The key to maintaining any kind of diet or lifestyle is making it easy (or at least not seeming like its a ton of work). I do love to cook more elaborate, fancy things, but a lot of the time you really need something you can just throw together in 10 minutes. These are aContinue reading “Quick and Easy Breakfast (or lunch or dinner)”

Nut Milk
Starting the anti-inflammatory diet I have been mostly just drinking water, but occasionally almond milk or coconut milk. I don’t really like the texture of most of them, and they generally have added sugar and flavor, so when one of my friends mentioned that she makes her own almond milk I was intrigued. I hadContinue reading “Nut Milk”
Ginger Orange Beet Salad
As you have or will notice I eat a lot of salad, and even when I’m not specifically making salad I usually throw whatever I have make on top of some spinach or lettuce or arugula. This is both because it is good to have a combination of fresh and cooked veggies since you processContinue reading “Ginger Orange Beet Salad”
Delicious Basil Pesto
We eat a lot of pesto at our house. It is great for all kinds of things, eat it as a main dish or side with pasta, or anti-inflammatory “pasta” such as zucchini or spaghetti squash, make salad dressing or add it as a flavoring for sandwiches or eggplant, tomato, pesto bites (my replacement forContinue reading “Delicious Basil Pesto”
Black Bean Burgers
Black bean burgers are a delicious, versatile and protein and fiber rich lunch or dinner. I’ll talk about 3 different cooked toppings I made, but they are just as tasty with simple burger toppings such as tomato, lettuce, salsa and guac (mustard can be ok too as long as there isn’t added sugar which canContinue reading “Black Bean Burgers”

Mine definitely didn’t look as pretty, but sure was tasty. Start by grating up about 1 tbs each of peeled fresh ginger andContinue reading “Ginger Turmeric Latte”
Anti-Inflammatory Basics
It seems many of the symptoms people feel that don’t really have a diagnosis in western medicine – what many call thyroid problems, or adrenal fatigue or non-specific auto-immune conditions – basically symptoms that consist of fatigue, brain fog, achiness, joint pain, other chronic pain, digestive issues (heartburn, irritable bowel, constipation, etc) weight gain orContinue reading “Anti-Inflammatory Basics”
Anti-inflammatory Adventure
Taking care of people in Boulder, I have a lot of patients who have gone gluten free or dairy free or something-else-free, not because they are allergic but because they just feel better. It makes sense…a lot of what causes disease, asthma, allergies, chronic pain, gastrointestinal disease, is related to an overactive inflammatory response, andContinue reading “Anti-inflammatory Adventure”
