Fall Roasted Veggie Salad
This beautiful salad is a great way to sneak in some extra vegetables and nutrients! Our son is more inclined to eat it because of the little sweetness provided by the sweet potato and fruit. While we prefer to eat it as the main dish, it can also be served as a side. Simply dress with olive oil, salt and pepper! Ingredients 1 small-medium sweet potato (chopped) 1/2 small red onion (cut into chunks) 1 large carrot (peeled and chopped) [...]
Egg Salad
We’ve often struggled with lunchbox options, and were thrilled to introduce this clean option into our rotation. This delicious and easy to make recipe is more like one big deviled egg, compared to the typical egg salad. We try to serve this over a bead of mixed greens, wrapped in a lettuce wrap or served with raw vegetables for some fiber and avoid the possibly of protein fermentation in the gut. Unfortunately, egg sensitivities and egg allergies are becoming more [...]
Roasted Pumpkin/Squash Seeds
With this recipe, we were once again trying to consume as much magnesium as possible. Pumpkin and squash seeds contain some of the highest sources of magnesium found in whole food and are hugely anti-parasitic, especially with the hull! These incredible seeds also freeze well, so use the opportunity when in season to freeze any extras. They are surprisingly enough, a big favorite in our house. Ingredients 1 1/4 c. raw pumpkin or squash seeds 2 tbsp. avocado oil or melted [...]
Cranberry Sauce
Holidays can be tricky with extended family! This simple recipe doesn’t add any extra stress to the holiday food prep and is a simple way to make a traditional holiday dish a little more healthy. Most store bought options contain gelatin, natural flavors, corn syrup and other inflammatory sources of free glutamate. In my opinion, this tastes far better than any canned option out there. This recipe can easily be made ahead and frozen prior to the big day. Ingredients [...]
Trail Mix
Looking for a quick snack while on the run? I’ve looked high and low for a cleaner trail mix option, but they are often packed with sources of glutamate (MSG), anti-caking agents, and inflammatory additives. While different variations can be made, we try to store a chocolate free variety of this in my car and carry-on at all times. Ingredients 1 cup Roasted & Salted Almonds – Because all other ingredients are raw, I prefer to use roasted & salted almonds [...]

Magnesium Muffins (Egg-Free, Nut-Free, Grain-Free )
Early on in our journey, we were searching high and low for a natural source of magnesium that our son would actually consume. We landed on pumpkin seeds as they have some of the highest sources of magnesium found in whole food, but I struggled on how to get him to eat them…thus this “magnesium muffin” recipe was created. Using pumpkin seeds as the flour and pumpkin flesh as the base, gives new meaning to [...]
