Smoky Paprika Roasted Aubergine Dip I’ve always enjoyed creamy yogurt veggie dips or cracker dips like chickpea hummus. But every time I finish eating, I end up feeling extremely bloated and have stomach cramps all day.

For someone with food sensitivities to legumes and dairy, this is what I get for following the wishes of my taste buds and disobeying the needs of my gut. Living with food sensitivities can be a real bummer sometimes. Which is why I was extremely delighted when I tried baba ghanoush a couple days ago. It’s just as hearty and satisfying as hummus but with no dairy and no beans! Amazing!  READ MORE

meatball soup Grass fed beef has become a rare commodity, not often found in a grocery store. Aside from its far superior taste to the large commercial farmed beef, the health benefits are far reaching. Organic grass fed beef is not fed corn or soy products which are almost always GMO. Genetically Modified Organisms (corn and soy) have not been properly tested on humans and several studies have shown there is reason to question the safety of us eating them, or what we eat that eats them!  READ MORE

Maple Salmon Recipe This wonderful maple salmon recipe is fantastic because it suits any kind of weather and can be cooked on the BBQ or in the oven. I am a huge fan of salmon!

In addition, Omega 3 can help aid cognitive function, increase attention/focus, improve memory function, support the cardiovascular system, reduce inflammation in the joints, and even help stabilize our emotions. Bonus!  READ MORE
