Maple-glazed Walnuts

Such a simple snack and way to mix up the flavor in place of plain nuts. I'll grab a handful of these for a quick snack around the house, add them to salads, crumble them over roasted Brussels sprouts, or have them in my backpack when I'm out and about, or on the trail.

Roasted Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potato fries are very much a whole food, just roasted like any other vegetable! Prepared this way, it's a fantastic starch side dish to a balanced meal. Keep it classic with sea salt and pepper, or have a little fun with the spice combination. Parchment paper is preferred to aluminum foil and lends itself to a crisper fry and minimizes our exposure to aluminum.

Homemade Nut Butter Milk

Once you see how incredibly easy it is to make your own homemade nut milk, you may never go back to the store-bought boxed milks again! The pre-packaged milks on the shelves are mostly water and have unnecessary, added ingredients like carrageenan, sugar, natural flavors, and others to make them last longer on the shelf.

All you really need is nut butter and water. That's it. The nutrient density is higher and the flavor is richer. So as long as you have almond, cashew, or other nut butters on hand, you always have a simple, homemade nut milk 5 minutes away.

Nourishing Bone Broth

Enjoyed for hundreds of years around the world and the true medicine behind grandma's chicken soup, bone broth is in the spotlight for good reason. Deeply nourishing with healthy fats, protein, collagen, mineral rich, and full of flavor, this should be a staple in every home. I recommend all of my clients enjoy bone broth, especially if there is GI distress, gut healing, auto-immunity, disease recovery, or simply as a beauty secret for hair, nails, and skin for those wanting that glow that only comes from the inside out. It's also the best broth you'll ever taste. Health aside, the flavor in your home cooking goes up to chef level.
