Churros con Chocolate (adapted from Sweet Laurel)

Makes 16 bars

I teamed up with the incredible ladies over at Sweet Laurel. They have an amazing grain-free, health-focused (anti-inflammatory) cookbook that you definitely need to add to your repertoire. If you are ever in Los Angeles you have to treat yourself to one of their goodies. I took this baked churro recipe and made it keto and adapted it a bit, but they are 100 percent responsible for the deliciousness. This recipe is going to be a winner for having people over for a cold night over the holidays.

Spice up your VIDA with my new spices!

If you know me you know quality is a huge factor in anything I put in, on or around my body. From food to my sheets, it’s all about reducing toxins and increasing the good guys that boost our immune system, especially right now. Spices are not all created equal. Just like how you choose organic local veggies, wild-caught fish, grass-fed meats, it is same same. Have you ever considered your spice cabinet could be filled with toxins, heavy metals, GMOs, rancid ingredients, and inflammatory toxins?

The Skinny with Lauryn on Pregnancy, Fasting, Cravings, Keto, and Supplements

I am so excited to share an amazing interview with someone who introduced me to the world of blogging. I was able to connect with Lauryn and get the inside from the The Skinny Confidential, , whom I've been lucky enough to know for many years, about her nutrition and pregnancy journey. She's a badass entrepreneur, soon-to-be-mommy and someone who I look up to. We discussed morning routines, vitamins she's taking, her personal journey to getting pregnant, cravings, and her birth plan (or no plan) all topics that I talk about in more detail in my Mexican Keto Cookbook.

Keto "Granola"

Prep Time: 1 hour
Serves: 8

Breakfast is a topic that I talk a lot about with my clients. I find that people feel they have to eat breakfast and usually it consists of sugar and carbs when you actually should be eating fat and protein. Do not even get me started on breakfast cereals that people are feeding their kiddos. Have you seen this post, read the first 4 on what companies like Kellogg are doing to harm us and our kids.

Taqueria Style Pickled Jalapenos and Carrots

This recipe is one from my upcoming Mexican Keto Cookbook. A tease to see what’s coming and one of my favorites!

Every taco shop has the classic spicy, crunchy carrots and jalapenos in their salsa bar. I am guilty of being the person to fill the salsa container to the brim, and snack on them until the tacos are ready. This at-home version is something I love to have on hand for friends that come over and want a snack. You can eat them all by themselves, add them on top of a taco, or serve as a condiment to your summer grilling.

Raw Paleo Strawberry Cheesecake

Prep Time: 2 hours with soaking and freezing
Cook Time: it's RAW
Serves: 10

Who doesn’t love cheesecake? Well, my stomach doesn't, way to much cream and sugar leaves me feeling … ya gross. I decided to use strawberries as the base since they came in my CSA box, but feel free to sub in your favorite fruit or keep it plain with just vanilla. Feel free to cook the crust if you do not want it chewy, but then it's not raw anymore :)

Summer Superfood Smoothie

This smoothie is very nutrient dense but you would never know it! Packing in good fats, anti-aging collagen protein to help gut health and your hair, skin and nails, and sneaking in some veggies. I love using smoothies as a way to pack in all these healthy ingredients into one meal.
