Remember…You Are More Than A Diagnosis

A few months ago, I shared some of the lessons on wellness and whole health that I learned from my time as a hospice nurse, renewed through the experience of my cousin Jim’s passing. In conversation with Jim as he was ailing and grieving the loss of a life cut short, I was reminded how important it is to fill our days with activities that ...

Summer Beef Stew with Chilled Thyme Pesto

I don’t mind hot foods during the summer, but in many people’s minds, summer and stew don’t go together. There is actually something to eating hot foods on hot days. I know many Africans who not only eat hot foods and drink hot liquids in the sweltering heat, but they also add heat-inducing spices, upping the ante even more. This tactic is actually cooling for ...

Roasted Strawberry Pots de Creme

  For as long as I can remember, strawberries have been my go-to indulgence. I mean, it wasn’t always the fruit itself. There were popsicles, slushies, lollipops, sodas, cream cheeses, sundaes, you name it. Later on in life, there was even strawberry-flavored beer. And when I did eat the fruit itself as a kid, it was usually coated in sugar. What was that all about?! Nowadays, ...

Grilled Chicken Kabobs with Orange, Olive and Oregano

  Nothing screams a long summer day louder to me than grilled chicken kabobs. Normally chicken is far from my favorite protein with beef, salmon and lamb filling my top three spots. Yet when chicken is cubed, marinated and grilled kabob-style, it becomes a stand-out summer dish. These AIP-friendly grilled chicken kabobs don’t rely on onions or bell peppers for flavor. Instead, the chicken is ...

Cultivating a Healthy Relationship with Technology

It is obvious we live in an incredibly connected, high-tech age… I mean, when else in time have folks been able to place a grocery order through an app on their smartphone and have them delivered by the end of the day? While this technology we have access to is nothing short of life-changing (It enables me to do this work, connecting with YOU all ...

Pan-Fried Marinated Duck Breasts with Cinnamon-Spiced Cherries

  There’s a stall at my local farmers’ market that sells biodynamically grown fruits throughout the seasons. When it’s cherry time, hundreds of the juicy beauties will sit atop high oak barrels, looking as though each one has been lovingly polished. We choose from a selection of Rainier, Bing, Van and Sweethearts among others and there are always plenty for tasting prior to bagging up ...
