Holistic & AIP Nutrition Guidelines
After pulling my hair out looking over the American and Canadian Food guidelines for 2019 I decided to create one that takes into account the number 1 killer, heart disease, and the fastest growing, auto-immune disease! Holistic Nutrition looks at the body as a whole, and the person as mind-body-spirit interconnected. In-other-words, what harms one…
Chicken & Dumplings, Gluten-Free
After making chicken bone-broth the other day, I was in the mood for comfort food — of the chicken variety. Naturally, I thought about the Chicken and Dumplings I used to make. Everyone loved it! Nowadays we are a mostly Gluten & Dairy-Free family so I decided to try dumplings my own way. I found…
Super-Power Your Meals with Pureed Veggies

“Apple Cinnamon” GF Squash muffins
Getting kids to eat vegetables isn’t always easy. Boy, do I know this first hand. I have one child that will eat all vegetables and fruit, and two that are pickier. My youngest, my son, has made strides over his 11 years, but still eats very few vegetables. Of course, this concerns me, so, as…
7 Reasons I prefer cast-iron pans over them all!
As I was researching to purchase new pans there was a lot to consider. As a holistic health coach, my priorities are obvious, but I was surprised to find that cast iron kept checking all the boxes on my wants and needs list.

How mindset plays a roll in shame & guilt.
Shame is one of the most emotionally damaging emotions we can carry, and when mixed with a fixed mindset it can be downright dangerous. For some people, it shows itself as severe depression but at a deeper level can be seen as some of the most damaging emotional illnesses. So many emotional illnesses are found to be rooted in shame and self-loathing.
It’s important we become aware of these emotional mindsets and work at actively shifting them. We can choose to grow from the lessons in front of us, instead of becoming resentful of them.
