Smoked Salmon Dill Pear Bites

I absolutely love entertaining. As always, I keep things super simple while still staying fun and delicious. These Smoked Salmon Dill Pear Bites fit the bill perfectly. I developed these on a random morning when I forgot my lunch at home and had to stop at the store. I was planning on making my Salmon Salad that week so decided I might as well pick up some dill, smoked salmon, and decided to try to mix it all together with pear. It was fabulous.

With just three ingredients, it’s super easy to make for your next party. Dill pairs wonderfully with seafood, in salad dressings, and of course, with pickles. It is also popular in Mediterranean dishes like tzatziki sauce, a great addition to potato salad and egg salad. I am in the early stages of learning how to use this wonderful herb more often, and I can’t wait to share more recipes with you.

For this recipe, you will only use as much of each ingredient as you need for the party. Basically I’m saying, use your best judgement. For a small dinner party of 6-8 people, 3 pears, 1/2 package of smoked salmon, and a package of fresh dill from the store will be plenty. You’ll have dill left over, so I definitely recommend trying some other recipes while you have it in your fridge. Also, make sure you have plenty of toothpicks. 🙂

Special note: Always read the ingredients on your smoked salmon. I haven’t found a brand that uses gluten yet, but there is always a first.

    My kids would love this – it seems like the perfect combo of salty and sweet (and oh so fancy, but easy to put together).

A low-mold diet is only complicated if you make it A low-mold diet is only complicated if you make it complicated. When you are clear on the basics, you can start making it work for you from there.

I also help you transition off the diet and back into a normal healthy eating lifestyle at the end of the 3 months! Learn more here: https://www.roadtolivingwhole.com/low-mold-diet-guide-meal-plan/

Working from home have you more sedentary than eve Working from home have you more sedentary than ever? You aren't alone!

I'm hearing this from friends and clients alike. They used to get at least 6000 steps in a day and now they are lucky if they get 2000. They are having more hip and back pain too. At the office the bathroom is a lot further away, we had meetings to walk to, lunches, etc. Now literally everything is often on the computer. How does one build movement into your day when there isn't much room to do so? I have a couple of suggestions:

1. Take a 10 minute break every hour or between tasks. Go for a quick walk around your building, do some stretches, go refill your water, do a quick HIIT workout, just get up out of the chair and give your eyes a break. This micro breaks will not only improve your physical wellness, they actually help you be more productive too!
2. Workout during what would have been your commute time. There are a lot of free and paid workout programs out there that are 10-60 minutes long. Replace your would be commute with a workout. There's no reason not to!

These are my suggestions. What have you been doing to include movement into your days?
Spaghetti squash is a great low calorie and nutrie Spaghetti squash is a great low calorie and nutrient dense pasta replacement. It does have a different, sweet flavor that I prefer to pair with a mild spicy sausage or spicy marinara sauce versus pesto or other sweeter sauce.

This quick dinner is just a couple of chicken or pork sausage cooked in the pot with olive oil and garlic, then add in kale and basil leaves plus a couple of cups of cooked and shredded spaghetti squash topped with salt to taste. It's a regular during the fall and winter months.

Healthy fats don't make you fat. Fat has been dem Healthy fats don't make you fat.

Fat has been demonized for years. The popularity of the ketogenic diet has brought it back into fashion, but there's still an innate pull to avoid it.

Did you know that studies since the 1950's have consistently shown that a diet higher in fat and lower in carbs (not ketogenic levels) reduces your appetite while also keeping you satiated? Also, those who eat this way consume 300-600 calories less per day without feeling hungry? Pretty dang cool.

Healthy animal fats are also one of the few sources of nutrients necessary to support the immune system including vitamins, A, D, E, and K2. 

Healthy fats include:
Butter (from pastured animals)
Egg yolks
Fatty fish
Coconut flesh and oil
Olives and olive oil
Avocado and avocado oil
Nuts, seeds, and their butters
Lard and tallow from pastured animals

I like to enjoy 1-2 servings per meal to keep me satiated all day long.
Mold toxicity while rare is often a root cause iss Mold toxicity while rare is often a root cause issue to many other health conditions including
autoimmune disease
migraines
joint pain and swelling
chronic fatigue
systemic pain and inflammation
chronic sinus issues
stubborn GI issues
and many more that nothing seems to help improve

Mold exposure typically happens in the home or office and the constant exposure slowly takes hold in the body. Once it takes hold, it is stubborn and is an extremely long process to get rid of. Typically you find out you have mold in your system through a blood test.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU TEST POSITIVE FOR MOLD
#1 Test your home
If you test positive, then you'll want to get your home tested. If your home has a mold issue, remediation is the best course of action versus trying to take care of it yourself. They will protect your AC system and the rest of your home so that the mold doesn't spread to new areas and continue making you sick.

#2 See a Knowledgeable Doctor
Secondly, you'll need to see a doctor well versed in mold toxicity (like Dr. Geyer) to get on a supplement plan to slowly add-in binding agents and ones to support your intestinal tract, liver, and kidneys during the detox process.

#3 Limit Mold Intake For 3-6 Months
This is where a low mold diet comes into play. You have to limit the number of mycotoxins entering your body through your food for 3-6 months so that you can starve the mold out instead of constantly replenishing it. This is an essential step in recovering from Mold Toxicity/Mold Illness.
I love when simple meets flavorful. Sometimes I'm I love when simple meets flavorful. Sometimes I'm amazed at how delicious just a few ingredients can truly be. This beauty is:
1 bag @traderjoes cauliflower gnocchi
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4 tbsp pesto sauce
1/3 cup sliced sundried tomatoes
1/3 cup kalamata olives
1 cup cooked chicken breast cubed
1 handful arugula

Cook gnocchi according to directions, then add all ingredients except the arugula and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then fold in arugula and let wilt for 1-2 minutes. DONE!

Eating well is simple. It doesn't matter what food Eating well is simple. It doesn't matter what food sensitivities you have, gut issues going on, if you need to eat low mold, low histamine, low oxalate, need to avoid fructose, or have autoimmune disease, this is the foundation. From there it's just tweaks.

This beauty is blanched green beans, preboiled beets, pickled okra, radishes, tuna and power greens blend. I'm seriously addicted. The flavor combo is sooooo good.
