhood to pick up fresh sea bass. Life is good. Fresh seafood is probably my most favorite category of food. Give me some oysters, a whole grilled fish, a crisp glass of white wine and I am GOOD. Not to mention that seafood is one of the absolute healthiest foods available to us as humans. Pair it with herbs, tomatoes and capers and you’ve…

I’ve been gluten-free for over ten years and still sometimes struggle with what to make for breakfast! Here are my top ten gluten-free breakfast ideas, all are healthy, nourishing and will fuel your body and brain for a great day! I don’t know why, but I always struggle with what to make for breakfast. I wake up, I ask my two year-old and my four year-old what they want. And honestly they’re not at all helpful. But today I was scrolling through some of my food pics and I thought, DUH. Here is what to eat for breakfast. All these nutritious, healthy, filling meals to fuel your brain and body. Here are my top ten gluten-free breakfast ideas. First up, a good ol’ smoothie. When made properly, smoothies are healthy, filling, delicious – and won’t spike your blood sugar. I say that last part because majority of smoothies are made…

This anti-inflammatory salmon and veggie bowl is easy to meal prep, perfect for gut and overall health and is totally delicious. I love a good bowl. A Greek chicken bowl. An Asian ground chicken bowl. Egg roll in a bowl. Korean ground beef and veggie bowl. I love ’em all. And even better, they’re perfect for meal prepping. I only meal prepped two of these bowls but I wish I’d done more. They were SO good, filling and healthy. I love eating healthy food because it literally makes my body and brain feel better. There’s a reason for this. Did you know that the food you eat isn’t just energy for your cells, it’s information? How we eat determines more than our body composition, it determines how we think, mental clarity, cognitive function, our mood, our energy, our sleep, genetic expression and so much more. I’m so in love with…

These Brussels sprout breakfast potatoes were something I tossed together out of the remnants of my fridge…and there were EFFING AMAZING. I’m really not into food waste. Like, it bothers me. It’s horrible for the earth. It costs us more money. It’s not sustainable. The list goes on. So last Thursday when I had next to nothing in my fridge (I grocery shop on Fridays) and I came across a half empty back of shredded Brussels…I had to get creative. I don’t love sauteed Brussels. I didn’t want eat straight up Brussels and eggs. But I do love breakfast potatoes. And crispy Brussels are DELICIOUS. So you combine the two, wam bam boom. Perfect breakfast side. Served with two or three runny eggs? Perfect breakfast. Health benefits of Brussels sprout breakfast potatoes: cruciferous veggies are anticarcinogenic cooked and cooled potatoes are a resistant starch, meaning they feed beneficial bacteria in…

This crockpot beef & veggie greek stew is so easy, delicious and healthy. It’s also keto, paleo and gluten-free! I like crockpot meals. They make my life easier. I can throw a bunch of stuff in a pot and take my kids to the park and come home a few hours later and BAM. Dinner is ready. Usually I “forget” a snack and my kids are so hungry they eat it. By forget I mean I don’t bring snacks so that I don’t have any when my kids ask for some. It’s okay for kids to get hungry. It’s good for their digestion and for the amount of food they eat, aprticularly as designated meal times. I’m not against snacks, but I AM against snacking all damn day, which seems to be the norm with kids these days. My son has breakfast at 8am, goes to school, has a snack…

I really love the flavors of rosemary honey dijon chicken and I meal prepped this for easy proteins throughout the week! I’m alllll about some meal prep. Saves me time. Saves me money. Reduces stress. I’m never scrambling to figure out what to eat throughout the week, I never stress about what to pack in my four year-old’s school lunch. My meal prep menu this week included: this rosemary honey dijon chicken (if that was not obvious)steamed broccoliroasted balsamic brussels sprouts (toss in olive oil and balsamic glaze, roast on 415 for 15-20)buttered carrots (peel, chop, boil, drain, toss in butter) sweet potato rounds (peel, slice, boil) chimichurri (one bunch of parsley, one bunch of garlic, a bunch of green onions, lots of olive oil and some red wine vinegar – blend until smooth) Tips: I grilled this recipe, which is SO quick and easy and requires next to no…
