Healthy Fall & Thanksgiving Treats to Indulge In
Truth be told, I’ve been back and forth with my healthy eating journey. I’ve done Whole30 & paleo for seasons. Then, I’ve jumped more to clean eating.
Sometimes, I’ve fallen off the wagon all together. And that has wreaked havoc on my health.
An upper-body thermography I had this spring revealed I had significant inflammation & auto-immune markers. To which my doctor recommended we try lifestyle solutions first (ALWAYS first!), which included going gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free.
Immediately, my mind started clicking backwards to my paleo days & how I incorporated that diet into my lifestyle.
Incidentally, at the same time, I was also teaching a class at our homeschool co-op to middle schoolers about healthy eating, and each week, I’d bring in a few recipes that were made from ‘healthy swaps.’
So, all that to say, today’s roundup is near & dear to my heart!
I’m convinced of the corruption of the food industry | big pharma | healthcare industry all being in bed together (another rant for another day), so this is my small corner of the internet where I feel like I can fight back.
I share these recipes first as a Christian. We have important work to do for His kingdom – raising our kids, being His hands & feet in our churches & communities… we cannot afford to let health issues get in the way, as long as we have some say in it.
So, that’s my plug for these recipes! And for whatever reason you’re choosing to these healthy, allergy-friendly fall treats recipes, I hope you find lots you enjoy sharing with your people.
These also make outstanding options for healthy Thanksgiving desserts & treats.
Let’s get to it those cookies, cakes, pies, breads, & more!
