Simple and Easy GF/DF Pumpkin Spice French Toast
Let’s talk breakfast food. What is better than a plate of French toast in the morning. Nothing! But the problem for me was that most restaurants and brunch spots carried French toast that didn’t align with my health goals. So instead of just never eating French toast, I decided to create my own. I think a lot of people hold this idea that the “healthy” version isn’t going to be as good as the “unhealthy” version. And that is definitely true with some recipes out there, but my goal here is to give you guys recipes that taste just as good, and even better than the original. I am a…

My Journey with Food Sensitivities and Gut Health + Where I’m at Today
Throughout high school, I was eating semi-healthy. I was playing high school and club soccer, so I was extremely active and in very good shape. Food wasn’t something I ever thought deeply about. I pretty much would eat whatever was in my house or what the cafeteria at school had. I definitely wasn’t eating the healthiest I could have, but I would say I ate more or less 50% healthy. Right after high school, I had stopped playing soccer and was not active whatsoever. Soccer was never something I did for the exercise; it was always because I genuinely enjoyed it and when it was no longer a part of…
