Hazelnut Pumpkin Pancakes
Alright. So let’s talk about breakfast food. Are you a fan? Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I prefer to have a savory breakfast. Growing up I always preferred savory over sweet breakfast. That’ how we ate breakfast in my country, Poland. We ate eggs, veggies, potatoes, cheese, sausage, and some fermented food. So most of the time this how my breakfast looks. Sometimes though I must admit, I carve some sweeter version. Fluffy pumpkin pancakes and crapes are my absolute weakness. These pumpkin pancakes are super yummy and fluffy as pancakes made with regular flour. What […]
Almond Poppy Seed Bread
Lemon poppy seed muffins or bread! I love this recipe because it is so easy! This combination of ingredients has always worked so well for me. I experimented with different grain free flour and this time I used almond flour. The grated lemon zest adds a nice hint of citrus and the poppyseed gives the bread some crunch I like. Every bite of this low carb Lemon Poppyseed will stay in your memory. Nutritious poppy seeds, buttery almond flour and hint of lemon create a pure and honest treat. I enjoy having a piece for breakfast or lunch. It is […]
Green Plantains Pancakes
Green plantains are very popular ingredients in African and South American and African cuisines, but it is now readily available in health food groceries stores around the United States. I buy them mostly at Whole Foods, but I’ve seen them at Natural Groceries and Safeway too. Plantains belong to the banana family. They are less sweet (especially when green), and they contain less starch than their banana cousin. I like to use plantain in my recipes because they are an extremely versatile ingredient. I use it as a fruit or as a vegetable, depending on its stage of […]

Hormones a Hot Mess?
I remember when my hormones were a hot mess. I was told to add flaxseeds. O am so thankful I did. Let me share with you why I love flaxseeds. Flaxseeds, also called linseeds, are a rich wellspring of micronutrients, dietary fiber, manganese, vitamin B1, and the fundamental unsaturated fat alpha-linolenic corrosive, otherwise called ALA or omega-3. Flaxseeds have served as nourishment for around 6,000 years and were more than likely the first superfood. Their benefits are numerous: enhanced assimilation, clear skin, decreased cholesterol, decreased sugar desires, adjusted hormones, and advance weight reduction. Flaxseed contains a […]

The recipes are simple and super easy to make. Soak nuts, blend in the vita mix with seasonings to flavor, wrap in cheesecloth to absorb liquid, and chill […]
Delicious Pumpkin Latte
Fall has arrived, and pumpkins are in season, so I decided to make a pumpkin latte. I know when you go to Starbucks you will get the pumpkin latte with coffee, but this version is without one because coffee is not so great for our hormones. I have never been a fan of Starbucks itself nor of their lattes. The drinks are a way to sweet for me, loaded with artificial flavorings, not organic and dairy-based. The Pumpkin Latte I made for you contains all organic ingredients, no artificial anything, fresh spices, dandelion root, Chaga mushrooms, […]
Breakfast for energy, weigh loss and balanced hormones.
Are you struggling with not having enough energy, blood sugar rollercoaster and hormones all over the place? I will show you how to make a healthy breakfast so you can banish all those issues! I know that a lot of people are struggling with not knowing what to eat for breakfast. Most of us are thinking that our breakfast is “healthy,” but in reality, we are consuming breakfast high in sugar. This kind of food is not nourishing, and it is not satisfying. To the contrary believe we grow up with breakfast doesn’t have to be full of […]
My favorite berry smoothie!
Oh, the smell of the forest from my childhood is still so fresh in my memory. The mushroom picking and berry picking were my favorite summer activities. I miss it so much… As kids, we used to wait for school to end so the summer food extravaganza can start! We used to go and play in the forest, full of abundance, new fruits, new smells, and animals. Both fed my soul as well as my belly! Running around and playing in the forest and eating were my favorite things to do as a child. Coming back for berry picking, […]
Best Foods to Eat For Breakfast When You’re in Menopause
During menopause women tend to gain weight. While this isn’t great it’s pretty common and there are many reasons why. Two reasons why women gain weight during menopause… Reason #1 Reduced muscle mass. Muscle mass uses energy (burns calories) so when we have less of it the body burns less energy overall, leading to weight gain. Unfortunately, this weight gain may appear as increased belly fat. Reason #2 During menopause, there is an increase in the hunger hormone “ghrelin”. With an increase in this hormone comes the tendency to feel hungrier. Menopause also decreased the “satiety” hormone “leptin” […]
