Hola Hermosa!
Finding creative, flavorful and easy recipes with no grains, no dairy and no sugar is essential for success when you want to heal your gut. There’s absolutely no reason to be bound to sad plates of meat and veggies night after night! And there’s definitely no reason to settle for less than what your body needs to heal when your health is at stake.
I enjoy a simple meal here and there, yet, often my palette cries out for something with pizazz; something that makes me want to move my hips, drink paleo margarita’s and eat and listen to salsa. That’s why I love this Mexican Chicken “Rice” Bowl! It satisfies my inner Flamenco dancer while tantalizing a need for spice in my life.
Just because you want to eat clean, doesn’t mean you can’t have diversity in your food anymore. All you need to do is learn a new food language and you’ll be off and running with a trail of toxic foods blazing behind you! When you look back, all you’ll see are the foods that were never serving your greatest health in the first place. And when you embrace where you are right now and look forward, all that you’ll see before you will be the mouthwatering, body nourishing and gut healthy food possibilities that your body will love!
