I encourage eating whole foods, that are made from scratch. If you feel busy, don't like to cook or not sure where to start, this is a simple recipe you will love!
For those of you on elimination diets, this is also a great recipe to include as it is a basic recipe that excludes most food sensitivities.
Give it a try, and let me know in the comments what you think!
Don't let the thought of a plant based diet scare you. A plant-based diet is NOT a diet of vegetables alone. It is a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. You have the choice to exclude or minimize meat, including chicken, dairy products and eggs. The diet will definitely exclude foods made from refined flour and sugar, and certain refined vegetable oils.
There are several food categories from which to choose. You can still make many of your favorite and familiar meals such as pizza, mashed potatoes, and burritos.

This is a question I get asked all the time, and so I'm sharing some helpful tips with you today. Food intolerances or "sensitivities" can affect you in so many ways, and they’re a lot more common than most people think. Although you might not recognize them immediately to be related to food.
I'm not talking about anaphylaxis or immediate allergic reactions that involve an immune response. Those can be serious and life-threatening. If you have any allergies, you need to steer clear of any traces of foods you are allergic to, and speak with your doctor or pharmacist about emergency medication, if necessary.
What we are going to go over today, is an intolerance, meaning you do not tolerate a specific food very well and it causes immediate or chronic symptoms somewhere in the body.
Symptoms can take hours or even days to show themselves. And symptoms can be located just about anywhere in the body.
Because of this, food tolerances can be really tricky to identify.
