Raw Berry Tart with Vanilla Bean Cashew Cream

-
Hello Friends!

I'm sure those of you back in the states are getting ready for July 4th weekend festivities to include fireworks, BBQ, frosty beverages, friendly faces and a much deserved long weekend. Being so far away it almost escaped me, until I was pleasantly reminded on Facebook that it is indeed a holiday weekend. Instantly, I thought of one of my favorite raw desserts that is perfect for July 4th. It will cool you off, give you some antioxidants (via delicious fresh berries) and provide just the right sweetness to leave your heart and tummy feeling satisfied and content. Imagine a healthy dairy-free version of cheesecake. Does that spark your taste buds? Well this should do the trick. Some of you might have seen it last year on One Medical's blog, so if it's a repeat for you, my apologies. I thought it is well worth being reminded of as it is that good. I think I might have to go out and get the ingredients and make it in honor and celebration of this beautiful holiday. To see the recipe click here. Enjoy the holiday weekend. Travel safe. Eat well. And most of all have fun!

Easy Homemade Bone Broth

"Good broth will resurrect the dead." – South American proverb OK listen up! Homemade bone broth is one of the most nourishing and healing things you can add to your diet. Full stop. I truly can't express this enough. Homemade broth is loaded with minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, collagen and gelatin, which have a vast amount of nutritive and healing properties that I will tell you more about down below. Want to talk about "superfoods"...forget goji berries, insert BONE BROTH. It's truly a healing elixir. Bone broth has been traditionally consumed for years and in a variety of cultures. It is incredibly easy and inexpensive to make, and it taste so much better than store bought stocks that are made with fillers and additives–some even contain MSG! And no, boxed stocks do not contain the powerful healing abilities of homemade broth. Sorry! I can't tell you how many people have told me about their miraculous comebacks from flus, digestive diso

Hi All! Sorry it's been so long! I've been quite the nomad these last few months and I've also been doing a lot of work healing my gut so my cooking has been REALLY simple and a bit boring. I was feeling a little restricted and uninspired so I took a break from posting. Good news is I've made a lot of progress and am continuing to heal so things are starting to get interesting again in the kitchen. Currently, I'm in Hong Kong and the spirit of Thanksgiving is not quite in the air, but you can bet your bottoms that we are celebrating it anyways! We are gathering with a few friends on Saturday so I'm in the midst of planning and preparing a few meals to bring over. I've got a lot of ideas for pies, which I'm sad to say won't be in time for you for Thanksgiving. However, they will be on your radar for Christmas– another festive time for creating healthy and delicious food. Stay tuned. Today, I've got an incredibly simple treat for you. I'v

Get in there and be with it.

Get in there and be with it. All the occurrences and experiences in our lives are shaping us in some form or another. Some times we don't know the rhyme of reason for it all, but over time that challenge, experience or event will have a way of revealing some truth about ourselves to us. So whether you are in the face of uncertainty, battling challenges or perhaps life is unfolding magically for you, just get in there and be with it. Be present with it and see if you can focus solely on what good can come from it. Be grateful. Remember everything is shifting and transforming. Know that Spirit has your back.
