whole30: cereal

cereal = life saver

with all the prep i was up against each day to keep us on track, i knew i would need something yummy/exciting/convenient to throw at my kids serve the kids when they needed something to hold them over till meals were ready. 
this cereal is so freakin tastey, it saved me, from having  a melt down quite a few times too....



 for the perfect bowl of magic to wake you up in the morning, first fill your bowl with one diced apple and a handful of raisins. then top with about 1/3 c cereal. pour whole30 coconut milk over top, and your taste buds will bask in the crunchy, crispy, sweet, chewy, cinnamonny etc party that's happening in your mouth!


whole30 cereal

2 c plain coconut shreds
1 c almonds
1 c walnuts
1/2 c ground flax
juice of 2 oranges
2 egg whites, whipped to medium peaks
1/4 c prunes, chopped
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla  



*process nuts in food processor until crumbly.
*toss in a bowl with all other ingredients.
*spread flat on a greased cookie sheet. dry out on 300 degrees, stirring every 15 minutes until a golden color is achieved, for about 45 minutes.
 *let cool completely, break into chunks and store in an air tight container.


  

life. changed. forever.

roasted butternut squash and tzatziki

well after all the holidays have come and passed, i finally have time to sit down and write these recipes. and i have to tell you, its been a week and a half since i made this, and i havent stopped thinking about it! sometimes your greatest successes can be found in your mistakes...and that's exactly what happened on this night for dinner. i knew i was making roasted squash with steamed asparagus and carrots. the squash has an incredible flavor, but i needed to boost the steamed vegetables just a bit. so my greek mind decided on tzatziki (pronounced: tat-zee-kee). for those of you who don't know what that is, wake up and get yourself to the closest greek festival and you'll discover it's the most delicious condiment in the form of a yogurt cucumber sauce. but i remember being intimidated watching my older sister make this when i was a kid, because with every greek recipe you have to cook like a superhero...or grecian goddess...and multitask for at least six hours stra

tips for transition/maintaining a healthy lifestyle

with the experience that i've had over the last five-ish years sticking to a whole foods diet, i thought why not just throw some things i've learned on to a nice and neat little blog post for your inspiration. enjoy:) 1. READ, READ, READ!! the moment i found out that there were some serious issues going on with my health at age 18, i was mortified and had a desperation to find answers. the herbalist i was working with at the time suggested two books to read to help me understand the concept of healing the body. i can't even remember the name of either of the books, but for the first time in my life, i enjoyed reading! after that i decided to plow through every book i could find on health and nutrition. i had to immerse myself in the work of these authors, to remind myself that i wasn't in fact insane like everyone else around me perceived...i was regaining control of my body and mind by leaving the status quo of western eating. if you are interested in your health, r

traveling trail mix

there's nothing i love more than traveling. as crazy as you know i am, it shouldn't surprise you that the first thing i plan for a trip is all the food i will be bringing with me. i usually spend a few days day-dreaming and preparing the food i make for a trip, and less than an hour packing my suitcase with personal belongings. the only person who takes this task more seriously than i do is my sister. she even packed fermented vegetables in her suitcase while traveling to another continent! read her blog , see how she did it and learn about some of her healthy tips and adventures in greece. i'm currently sitting in the airport waiting to board a plane that will take me to paradise....navarre beach, florida! as one of "florida's best kept secrets," it has emerald coast lines with white sand that soothes your feet as you frolick across it. my family has been traveling to this same destination for the last twenty years, and i love it more and more every year we
