Hi Reader!

Several years ago, my family joined a community garden that is about a five-minute walk from our house. Every couple of days, I walk over to weed, check on the plants, and see what is growing. It gives me a little exercise, some quiet time, and a chance to catch up with neighbors.

This year we are growing lettuce, cucumbers, zucchini, several varieties of tomatoes, and plenty of basil.

There is something incredibly satisfying about watching tiny plants turn into food that eventually makes its way onto our dinner table.

New Recipe: Nut-Free Pesto

One of the reasons I always make sure to grow basil is because we love homemade pesto.

Traditional pesto is often made with pine nuts or other tree nuts, which can make it difficult for families managing food allergies. I recently shared my Nut-Free Pesto recipe, which uses simple ingredients and comes together quickly.

We use it on pasta, sandwiches, grilled chicken, vegetables, and sometimes as a dip.

If you have basil growing in your garden, or simply picked some up at the store, I hope you'll give it a try.

Summer Appointments Available

Summer also brings a few changes to my work schedule.

Beginning June 9, I will be opening additional appointment availability for both new and returning clients.

Whether you're looking for support with food allergies, diabetes, weight management, GLP-1 nutrition, or general nutrition counseling, summer can be a great time to focus on your health goals.

If you've been thinking about scheduling an appointment, I'd love to work with you.

​Schedule an Appointment​

As always, thank you for being here and following along. Whether you have been with me for years or recently joined, I appreciate your support.

Wishing you a healthy and enjoyable summer,
