Cooking to heal IBD & Crohn's disease with the SCD Diet. Food as medicine!

04/16/2025

This is what every college kid eats, right?!
Our SCD kids are special and probably far better off from my college staples! 🍕

Just a proud mom post! He’s become a master at a weekly steamed veggie medley. And after reading an incredible autoimmune book - he asked me for a recipe to incorporate more healing turmeric & coriander.

Merry Christmas dear son! 🎄

All he asked for was a cookbook of my easiest and freezable meal prep recipes.

I also outlined the technique I’ve been teaching him to master meal prepping and live on his own 🥹 just so he has it all in writing.

Made with every ounce of my love ❤️

And because you were interested - it’s available in hardcopy (pictured) and downloadable versions. Link in my bio link and found in Stories under ‘cookbook’.

I’ll be gifting these to every young adult in my life. Dear nieces and nephews, you need to know how to cook & meal prep for your best health! SCD or just healthy living!!

By popular demand I’ve added a hard copy spiral bound version of my SCD MEAL PREP COOKBOOK. Thank you all for your support and love of the downloadable version ☺️ I’m loving that people are old school like me and want copy for their shelf 📚

Learn how to become a meal prep master by following my cooking plans for either one day a week or two days a week in the kitchen. Really! It works! I love batch cooking and meal prepping - it’s my saving grace for the SCD DIET and truly ANY healthy eating plan. Beyond any nutrition education I do with groups or clients, this is still the best tool for your best health.

Pictured is a sampling of my homemade healing recipes from the book.

Some of you know I create and can even duplicate food products for the food industry. I finally got around to these highly requested muffins when the previous brand stopped making them 😣 now my freezer is stocked and I use them more than ever!

They are also perfect for Breakfast Egg Sandwiches, sandwich rolls, and the most perfect burger bun. Take them out of the freezer and right into the toaster.

‘Tis back to school season and I thought I’d share our favorite SCD lunch meat alternatives. Obviously SCDers cannot have lunch meat because of illegal additives…but friendly reminder for us all that processed meat, including lunch meat, is still considered Class 1 Carcinogen by the WHO. That includes processed meat that is nitrate/nitrite free (hello bad food marketing…check out my post at on processed meat)
IBDers DO NOT NEED these compounds coming in contact with gut lining. IBDers already have higher risk of some GI cancers, so let’s protect against that!

Please enjoy some healthier lunch options! Lots to choose from here 😊

🍩SCD DONUTS🍩
recipe yields 12 mini

1/4 cup Coconut milk
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup honey
1/8 cup coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup Almond flour
1/4 cup Coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

I linked my donut maker in my stories: LINKS.

Combine all wet ingredients, then add in dry. Batter will be thick. Preheat donut maker for 3 minutes. Butter the molds right before use. Add a heaping tablespoon to each donut mold (my maker says to use 2T batter, but I find that’s too much)
bake for 3 minutes. Remove carefully! No glaze is needed but if you want to take these NEXT LEVEL:

Caramel-like Donut Glaze

1/2 cup Honey
1 1/2 T almond butter
3 T butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Add all to a small saucepan. Bring to boil then down to simmer for about 4-5 minutes. You want honey to be deep amber color. Dip donuts while glaze is hot - you can always re-warm in saucepan. WATCH YOUR FINGERS - from experience - hot honey is REALLY hot! Use two forks or tongs to dip.

🍩 enjoy 🍩
