Although it’s still warm here in New York, fall is right around the corner, which means cooler weather and heartier meals. For us food-sensitive people, heart meals can be troublesome because they often include dairy, gluten or other common allergens; therefore it’s easy for us to feel left out!

The beauty of this soup is that you can add virtually anything to

“Protein can only be found in animal based sources, right?” Nope! Plants contain protein too! This question is one of the most common questions I get from clients- regarding where to find protein in plant-based sources—simply, it’s everywhere!

Taco night is one of my favorite nights of the week– especially when taco night is gluten and dairy free as well as low in carbs (and paleo… without the beans)!

Tuna salad is one of my favorite quick and easy go to’s. It can be made in under five minutes and although sometimes can be made using less-healthy ingredients (like lots of mayonnaise), some others- like this one, can be made mayo-free, and with clean and healthy ingredients. Tuna is high in protein while being lower in fat and calories. Tuna is

This is a classic dish that has had a major makeover! Instead of using pasta, I used a Paleo-friendly, gluten-free, dairy-free noodle- the spaghetti squash.
