Our Autumn Adventure Picnic Menu!

We went on an autumn expedition yesterday!  

Golden leaves, orange pumpkins, blue sky, bicycles and friends… and a picnic lunch!

Here’s what I packed:

Veggie sticks and almond butter

• A jar of local, raw fermented pickles (with plenty of onions!)

• Tortillas

• Cashew cheese, smoked salmon (no sugar added), sliced turkey, avocado and cilantro sprouts for filings

• Raw figs, plantain chips, coconut-cooked sweet potato chips for snacks

• Raw, honey-sweetened chocolate for treats, and plenty to share!

• All gluten-free and dairy-free and delicious.

Here’s how it went:

Yum!  When I asked how everyone was enjoying lunch, our 6-year-old friend said, “I would be eating a little faster except I don’t really like avocado, and I’m only eating it because it’s good to try things.”  LOL - I was impressed!  And promptly removed the avocado :)

As we finished up lunch, I overheard some other mamas chatting at another table:

…he said “I want to try the no-dairy” so we’ve been doing it for a week, and his stomach doesn’t hurt anymore!  He’s falling asleep fine now.  But I’m a vegetarian!  Maybe he’ll be able to eat cheese.  Someone asked us about gluten, so we did all the testing for celiac and it looks like he doesn’t have it… 

That set a few thoughts bouncing around in my head, including:

YES!  I love hearing other people talking about how they can give their kids more health and happiness by being thoughtful about food!  

YES!  If a kid has an immune and inflammatory reaction to dairy, they WILL have a reaction to dairy-containing cheese!

YES!  Try a 4 week 100% elimination of gluten for your child, because while some tests give you great information, the ultimate answer is in your child’s reaction to gluten!  (and YES everyone experiences increased intestinal permeability after ingesting gluten, i.e. leaky gut!)

But I kept my thoughts to myself, cleaned up lunch, and got the kids on their bikes for the next leg of our adventure.

After all, I’m not a children’s gut health evangelist!  

I only coach my clients.  

Because when you choose to heal your child - when you do what it takes to change the trajectory of your child’s life - I give you 100% of my support.

I’m completely devoted to the mamas who work with me - and I’m devoted to their kids.

Right now, I have an opening in my private coaching calendar.

I can't wait to meet you and get started!
