I’m sure everyone is used to starting off the new year with a specific diet to try and lose weight. This will maybe go on for a month or two before we get tired of it and lose our “beginning of the year” motivation. As a chef of Whole Health Everyday, I want people to focus more on long term wellness of their body and not just a diet that will make them lose weight fast, but then gain it back once they get tired of the diet they are on. Instead of making a plan to follow a fad diet that is very restrictive, this New Year, make a resolution to break the dieting cycle. Create a nourishing, sustainable, eating pattern that works for you that will be reasonable to stick with long-term. This way, you could stick with this eating habit on vacations, during the holidays, and at any party or event. ​

No matter what your holidays look like this year, they're probably still stressful and stress has extremely negative effects on your health. Now's a great time to try something different and what could be more fun than goat yoga?

With fancy baked goods every where you turn this time of year, it's nice to have a slightly healthier classic to bring to the party. These chocolate chip cookies are gluten free and can be made with or without dairy butter. And you can make them ahead of time, roll the dough into balls and freeze them to take out and only bake as many as you need!

One of Chef Courtney's culinary specialties is cooking for the keto diet. She has honed her knowledge and expertise in this area and has come up with a proven weight loss diet. In fact, she currently is cooking for a client who has lost 15 pounds in 2 months while on this diet!

Starting new traditions this holiday season? Try Chef Frances's Romesco Shrimp Crostini with an original cilantro oil as an appetizer. It's simple enough for anyone to try to make and everyone will enjoy it!

Comfort food is only comforting while you're eating it. That's why one of our passions is recreating classic meals so they can comfort you long after you've cleared your plate. Chef Carley's vegan lasagna uses homemade zucchini noodles and a fresh dairy-free ricotta cheese so you can have an amazing pasta meal that won't upset your body afterwards.

Chef Corey's garlic rosemary hasselback potatoes are a clear and simple guide to this versatile twist on the baked potato! Bonus - you can switch out the white potato for a sweet potato for less sugar and more nutrients. 

These health benefits may surprise you, even if you have houseplants already! And if you don't, you'll want some after reading this.
