Ingredients

1 Pie or Sugar Pumpkin

Olive or Avocado Oil

Directions

Step 1 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2 Wash pumpkin, cut in half and scoop out the seeds.

Step 3 Place the pumpkin on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Step 4 Use a fork to poke holes in the rind so heat/steam can escape.

Step 5 Drizzle the inside with olive or avocado oil (optional).

Step 6 Pop in the oven and bake for 40 – 50 minutes – until the inside is soft and pulls away from the rind.

Step 7 Puree in a blender for use in pies and muffins. Add a few tablespoons of water if extra moisture needed.

Tada! Freshly roasted pumpkin is so versatile in a variety of recipes – we love it in stuffing and muffins Links to those recipes below!

If you’re feeling hungry an hour after breakfast… dealing with mid-morning cravings… or crashing before lunch — there’s a good chance you’re not getting enough protein in the morning.

Protein is one of the biggest keys to:
✨ Better blood sugar control
✨ More stable energy
✨ Feeling satisfied after meals
✨ Fewer cravings later in the day
✨ Supported hormone + appetite regulation

And if you’re dairy-free or navigating food sensitivities?
It can feel extra hard to hit those protein goals — which is why I help my clients tailor recipes to the foods their body tolerates best.

This high-protein egg bake is one of my favorites because it’s:
✔ Dairy-free
✔ Easy to prep ahead
✔ Customizable for low-histamine needs
✔ And you can BOOST the protein even more without changing the taste

Want simple, nourishing, holiday-friendly recipes like this?

Did you know that the state you’re in when you get on the table highly affects your gut health? We all know stress can mess with our heads, but what you may not be aware of is its impact on gut health! In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, stress has become an unwelcome companion, affecting both our mental and physical health, including gut health and immune system. The gut, often referred to as our “second brain,” is highly attuned to the signals from our central nervous system, and stress disrupts this communication, leading to negative outcomes from altered gut motility to changes in the composition of the gut microbiota 😩So next time you sit down for a meal, take a deep breath and leave the stress at the door. 🚪Mindful eating with a calm mind allows your gut to do its job effectively, keeping you feeling happy and healthy from the inside out! 💚Want to learn more about gut health and stress management?

Chewing your food thoroughly isn’t just a “mindful eating” tip — it literally gives your gut a head start on digestion and nutrient absorption (and may help reduce intestinal permeability — aka leaky gut).

This is one of the simplest (but most overlooked!) habits I work on with my clients in both my one-on-one and group sessions.
