I've started the next phase of my journey! I'm eating low-carb/ketoesque (I'm not trying achieve ketosis) and will keep legumes and fruit in my diet. I'm not " on a diet", just switching back to eating in a manner that helps alleviate chronic pain issues... and to lose more weight, which helps with those same issues. This morning: Eggs in an avocado basket with parmesan, cooked in ghee, and some local blueberries on the side.

PSA: Organic grass-fed ground beef, onion, garlic, green enchilada sauce, tortillas, olives and shredded MUENSTER cheese make amazingly yummy enchilada casserole! And since you can pick mild, medium, or hot for the sauce can be kid-friendly, too!

My son does not like eating fresh fruit or veggies at school (a textural and temperature issue), so these are an excellent way to get fruit and vegetables worked into his lunch.

Many shop with a health-conscious focus, stocking refrigerator, freezer, and pantry with food that often goes bad, as life's chaotic moments can derail even the best laid plans!
The solution? ME!!! Friends, family, and former clients know I have a talent for working with what is available and making it fabulous (and tell me to go on Chopped)!
Instead of throwing away spoiled food and ordering pizza or making a trip to a fast good drive-thru, allow me to create something healthy and delicious with what you already have in your kitchen!

Leftover ideas:
I made a pot pie with a gluten free shell (Visalia Grocery Outlet), filled with a mixture of turkey, gravy, green bean casserole, organic non-GMO corn (Tulare Grocery Outlet), and topped it with the small amount of leftover mashed potatoes and stuffing that had not been frozen for Christmas! Also utilized some left over ham and made a couple of quiches with some Japanese spinach and onion from our local Farmer's Market.

Good morning! A social group for late teens and young adults on the autism spectrum is in the process of being formed. Please call The Center For Integrated Medicine at (559) 625-4246 with referrals for the group, or private message me (text, or call me if you have my number). A group of this nature is desperately needed and will be a wonderful asset to our community. Also, to my many friends who are therapists and teachers, if you have any suggestions, or would like to volunteer your time, please reach out to me.

Fall is here, and winter will be before we know it, and "comfort food" often ends up making us uncomfortable by January!!! This is NOT necessary! Let us redefine the idea of comfort food from from cream soups, potatoes & pasta 100 different ways, etc., and try some HEALTHIER versions of comfort food!
Lentils cook up in about 30 minutes, and can be seasoned a variety of different ways, and there are many kinds to choose from, too. Split pea soup is another legume meal that cooks rather quickly, and like lentils, is full of fiber, protein, iron, and vitamins. Varying meats and veggies can be adding while cooking, too. Pots of beans are wonderful, and can be soaked overnight, and thrown in a crockpot the next morning. A money saving tip regarding legumes that I use in my home is to prepare a large pot and eat as the main course one evening, and use as a side dish the next evening.
Enjoy the cooler weather, and let's all stay comfortable while eating our comfort food!!

Last week the pollo albondigas we picked up from Vallarta tipped over in the bag, leaving the delicious vegetables and meatballs intact. So, I made some quinoa and added the soup's casualties to the pot, and it was delicious! Renewed my love of quinoa, and has my mind going with many more ideas for making it yummy!!!
