NOURISH
Too expensive, lacks taste, or just not enough time?
I'm glad you're here! I'm excited to share cooking made simple. My hope is to bring a new perspective to healthy eating without emptying our wallet or spending hours slaving away in the kitchen. We'll exchange simple ingredients to our much loved recipes that will bring nourishment to our bodies.
Over ten years ago, I began educating myself around health and wellness. I realized the various ways food contributed as a key component to my overall health.
-The benefits were endless-
Often I'm asked, "Are you vegan?" or "What diet are you following?" While I don't follow one diet or another, I've pieced together valuable information through these resources which have inspired me to find what was suitable for my lifestyle. As you find inspiration through these recipes, I encourage you to take the time to discover what's best for you and your body type.
Today, I continue to seek wisdom around nutrition and food whether it's through books, podcasts, and simple trial and error. By no means do I claim to be a certified nutritionist or substitute for a professional medical expert. My hope is you would feel empowered to become the best YOU through nutrition!

QUICK TIPS
Come check out some tips where I discuss substitutes that are essential to your health journey, what to stay away from and why!
These tips are ever growing. From my TOP favorite food brands to some fun facts along the way. I hope these tips provide a peace of mind as you go on your next shopping trip!
LET'S GET STARTED
Let's talk "SUGAR, SUGAR" Honey!
Eating healthy doesn't mean you can't enjoy a sweet dessert now and again but it will require tossing out the cane sugar.
TIP #1
Cane Sugar is an artificial chemical releasing toxins to your gut and weakening your immune system. No need to worry because there are some delicious replacements.
You can never go wrong with raw fruits to satisfy that sweet craving but if your looking to sweeten you're recipes here are a few to consider:
Raw Honey, Monk Fruit, PURE Stevia, & Coconut Palm Sugar!
MY FAVORITES BRANDS:
LAKANTO MONK FRUIT
&
ARTIE'S HARVEST LOCAL HONEY
Cooking OILS
TIP #2:
Whether we're sautéing, frying, roasting, or baking it's important to add the right types of oils to your dish. Canola, vegetable, soybean, corn, peanut, sunflower, and safflower are a few to AVOID.
Often these highly processed oils use a neurotoxin to extract and are highly inflammatory.
Extra-virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or extra virgin coconut oil are my top three favorites oils, they're induced with healthy saturated fats and antioxidants.
Ensure you do your research. I've found many companies "cut" their oils with other toxic oils without mention. I've listed a few of my favorites brands that you can consider!
MY FAVORITE BRANDS:
CALIFORNIA OLIVE RANCH
CHOSEN FOODS AVOCADO OIL
NATURE'S WAY COCONUT OIL
Milk
TIP #3
Unfortunately, due to the added fillers, GMO, and hormones, we are no longer consuming the benefits once available to us. That's why it's important to purchase brands that are organic, whole-fat, and 100 % grass-fed. By following these three recommendations you can get back to the true benefits milk was suppose to provide.
For my non-dairy friends, it's important to check the back of the ingredient list. Many brands add tons of fillers, gums, sugars, and oils. Instead, try to find some with minimal to none. Unsweetened almond, coconut, and oat milk are my go-to's! If you enjoy oat milk consider going organic. Oats carry something called "glyphosate" which can cause inflammation.
MY FAVORITES BRANDS:
ORGANIC VALLEY/MAPLE HILL MILK
MALK/NEWBORN BARN/CALIFIA FARMS
