Read MoreTrue story... When I was preggers with baby #2, I had the strangest food aversions and cravings. I could NOT stomach sparkling water (shocking for a girl who drinks it daily). And yet I would take any break I had between patients to wolf tomato, lettuce & egg salad sandwiches. And I didn’t think I even LIKED egg salad.
Fast forward more than a decade and I am still not a fan of egg salad. Except for THIS egg salad! The mayonnaise-laden mixtures of my youth have been replaced with a not-so-pretty but much healthier, more satisfying and tastier version using smashed avocado.

Read MoreBircher muesli was first developed circa 1900 by a Swiss doctor and nutritionist, Maximilian Bircher-Brenner. It is still a popular breakfast in Switzerland, where I first encountered it.

Read MoreThis is a delicious, grain-free, paleo & keto version of muesli.
Muesli differs from granola in that it is a mixture of raw cereals (most often oats), dried fruit, seeds and nuts, whereas granola is baked. Muesli is typically soaked with dairy or nondairy milk, yogurt, or fruit juice before eating to make it easier to chew and digest. It's super easy to throw a big batch together as part of meal prep and then have on-hand for a couple weeks.
