I remember donuts being the ultimate morning treat as a kid. There was a bakery on the way to school that made them the best and we got them while they were still hot and fresh!

However, for me, in this season of my life . . . between the gluten, sugar, and inflammatory oils . . . it’s just not worth it. If I am going to have a sugar treat I usually have it at the end of the day so I can sleep off the brain fog and sugar crash.

My kids have donuts on occasion, but I’d much rather them enjoy this version free of extra sugar. And as bonus for me, it’s gluten and grain free too.

Now, when it comes to baked donuts do not expect this to be anywhere close to the fluffy melt in your mouth donuts you are used to. Just change your expectations right now or you will be very disappointed. This is much more dense and cakey, but fills the desire for a “dessert” type breakfast treat.

I love hosting friends and family for brunch in the spring. Fruits, flowers, and light spritzers provide a fresh escape from winter. My menus usually includes a salad, egg dish, and of course a crumbly muffin or cake. This lemon collagen crumb loaf is perfect for spring breakfast, brunch, or even dessert.

Gluten, grain, dairy, sugar free.

A perfectly cooked chicken breast and crisp vegetables make the perfect healthy dinner with bright flavor and colors.

The lemon caramelizes on the bottom of the pan and adds a complex flavor to this simple dish.

When working with health coaching clients, most often I find they are not eating enough protein consistently throughout the day. This limits their ability to make progress with workouts, maintain hormone balance, and burn body fat. Protein isn’t just for body builders!

Just say no to boring, nutrient void salads! That iceberg lettuce just isn’t adding much to boost your health or build up your body.
