This oldie but a goodie popped up on my personal feed and wanted to share. This recipe has morphed over the years, but this is still pretty solid. let me know in the comments if you have ingredient items in this recipe that you cannot have and I can help you try to adjust it so that you can have something tasty and "Fall" feeling! Happy Saturday!

Hello YAO Family! Looking forward to seeing some of you at next Wednesday's webinar - Never Going Back - Going Gluten Free.

Going gluten free - among many other things that I removed from my diet- was the first step I made in my personal motto - "Honor Yourself. Celebrate Your Strength. Empower Your Tranformation."

It was honoring myself that was a really big and really challenging thing to do. Gluten of all things - in the face of a gluten dominated culture - how do you "honor yourself" by NOT eating gluten when it seems everyone around you is indulging?

How do you explain your choice to others when you know it is IMPERATIVE for your own health? Would love to hear you share in the comments here - how you honor yourself in this capacity with gluten or other foods you have chosen to remove. Let me know !

Would love to see you! Details for signing up are in this link. Be sure to register so that you will get the replay after the event!

Hey YAO Peeps! It's Margaret here! Long time no post! Many long time patrons of YAO are on what we refer to sometimes as the YAO diet - removing gluten, dairy and eggs, but you may not know my journey!

About 15 years ago I stopped eating gluten. First as a trial to see if it did anything at the suggestion of a Tai Chi teacher I had at the time. I noticed almost immediately, that I had a LOT more energy!

I was soon after diagnosed with both celiac and gluten sensitivity along with Hashimoto's Hypothyroiditis. After doing some other food sensitivity testing with Dr. Daniel and removing more items from my diet, I became free from the Hashimoto's within about 10 months.

In the following years, I dropped issues with seasonal allergies, joint pain -that I didn't even know I had - break through bleeding in my cycles, a lot of weight and more! Everything seemed to be resolving.

I live a life free of gluten, dairy and eggs (as does Dr. D - OF COURSE), and along with my colleague, Victoria Sofitel we both have also navigated dealing with kids who need to have gluten removed.

Victoria and I have tons of tips and tricks and the knowledge around why this can be a truly important health choice for some.

We also make going into social situations loaded with gluten manageable (think holidays).

Our FREE webinar is great as a refresher for our YAO family - anyone wanting to just NOT FEEL ALONE for an instant in this big crazy world. It is also great for any friends or loved ones to help them see the WHYs and HOWs of a gluten-free diet. This gets everyone on board and makes for a lot more peace!

If you feel inclined to learn more, we would love to have you join our webinar next Wednesday, October 8th from 4-6 pm. It's FREE and you can sign up and then get the replay link if you can't make it live.

OR - PLEASE share with a friend who may be interested.
