I find that as soon as summer comes to an end and the holiday season kicks off my clients start to stress about getting sick, gaining weight and what the heck to cook. Some rush into a new gym routine, others order take-out to save time, and the smart ones ask me what to do.
Read MoreThis recipe is my healthy festive holiday spin on the traditional Pumpkin Latte you see at places like Starbucks. The difference is my recipe does not contain added sugars (Starbucks is about 65 grams) and additives that leave you feeling horrible and add to weight gain and low energy. My recipe is an upgraded Bulletproof Coffee recipe with pumpkin and spices that are packed with nutrients like beta-carotene, vitamin A, and antioxidants that help with brain function and boost energy, plus it tastes delicious!

Breakfast is a topic that I talk a lot about with my clients. I find that people feel they have to eat breakfast and usually it consists of sugar and carbs when you actually should be eating fat and protein. Do not even get me started on breakfast cereals that people are feeding their kiddos. Have you seen this post, read the first 4 on what companies like Kellogg are doing to harm us and our kids.

My grandma always told me if you can’t cook a whole chicken then you will never find a husband. Lucky for me I can, and now I am engaged! But for reals, if you eat meat you should be able to make a roast chicken. It is a classic staple, one that you will make over and over again. I also love that it’s not just 1 meal but you can make a ton of variations of recipes depending on the season (right now lots of soups and warming foods).
BROTH: After eating the meat (or I usually take it off the bones to store it) I will put the bones, a little bit of apple cider vinegar and some herbs into a stock pot and fill with water, let simmer for 4-5 hours then strain. Store in glass in the fridge and sip throughout the day or you can freeze to use later.
Plus I made this recipe so you don't need any fancy tools like a thermometer. If you have your cast iron and oven and boom good to go.

Serves: 6-8 as a dip or 10 for when paired with meat or seafood
This dip is one I have been obsessed with all summer. It is refreshing with the thinly shredded cucumbers and lemon juice. I love it with Mary’s crackers or pairing it with lamb in a Gyro bowl or on top of some wild salmon. If you are not sensitive to dairy, or you are not aware of being sensitive to dairy, it doesn’t hurt to cut it our for a bit (let’s say 10 days) to see how you feel when you enter it back in. I personally stick to sheep or goat products for cheeses, but either way whatever you choose make sure it is organic, full-fat and preferably raw/unpasteurized.

This low sugar, keto (high-fat) smoothie is my go to in summer. When I see strawberries at the market I will freeze half for my on the go lunch or snack (depending on my workout). Because of the healthy fats from the coconut, MCT oil and chia seeds, this smoothie keeps you full and satisfied. Cauliflower is my secret to a creamy consistency without the high sugar and carb from the traditional banana used in most smoothie recipes. Try adding a scoop of collagen or protein to up the protein as well.

This salad is refreshing, cleansing and great to restart your week. I always like to have my protein prepped for the week to add to this for a work lunch.
