TURMERIC MILK 3 WAYS
On February 5, 2019 by Cynthia JanI love turmeric milk and often recommend it to my clients especially since I always start with a focus on gut health. What’s interesting is that 90% of all cells and genetic material are in your gut and 80% of your immune system is in your gut. Many of your hormones are manufactured in your
Almond Pancakes
On February 2, 2019 by Cynthia JanI love almonds! Always have, always will! I remember as a young girl, I really loved marzipan, I mean it’s just so delicious.

Ginger Cinnamon Cookie
On December 19, 2018 by Cynthia JanThis recipe was inspired by my daughter. She’ll be decorating cookies at school this week and I wanted to offer her something that she’ll love, but that is also a healthy treat, and so I created this Paleo bear claw. We tested them out together, had fun working on the recipe and she got to
PLANTAIN WAFFLES
On November 13, 2018 by Cynthia JanI love plantains! They’re so versatile! These waffles are so easy to make, you’ll want to make them everyday.

OLIVE TAPENADE
On October 31, 2018 by Cynthia JanOLIVE TAPENADE I love olives! They’re very high in vitamin E, monounsaturated fats as well as powerful antioxidants including polyphenols, which have proven anticancer, anti-diabetic and anti-aging effects.

BREAKFAST SEED “OATMEAL”
On October 28, 2018 by Cynthia JanThis twist on a traditional oatmeal recipe is oat-free making it both gluten and grain-free.

CHOCOLATE CHIP VANILLA MUFFINS
On October 27, 2018 by Cynthia JanCHOCOLATE CHIP VANILLA MUFFINS I created this recipe for my kids’ upcoming birthdays.

AVOCADO BREAKFAST BOWL
On October 23, 2018 by Cynthia JanAVOCADO BREAKFAST BOWL Breakfast is one of those meals that can be so daunting! Remove toast and cereal and it’s an enigma. We’re so conditioned to believing that breakfast is cereal, oatmeal, toast or eggs. But this is a recipe for disaster. Kids rely on cereal for nourishment but this couldn’t be further from the

I mean, the ingredients, the spices, the textures, the lemon, it’s all so delicious!

Mixed Berry Chia Jam
On October 19, 2018 by Cynthia JanMIXED BERRY CHIA JAM In every possible case, I always try to avoid processed foods. Processed foods are filled with food-like products such as preservatives, chemicals, hydrogenated fats, etc. So when at all possible, I’ll prepare food from scratch this way I know what’s in them and what I’m feeding my family. Jam is no
