Pumpkin season is right around the corner! Or is it here? 😳

You won't catch me drinking a pumpkin latte from a big name coffee shop ☕️ or grabbing pumpkin spice flavored breakfast cereals. 🥣 BUT ... boy do I love *real* pumpkin and its versatility! 🎃

Plus, pumpkin is packed with nutrients like Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Potassium, Magnesium, and Iron. It's low in calories, but high in fiber. (Fiber is something that most Americans lack!)

I wanted to make these Pumpkin Bites (No Bake! 👌), but had leftover pumpkin, so breakfast was a Pumpkin Smoothie.

🔆Smoothie: Banana, Pumpkin, Spinach, Chia Seeds, Flax Seeds, Pumpkin Pie Spice, and Unsweetened Almond Milk.

🔆Bites: 2c Old Fashioned Oats, 1/2c Pumpkin Puree, 1/4c Natural Peanut Butter, 1/4c Maple Syrup, 1t Vanilla Extract, 1T Pumpkin Pie Spice, Pinch of Salt, and 1/2c Choc Chips.

If you love pumpkin like I do, you will love these Bites!

Are you even eating breakfast if it isn't veggie soup? 🤪

This is your reminder that you are not limited to breakfast foods for breakfast!

Don't often care for "breakfast foods"?
Don't have time to make breakfast?
Dont want sugary breakfast cereals?

Leftovers, or other alternatives, are a perfectly acceptable thing to eat!

One of my most common breakfast options is a salad kit with chicken breast. This morning, though, my daughter pulled out leftover veggie soup from the refrigerator and I agreed that it sounded delish!

Veggie Soup for breakfast it was!

Add avocado & a dash of fresh Parmesan. 👌

Did you have a traditional breakfast this morning or did you branch out from standard breakfast foods?

I just got off the call with a woman whom I have met with 3x now. We first met on August 1st. She came to me for weight loss, but also noting that she has been struggling with really bad stomach pain for quite a while now - it has been a daily thing and something she can't seem to find a solution to. She works full time and is going to school as well so she feels like she is dragging during the day.

In the last 17 days, we have eliminated her stomach pain and she no longer feels like it is a struggle to get through the day. Her weight is trending down.

SEVENTEEN DAYS.

We didn't eliminate gluten. We didn't take out dairy. I didn't tell her not to eat potatoes, bananas, red meats, corn, chocolate or any of it. There were no eliminations.

We have a lot of work to do yet. Goals take time, but imagine having energy and getting rid of chronic stomach pain in just a couple of weeks.

I will state time and time again, that it's likely not a particular food or food group that is causing you health trouble. It really is the sum of everything we are taking in. It's the big picture. Stop cutting out ingredients, stop the elimination diets, stop the fads, the detoxes (those don't work), and the cleanses (those don't work either).

I am so excited to continue to see her progress because it is truly amazing what getting the basics of nutrition in order really does for a body!

If you are sick of trying all of the diets that are either temporary OR don't work at all ... reach out. It CAN be different for you. You can do it.

I will tell you on repeat to "trust the process." It might be slow, but it will be sustainable and you will get there. You can reach your goals, but it has to be different.

Client feedback, like, "This feels different this time" is always some of my favorite feedback to hear. It SHOULD feel different, a good kind of different.

Let's chat!

On this International Family Day, I thought it would be the perfect time to talk about how I work with families. Though individual people have different nutrition requirements and recommendations when working towards goals, I love taking into account the entire family/household dynamic when talking nutrition.

Almost every single individual I work with has some type of family situation that impacts their nutrition. Many of my clients have children who might have various food needs. Some are married to a spouse who eats different than they wish to eat. Some are the shoppers, the food preps, and the cooks for the entire family. Many get together with family & friends to gather around food quite often.

Part of my nutrition interest not only focuses on adults, but children as well. Having 4 children of my own, it is a passion of mine to help families raise children with more nutrient-dense foods. This can look different for each family and family differences & dynamics are always taken into account.

Some of my favorite clients to work with, come to me with questions about introducing foods to their 6-month-olds or about how to improve the household nutrition. The more pieces the puzzle has, the more rewarded my clients tend to feel once we figure out how the pieces all fit together for them. I love that!

I know that feeding a family can feel challenging. It IS challenging! I can help and would LOVE to help!

Send me a message on here if you are interested in checking your insurance benefits to see if nutrition therapy is covered for you! I work early mornings, days, evenings, and even many weekends! Let's find something that works!

I have a client who came to me in mid-March stating that she has gained over 35 lbs in the last 5 years. She has noticed that in those years, her tolerance to certain foods has changed a lot and she felt like her hormones were out of whack. She has been struggling with thinning hair and a LOT of bloating.

In ONE week's time, we identified some major holes - very low protein intake, not drinking enough water, living on caffeine, and several other "trouble spots."

TWO weeks in, she returns noting that she already feels a LOT better. She has much less bloating. She feels as though she has already slimmed down. She is fitting into her clothes better and feel improved over all. Gut feels better and she is tolerating more foods.

I met with her again yesterday for our weekly session and again she notes how great she feels. She notes that she has been told that her face is a lot thinner. Her friends and family are commenting on how she looks healthier. She states that the bloating is gone. She also states that she now fits into a size 6 pants noting that she hasn't worn a size 6 pants for as long as she can remember.

Six 1-hour sessions over the course of the last 8 weeks and she is so much less bloated and has lost enough weight to fit into pants that she hasn't worn in as long as she can remember.

I won't get into her crazy, busy schedule or the fact that her family loves to dine out and get together for large food-centered gatherings. She's not hungry. She does not feel restricted. Just reasonable changes that she has made fit into her day.

If you, too, are looking for improved gut function, better tolerance to foods, ditching the bloat, and losing some weight, let's chat. Send me a message here and let's get you scheduled now so that you can start feeling better!

If you have been following me for any length of time you probably know that I'm obsessed with these silicone muffin liners!

MANY muffins, egg cups, cupcakes made in my trusty muffin liners over the years.

I lost half of my liners to the recycling bag that sits below my the shelf on which I store my liners.

I lost another single liner, likely, to the school garbage can.

So since these are on sale, AND one of my most loved kitchen gadgets, I just bought myself another 24 liners on sale for $8.29.

I love how nothing sticks and foods seem to cook more evenly. They also serve as little lunch separators (as long as your kids don't toss them in the garbage after lunch).

These bags of salad may not have been my thing a year ago, but I'm all in today.

Normally, I prefer to chop and make my own salad, but if you're busy like me than these go-to meals are quick, simple, AND nutrient dense! Add a protein and whatever other veggies/nuts/seeds/beans/fruit you like and you're good to go!

These are, by far, my favorite lunch right now!

Another Breakfast - Pumpkin Smoothie

Vanilla Coconut Yogurt
Spinach
PB2
Banana
Pumpkin
Vanilla
Pumpkin Pie Spice

416 Calories. 15g Protein. 62g Carb. 9g Fat.

This is a little higher on the carb this morning but makes an excellent pre-workout food/drink or great for a breastfeeding mama. 💪 🤱

You could easily make it lower carb & higher protein by swapping the coconut yogurt for greek yogurt. You could also add seeds (flax, chia, h**p).

I ate a few slices of deli turkey on the side (don't ask, it just sounded good 😆), which added another 12g Protein for only 61 additional Calories. Being diary-free means looking for other ways of getting that protein.

Another super basic breakfast. All modifiable.

Breakfast:

Vanilla Yogurt
Blueberries
PB2
Flax/Chia/Hemp Mixture
Strawberry Preserves

300 Calories. 12g Protein. 45g Carb. 6g Fat.

I could reduce carb by ditching the preserves to save 10g, but I love strawberry preserves and don't add them daily. Sometimes I add more protein, but I get protein with my morning snack. I would also normally be eating greek yogurt vs dairy-free, when not nursing my dairy-free son, which would add another 8-10g protein and reduce carb as well.

Simple, healthy food. All modifiable.

This is so very real. And literally, I work with people who have chosen chips over fresh fruit because of the constant influx of negatives around food, like fresh fruit.

I recommend choosing organic if it makes you feel better eating fruit/veggies AND if it fits into your budget comfortably. If organic isn't reasonable due to pricing or accessibility or whatever, then PLEASE choose conventionally grown over skipping altogether. Eat your produce!

*Stress will kill you before nutrition, so please don't stress the details. Keep it simple.

My clients are up in arms about the whole Red Dye #3 situation yet Red Dye #3 is in SO few items. If these items are in your diet regularly, THAT is the issue, not the Red Dye.

Some of the foods that contain Red Dye #3: Pez, Double Bubble, Jelly Belly's, Tolli Sour Crunchy Crawlers, Brach's Candy Corn, Little Bites Mini Muffins, Fruit by the Foot, toaster pastries, red icing/decorations, strawberry milk, Ice Pops, Maraschino Cherries, Yoo-Hoo Strawberry drinks, some sodas & fruit drinks, some fruit cocktail.

Aside from fruit cocktail, nothing on this list is nutrient dense and none of it should be a regular part of your diet. Only some fruit cocktail have artificial food dyes and there are MANY alternatives to fruit cocktail as a whole.

Don't stress the small stuff. I assure you, your maraschino cherry atop your ice cream sundae that you eat once a year or so is NOT causing cancer. (Side note : the random maraschino cherries I have in my fridge don't even have Red Dye #3.)

Be careful where you source your nutrition information from, especially these days. There is more misinformation being spread than ever before.

When in doubt, go back to the basics - fruit, veggies, protein, whole grains. Move your body (not just exercise, but regular daily movement). Reduce stress (this one is huge). Sleep 7-9 hours every night.

The science of nutrition is complex, but nourishing your body does not have to be!
