'Tis the season for pumpkin! These gluten-free pumpkin muffins are super moist, delicious, and easy to make. They are perfect for a fall breakfast, after-school snack, or something sweet to have with your morning coffee.

This creamy and delicious soup has been adapted to be gluten free but tastes a lot like a chicken pot pie. It’s hearty and filling and warm for those cold evenings in Fall & Winter.
This pudding satisfies our family sweet tooth without sacrificing our functional health goals. My kids love eating this treat & often help making it too. I feel great about serving chia pudding to them because chia has so many benefits for health. Chia can be part of an overall health plan prescribed by your functional medicine doctor. Chia seeds are an excellent source of fiber, which can improve heart health, reduce cholesterol levels (especially triglycerides) and promote intestinal health.
I confess, we have been eating decadent gluten-free Dutch babies on weekends. Luckily, they are full of egg protein (and butter, oops). In an effort to bring antioxidants to the scene, I created this quick Berry Compote recipe that utilizes the frozen berries we have on hand at any given time. My daughter loves this addition to our Dutch baby weekends, and so do I. I love making extra compote to have on top of chia puddings, or Greek yogurt, or my grain free granola later in the week. This recipe is super easy, delicious and comes together in about 10-15 minutes…about how long it takes my husband to make the infamous Dutch babies.
Hearty Vegetable Beef Soup or Nick’s Cabbage Soup. This is an old classic adapted to my liking. You could likely use another ground meat like lamb or turkey for this if you prefer. We have always used beef. There are lots of great veggies you can sneak into this one.
This recipe is for 1-2 people at most unless you double it. I think of this as a quick meal for lunch at home or even dinner. This recipe was inspired by my friend, who described this as a “basic meal” she used to make for her young son “miso-butter noodles”. I thought it sounded deliciously comforting. This is my own take on the recipe, which I often make for lunch when I am in a hurry and need to eat something warm.
This is literally my seven-year-old son’s favorite meal. It can be adapted to be vegan and dairy free. Delicious on a cold day!
I recently bought a nut-milk maker (Nutr brand), and I love it. I never loved Golden Milk Lattes before but with my homemade milk (made with: 1T organic almonds, 1T cashew pieces, a pinch of salt, ¼ tsp vanilla & ½ T pure maple syrup), it was a delicious afternoon treat on a cold wintery day. Next time, I will make a double-batch.
These muffins are a riff on classic Morning Glory Muffins, using ingredients we usually have around the house. I like these muffins for sneaking a couple veggies into my 7-year-old, who only “likes” a couple green vegetables at this point. I’m constantly tweaking this recipe to see what I can get away with. This is the most up-to-date iteration. This recipe makes about 16 muffins.
Serve alone or over rice. Serve with hummus and a dollop of yogurt on top. Chopped cilantro or chopped Italian parsley. Delicious!
I am trying to incorporate more organ meat into my diet. This organic chicken liver pate is super easy to make and quite tasty. My 7 year old has no idea what he is eating but loves this on gluten-free bread lightly toasted. Also great on crackers. Chicken livers are surprisingly difficult to find at the grocery store…I have found them at old fashioned butcher shops & at Whole Foods.
