The lining of your gut is actually considered to be “outside the body”
🦠
Stay with me here...The lining of the gut...everything from the mouth to your bottom is a lining that is exposed to the outside world by way of the mouth. This is the defense barrier between the outside world and your inside body.
🦠
The bacteria in your gut play a role in how well your immune system functions, your mental health and may actually promote or inhibit cancer cell growth. The research in this area is so exciting!
🦠
So here’s what this has to do with this cabbage— in order to populate your gut with good bacteria you need to feed the good bacteria with cabbage, vegetables and fermented foods. Then you also need to starve the bad bacteria by eliminating/limiting sugar, processed food, and carb overload.
🤢

Um.....yes! You can still eat casserole! You just need to give it a haircut first! This tater tot casserole is loaded with grass fed beef, gut healthy cabbage and none of the ingredients you can’t pronounce. You can indulge without the guilt OR the carbs and the rest of your family with thank you for dinner 🥘
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1/2 head cauliflower or use 10oz bag of frozen cauliflower
1/2-1 cup chicken stock
4oz unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 of a medium head of cabbage, chopped (I like napa cabbage)
1 can green beans (look for that BPA free liner:)
1 package grass fed ground beef
1 package frozen tater tots (read ingredients for type of oil, seasonings and fillers and choose according to your lifestyle)
Avocado Oil
Salt and pepper
Oregano and Thyme
optional: 1/2-1 cup cheese (for lectin-free use a parmesan or manchego)
optional: bacon (if you like bacon in everything)
Directions:
1. Cook the onions and garlic with avocado oil over medium heat until translucent and fragrant (approximately 8-12 minutes). Add in the cauliflower and chicken stock and cook until the cauliflower is soft, then add the coconut milk. Remove from heat and when cooled slightly, use an immersion blender to puree until creamy. Pour into a large bowl and set aside.

2. In the pan, cook the cabbage with avocado oil and salt and pepper until softened, but slightly chewy (approximately 8-10 minutes). Add this to the large bowl.
3. In the pan, now cook the ground beef (or your beef substitute) and add salt, pepper, oregano and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently to break up into small pieces. Cook until browned and cooked through. (This is where you would also cook your bacon if you wanted to add this)
4. Add beef to the bowl. Add canned green beans to bowl. Mix all ingredients until combined. (this is where you would also add cheese if you were choosing to incorporate)
5. Pour into a baking dish of your choice and top with tater tots.
Now that you know what’s for dinner, tag a friend who needs some casserole in their life!😉

Help me find a great go-to bar! I have such a hard time finding a store bought bar that I love! I do like Lara....just feel like I need something new!

You’ve probably never had this Everything Bagel Breakfast with....wait for it.....cabbage!!
😉
If you’re looking for something savory that will keep you full for hours this is easy to create or reheat.
😉
Stay with me on this one, because once you try it you’ll start buying cabbage every week....swear 😆

1. Sauté 1-2 cups sliced organic green cabbage in avocado oil with salt and pepper.
2. Add a cheese like manchego, Parmesan or....diaya cheese which I have been experimenting with
3. Stir until melted and add bacon. Top with Everything But the Bagel seasoning.
DONE!
🌟
This will also feed your good gut flora and promote that healthy microbiome. Choose pasture-raised bacon and avoid conventional US- raised dairy cheese! It’s Full of Fiber!

Nutrition is never perfect and sometimes life just gets us off track for a while.
🤷‍♀️
And that’s ok. Sometimes it’s just beyond our control and when we have the time and energy to focus on food again, we will.
💪
Here is a simple dinner. It’s a good end to a day that might have been hectic or stressful and it pairs really well with wine 🍷.
🐟
Here is the secret to dinner success:
🌟 Individually frozen wild caught fish 🌟
Don’t even think about something fancy or macros or side dishes....
Just cook that piece of fish in a pan with avocado oil and put it on top of GREENS.....and whatever screams at you from the fridge.
🥗
Snack on whatever you’re cutting up as your fish cooks. Start here and see what tomorrow brings. You might even cut up some extra veggies to throw in your bag for tmrw.
🥬
Just keep it simple.💕

You can eat chips, cheese and guacamole for breakfast, right?
😉
Absolutely right you can. Especially on the weekends and especially with these good-ingredient swaps. (And especially if you have a 1 year old running around without a diaper and a 3 year old attempting to make his own smoothies 😩😬🤣)
🌸
Here’s how to make breakfast great again😆:
1. Use pasture raised egg and flip in twice in a pan so that both sides are cooked and the middle is soft. Then put down a bed of cheese into the pan (manchego, diaya, Parmesan) and then set the egg on top. This is done when the cheese melts and becomes crispy on the edges.
2. Light organic arugula salad with organic tomatoes tossed in salt, pepper, lemon and olive oil. (Sub avocado oil if you want or feel free to add balsamic or use Lemon vinaigrette
3. Grain free chips with Organic avocado mash
☕️
Here’s to enjoying and showing gratitude for the small things today.

Eat your beans by the spoonful.
🥄
Or with a big celery scoop. 😆 Sure some beans are harder to digest and potentially more inflammatory then others (think kidney beans). But some beans are well-tolerated (like northern beans or canellini beans) and can be pressure cooked to remove even more inflammatory compounds.
🌱
They are the easiest, creamiest and least expensive way to increase your fiber (think of removing toxins and combating IBS), provide energy without blood sugar ups and downs, and provide a source of iron.
Plus, use them to make healthy favorites like ranch dip, roasted onion dip, seaweed hummus....( precious posts for recipes)
Add additional oil, water, plant based milk to make a bean-based dip into a bean-based dressing. Total wins all around😉

Lazy Dinner 🌱
🌸
It’s true. I didn’t have dinner planned. My husband had to work. The kids were hungry way earlier than expected. And I didn’t have a moment to eat until after baths/books/pajamas/bedtime. So, enter the easiest salad ever.
☘️ pre-washed organic arugula
🥓 pre-cooked bacon
🌻 didn’t bother to cut ‘em olives
🌥 pre-cut cauliflower
🌈 orange peppers
🍅 tomato
🌴 leftover cilantro lemon Caesar dressing
(Prep it once and it’s there all week 🤣)

I get that some of these delicious breakfasts look like a ton of work. As in- who has time for that in the morning? With kids 🤷‍♀️ And a job 🙋‍♀️ And a life 🙄.
Let me share the secrets to actually making this happen with minimal effort. Promise 😘
🍳 This may be against your breakfast religion, but if you’re ok without a runny yolk, make those fried eggs the night BEFORE. On a plate👉fridge👉AM reheat. You’re still gonna love ‘em

🥓 precook your bacon (unless you’re making something fancy) just cook one big batch and freeze (see my full previous IG post about this) it WORKS!

🥑 Ready, willing and able. I like to buy a bag of these at a time...when they are perfectly ripe, pop em in the fridge and they will stay PERFECT for 3-4 more days!
😁 Ingredients all on hand and ready to go. This breakfast sandwich can happen in 5 minutes....Even for this mom with 2 kids/messy house/crazy job/delicious breakfast 😉
