Thai Coconut Noodle Bowl
Thai Coconut Noodle Bowl ⁣

Last week Tim made this delicious noodle bowl for us with some great edits! This dish was flavorful, filling and pretty easy too! We've been blessed to not have too many shortages in terms of food at our Chicago Whole Foods so cooking more plant meals has been fun and exciting 🙂⁣

Recipe: ⁣
Serves 1 (so Tim tripled it for his appetite level😉)⁣

1 tsp coconut oil⁣
2 tbsp red chopped red onion⁣
1/3 cup full-fat canned coconut milk⁣
1 tsp Thai red curry paste (Tim created a version of a red curry paste that included cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper and bunches of turmeric) ⁣
1 tsp ginger (this called for fresh grated ginger but honestly we find if we buy this not only does it cost more $ but it often goes bad and is a pain to grate compared to just using Ginger vitality essential oil)⁣
1 tsp tamari ⁣
1 cup of zucchini noodles⁣
1 bag of stir fry veggies frozen⁣
1 cup of vegetable broth⁣
Basil (again we used Basil vitality essential oil because without fail every time I buy basil it goes bad and I really don't like food waste!) ⁣
Lime juice (and for the third time, we used Lime vitality essential oil because often you have to buy a bag of limes and they end of going bad too! plus the ease of tipping a bottle into a pot vs having to juice a lime I'll take any day)⁣

Chop onion, add in coconut oil and frozen veggies to saute in the pot. Then add in zucchini noodles, veggie broth, coconut milk, curry paste, Tamari, essential oils and spices.⁣

Enjoy!

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
