LUNCH RECIPE—Gluten Free Pasta Salad✨this flavorful dish is easy to prep ahead of time, store in the fridge to have ready-to-eat OR on-the-go for lunch!

Ingredients:
-Gluten free bow-tie pasta (Jovial)🎀
-1/4 lb of thin sliced BEEF salami (cut-up)
-2 mini cucumbers peeled + diced
-1 bell pepper diced
-1/4 cup of shredded carrots
-Shredded fresh parmesan
-Organic raw white cheddar (cut to small cubes)
-Balsamic vinaigrette
-Sea salt, pepper and fresh or dried herbs to taste (parsley or Italian seasoning)

**Make sure to rinse the noodles with cold water and strain after cooking so they don’t stick together in the salad

I choose raw cheddar because the enzymes make it easier to digest and it can be more nourishing than conventional cheeses. Raw cheddar is rich in gut-healthy bacteria, protein, healthy fats, enzymes and calcium. Raw cheddar is also a great source of vitamin K🐮

We also prefer the BEEF salami vs pork. A high-quality Salami that is fermented can also contribute to gut health by providing beneficial bacteria. It also has protein, fats, and micronutrients like zinc and B vitamins.

Thai Shrimp Stir-Fry w/Tequila Lime🍤It’s gluten-free, and similar to the Thai Chicken recipe, but used some different ingredients. Restaurant-quality meal at home.

Ingredients:
-1 package of rice noodles
-2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
-1 tablespoon of plant-based butter
-About 20 mini shrimp
-2 organic eggs; scrambled
-Splash of plant-based milk
-1/2 red bell pepper, sliced thinly
-2 green onion stalks, finely chopped
-1/4 cup dry roasted peanuts
-Handful of fresh cilantro or dry cilantro seasoning
-1 tbs Tequila Lime seasoning
-1 garlic clove or 1 tsp garlic powder

Sauce:
3 Tablespoons coconut aminos
1 Tbs soy sauce or “no-soy” sauce
2 Tbs light brown sugar
1 Tbs rice vinegar
1 Tbs of water (optional to thin out)
Salt, pepper + paprika to taste
(Mix in a bowl)

* Boil water. Cook rice noodles based on package directions. Strain and rinse well under cool water and separate so they don’t stick together and residue washes away. 

* Mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside for later. 

* Heat the butter in a large pan or wok with medium heat. Add the shrimp (season with garlic, salt/pepper and Tequila Lime) cook on each side about 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

-In same pan as shrimp or new pan sear thinly sliced red peppers and peanuts until start to brown.

* In a small pan add olive oil and the eggs (whisked with the milk for better texture) scramble the eggs and chop them into smaller chunks with a spatula as they cook.

* Combine rice noodles and sauce along with the eggs, shrimp and veggies. Mix everything to combine.

* Add rice noodles, shrimp, veggie and egg mixture to small bowls to serve. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, green onions, peanuts, and optional—lime wedges. Drizzle additional sauce or hot sauce to taste.

TIPS: I get the mini shrimp from Whole Foods...they don’t have it on display this time of year, but if you ask they usually have some in back frozen.

The clock is TICK-ing when it comes to Lyme Disease. Early detection and treatment are so important!! If you don’t make time for Lyme, it’ll take your time down the road...4.5 years of my family’s life.

When you get tested fast + effectively with you can get treated sooner and protect your health!! Because when Lyme disease goes undetected it can impact every organ and system in the body, and often cause many years of pain, suffering and disability.

Did you know over 500,000 cases of Lyme disease will be diagnosed in the US in 2021? Make sure that you are up-to-date on preventative measures to protect you and your family! See below⬇️

-Cover-up in grassy and wooded areas by wearing long socks and long sleeves.

-Use a good insect repellant like and don’t forget to reapply if you’re out for longer than six hours.

-Check yourself and your loved ones for ticks after spending time outdoors. Even your backyard, ticks can be anywhere.

-If you DO find a tick, make sure to properly remove it with tweezers, save in a baggie, and send to Igenex for testing.

-Seek prompt medical care if you suspect yourself or a loved one has Lyme and use an effective test like Igenex as the standard C-D-C test misses many cases (such as my own.)
