Kale & Berry Summer Omega Superfood Salad with Tahini Dressing (Vegan & Paleo)

It’s berry season! I usually buy up fresh cranberries in the fall and freeze them for year round use but this salad is wonderful with sliced strawberries, or tart blueberries or raspberries. Berries are chock full of antioxidants and a great addition to summer detox. […]

Sweet Potato Fries with Manjistha

Sweet Potato Fries with Manjistha

Having to avoid nightshades is frankly annoying.  Back in my pre-Hashimotos days when I was running 20-30 miles per week and cutting whole bags of jalapeños onto every meal I also enjoyed a nice fat burger with mushrooms, blue cheese and hot chips (French fries). […]

Fermented Guacamole (Nightshade-Free)

Who loves guac?!  Personally, I love guacamole… but I truly do not enjoy the speed at which I have to consume it so it does not turn brown.  Once in a while I will make fermented kefir guac which doesn’t brown, but I can no […]
