Gut health WL

Hi, all! Today I’m sharing with you one of my favorite variations of a vegetable and grain soup, which is so versatile and fun to play around with this time of year! During the colder months, I tend to stray away from the nutrient dense cold smoothies, and move  towards meals like this that contain a wide variety of nutrients in a stew or soup form that are hearty, comforting and delicious. You can also add organic turkey or chicken meatballs, white beans, chickpeas, hemp seeds, etc. to boost the protein in the dish, however there is still a great dose of protein from the farro and kale alone.

Soups and stews are SO comforting and delicious as we head into the colder months. Creamy soups can be EXTRA comforting on chilly days. Here, I’ve created a creamy and delicious soup without the guilt attached or the added pounds. Blending the potatoes gives a smooth and silky texture along with added healthy fat from tahini. Cozy up with this bowl of deliciousness this weekend without the guilt.  (more…)

This green filled soup will leave you feeling so amazing and refreshed before (or after) all of your holiday festivities. This time of year, we are all rushing around with high stress levels to get our final preparations done, and many aren’t making the best food choices. This is the time when the immune system is at its weakest. (more…)

I first have to say- I am completely at a loss of words as to how much time has flown by since I’ve last posted! So much has happened in my life (positive things!!) and I’ve been insanely busy and focusing on my work, but now I’m back on the grind of posting all things delicious and healthy.  This past month I had begun my Graduate program/Dietetic Internship, and my first rotation is clinical! It’s been an amazing experience so far and have worked with so many great people; I’m so happy to be able to stay at this rotation until Thanksgiving.
