Dr. Sina’s Blog
Welcome to my blog!
I share my thoughts on food, health, natural medicine, stress reduction, and disease reversal with a keen focus on providing practical solutions that everyone can incorporate into their daily lives.
Chili in a Hurry (with Vegan Option)
When I’m in a hurry or feel overwhelmed, this is one of my “go to” recipes! With only 5 minutes of prep work, I can feed my family a nutrient dense, filling meal. And it’s so versatile! Choose your beans, spices, and protein source based on your body’s needs!
For example, you can add beef, turkey, chicken, or pork. Alternatively, turn the chili vegan by adding more vegetables, such as: butternut squash or sweet potato. Bulk it up with red bell peppers, carrots, celery, or whichever vegetables you desire or have laying around in the kitchen.
I particularly enjoy this chili on cold days when I crave warming foods.
Soft Gingerbread Cookies
You know how chefs have signature dishes? This is my “signature cookie!”
These gingerbread cookies are so soft and tasty that your friends won’t know they are grain-free and packed with a prebiotic! In fact, my kids love these cookies so much that I have to hide them in the freezer or they will be devoured in one day! Ha!
I’ve provided 2 recipe options below. One option mimics a typical gingerbread cookie. I recommend choosing this first option when sharing these cookies with friends and family. The second option is a “medicinal cookie,” which contains less sugar and more healing nutrients.
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies (Grain-Free with AIP Option)
Every birthday, Christmas, and Father’s day, my kids and I make these cookies for my husband and he NEVER tires of them! Even though they are grain-free, they are delicious! My friends say they taste “just like regular cookies.” Score!
Mango Guacamole (Creamy or Chunky)
This guacamole is a family favorite! It’s nutrient dense, packed with flavor, and takes less then 10 minute to make!
I sometimes eat this guacamole by the spoonful. I also turn carrots or cucumber slices into “healthy chips” and use them as “guacamole delivery vehicles.” : )
As always, choose organic when possible and ask your body if it wants each ingredient.
