Heal your gut. Heal your life.
Why would you choose a fatty, calorie-laden raw nut butter when you could just stick with your fat-free, sugar-free pudding? (Insert sarcasm.) I’ll tell you why today, and then I’ll give 10 ways to enjoy raw nut butters.
This isn’t going to be complicated.
I’ll give you the simple truths.
I eat a lot of boring foods. Boring is subjective, but by Western culture definition, I eat very plain and boring. I don’t classify my Mushroom and Spinach Turkey Burgers in that category, though.
That said, this “boring” way of eating has helped me heal in a thousand ways.
My boring foods might be boring on their own, but the way I put them together is delish.
The best example I can (currently) give is turkey. I eat a ton of it, but I make it colorful daily so that it’s never too plain and boring.
Turkey is nothing to write home about.
No one eats turkey plain ole Jane and raves, “Best thing I’ve ever eaten!” Am I right?!
I eat a ton of it. They have ground, organic turkey now at Costco, and that works for us.
But rarely do I eat it as is. I make it colorful daily and dress it up in different ways so that it’s never too plain and boring.
Take these Mushroom and Spinach Turkey Burgers, for example. They are filled with flavor, and if you love turkey, you must try them to spice up the turkey life.

Today I have a simple Roasted Vegetables and Nuts Side Dish to share with you.
I rack my brain most days of the week to think of a new side dish that’s delicious, simple and gluten-free. I could eat my greens and protein six times a day and be okay with that, but the foodie in me screams for a changeup.
My most favorite side dishes are those that I create with whatever is in the house at any given moment. They call this a kitchen sink meal, and I enjoy the term.
Here is one we tried a few weeks back.

Have you ever tried a tofu scramble? Now you can, and you might end up loving it!
It’s Friday! Big weekend plans for you?
I’m looking forward to another relaxing weekend at home, likely cooking, reading, relaxing and studying. Next week is going to be so busy! I’m headed to Long Beach for the Mega IIN Conference, and then staying in Los Angeles a few days for work. Super excited, but really just need some downtime before I head out.
I’m starting the weekend off today with a long overdue trip to Whole Foods, followed by a quick stop at Trader Joes. Between the two, I am confident I would never need another grocery store as long as I lived. Unfortunately, we live far from both. I have a list of things to get at both….I’ll share them later.
One thing I need to get from Trader Joes is their High Protein Tofu. I just love it, and I need it to make my Tofu Scramble. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve made this, but it was so good that I’ve decided it will make the perfect Saturday morning breakfast. Join me?!

I have a simple, warm and delicious, baked bananas dessert for you to try today.
Bananas are loaded with potassium. They are also friendly to the digestive system, which is exciting news if you are like me and have digestive issues of any kind. Why? Because bananas are sweet – pun intended – and can be used in many different recipes or are perfect stand-alone snack!
The suggestion has been made several times lately that I should think about writing a cookbook. I’ve thought of, “Cooking with Colitis” or something of the like. While it sounds real sexy and fun, I’m not sure writing a cookbook is for me. I have many other things around cooking and baking and truly helping people in need up my sleeve.
That being said, if I were to write a cookbook, it would have many recipes similar to the recipes in Joshua Rosenthal’s book, Integrative Nutrition: Feed Your Hunger for Health & Happiness.Why? Because the recipes are practical. I am tired of cookbooks, websites and blogs that think we all have 22.5 hours in the day to do nothing but cook and bake (though wouldn’t that be fantastic?!).
Not sure what a simple and practical recipe looks like? Most recipes on my site truly are. Same with Joshua’s. You should totally grab this FREE book from Joshua. It’s great!
This past weekend I made the Baked Bananas (found in the book). They were an awesome dessert for Ryan and I. I hope you will enjoy it!
