Did fall just arrive with the blink of an eye? I could have sworn we were just ushering in the summer season with recipes for asparagus salad and grilled veggie kabobs. How did we move on to gluten-free apple galette so quickly? In our neighborhood, the trees are starting to turn colors, with some bright orange and yellow spots, mixed in with some red. Growing up in LA, we didn’t get a good glimpse at fall foliage so I certainly don’t take leaf peeping for granted. Wholesome ingredients for a healthy crust. Vegan adaptable too. Apple picking is another fall indulgence ...

Healthy Roasted Vegetable Soup
As soon as there’s a bit of a chill in the air, I’m in the kitchen making a pot of soup. If someone in the family is a bit under the weather, you’ll find me in the kitchen making a pot of soup.

I freeze this yummy sauce in batches so when the winter doldrums hit, I can bring out a taste of summer ...

In my health coaching practice, the number one reason I hear for not starting the day off with a wholesome breakfast is---you guessed it---time! Nobody seems to have enough of it, especially in the morning, while trying to get out the door on time. Seriously, who is making fresh, wholesome pancakes on a school day? What if that could be you? Gluten-free blender pancakes---uber ...
