One night in 1999, I went to sleep as usual. When I awoke, I was blind in my right eye. An MRI confirmed a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
The more I learned about MS, the more convinced I became that I needed to be proactive about my health. About my future. It was two weeks before my thirtieth birthday; if I didn't act to save myself, who would?
The more I learned about health, the more I began to believe that robust health was impossible without real nutrition. I needed to move toward a whole foods diet, preferably one that fit into my busy 21st century lifestyle as a working mom of preschoolers.
Glorious One-Pot Meals are my solution for nutritious and delicious dinners that I can whip together in 20 minutes or less, and then pop into the oven and forget about them until the complete meal is ready 45 minutes later.
Wholesome, well-balanced recipes adjust to feed any number with creative flavors and ingredient combinations. Every ingredient in every recipe is substitutable, meaning that every Glorious One-Pot Meal can be vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, meat-and-potatoes, or however your family likes their food.
Weekly shopping lists and advice on stocking a pantry and freezer for meals in minutes – without needing to remember to thaw meats first! Great for last minute cooks, like me.
I continued to study the link between what we eat and how we feel and became a board-certified traditional Naturopathic Doctor (ND). My food sensitivity clinic is virtual, allowing me to work with clients nationwide on designing customized anti-inflammatory diets to offer relief from chronic physical distress. Additionally, I began the "Fight MS with Food" project to help MS patients fight inflammation through food and change the course of their disease, as I have.
I believe a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet has contributed to my remission since 2002, as I believe it can help other suffering from chronic illness or simply striving for health in our modern environment. Glorious One-Pot Meals offer a quick, easy dinnertime solution for busy people to eat better food more often.
