Whole-Food Recipes to Get Your Energy Back
Quinoa Stuffing
This recipe came about in looking for healthy, gluten free holiday stuffing alternatives, however it is great any time of the year. I developed it based off a dish that I helped a client create to support their cognitive focus and energy. I’ve come to love this dish as it only takes a few simple tools and ingredients,, super versatile and is done in under 15 minutes.
One Cup Pancakes
This recipe has become one of my favorites lately as I am so excited to be able to eat something resembling a pancake that does not give me stomach pain. It is very simple to make too. You just need 1 cup of 3 different ingredients plus a little sea salt, hence the name. This recipe is also naturally gluten free, sugar free, dairy free, grain free, and low carb due to its simple ingredients.
Gluten Free Banana Muffins
Banana muffins have always been one of my favorite things to bake. They have natural sweetness and moisture from the bananas. They are great eaten as a snack with some butter or for breakfast with some scrambled eggs. So I decided to figure out how to make my favorite recipe gluten free and slightly healthier.
Meatballs with Veggies
This is one of my go-to recipes for making a quick, healthy meal. Meatballs are so versatile and great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can eat them hot or cold with a whole grain, vegetables, or eggs and add all sorts of sauces. I like to make a big batch and freeze half to pull out as I need them for meals or a protein-rich snacks.
Meatball and Cabbage Stew
This stew has become a favorite of mine on cold nights during my healing journey. Cabbage helps gut motility and the associated gas, burping, and bloating. It also provides a big punch of vitamin C along with fiber. I use purple cabbage for the color and added benefits of anthocyanin which is anti-inflammatory and phytosterols which help balance cholesterol.
