Testimony of the Day
“In 2001 I felt like crap! Depression, anxiety, exhaustion, adrenal fatigue, hypothyroidism, mononucleosis, candida over growth, Celiac’s disease, and an abundant of other food sensitivities. All unknown at the time. I just knew I hurt mentally, emotional, spiritual, physically, psychologically and I didn’t know why. No one did. I was a full blown vegan.
With Maria’s guidance of supplements and staying 100% compliance to her diet, my gut has finally healed, my emotional health completely stabilized, my acne gone, excess pounds gone, brain fog gone, tired / fatigue gone. I am the healthy image I longed to be. It took time, persistence, patients, and self-discipline. It has been a journey that has paid off! Lacy”

Migraines and Headaches
When clients come to me pleading for help eliminating migraines, I grin because to me it is an easy fix and I know they are going to feel wonderful soon. I have clients wanting me to help eliminate their chronic headaches and migraines all the time. I have lots of tips and tricks up my sleeve so when I started having headaches, I was puzzled. It all started when I decided to see if I were a candidate for LASIK eye surgery (which I am not). The clinic requires you to wear your glasses for a few days which my glasses are a bit weak, but I still wore them for the required time.
Once I heard the bad news that I was not a candidate since my eyes are just too bad (I’m a -11 prescription), I put my contacts back in. That day, my 3 year old was being a typical 3 year old and I blamed my headache on his behavior. But when the headaches continued for the next 3 days, I knew something was wrong. I went to the eye doctor and yep! I was over-prescribed. I was SO ecstatic to go down a 0.5 because that meant I could wear “night and day” contacts (the kind that you can wear for a month without taking out). They don’t make “night and day” in a -11 but they do in a -10.5!!!
Anyway, my point is, there are numerous nutrition reasons for headaches and migraines but one thing that is often over-looked is our eye sight. So when nothing else is working, get your eyes checked! First off, you must add electrolytes. Dehydration and not enough quality salt are main causes of headaches. There are a few other major causes of severe headaches and migraines, and they all can be healed by a well-formulated keto-adapted diet as well as therapeutic doses of vitamins and minerals which you may be deficient in.

I made this tonight for hubby and me. Had it over some roasted green beans. It was very good! I liked the mix of spices in there with the cloves, I could taste them. Not exactly a 90 degree weather dish for here in NC, but enjoyed nonetheless!
Thank you! Glad you liked it. 🙂
I made this the other night. My son looked at it and cried for 30 minutes over it, he is 3. When he finally settled down and took his first bite he chewed it up fast then said “oh, I like this!”
Ha! My boys do the same thing. Good for you for making him try it. 🙂
May I ask why you drain the fat? I thought fat was good… Used to always drain every drop of fat in my low fat days.
You can keep it in if you like. It just might be a little more liquid than the traditional texture. 🙂
Made this tonight, loved the combination of flavors and how easy it was. Left the skin on the zucchini. Thanks for another great recipe for my family, Maria!
Made it and loved it, definitely making this again. Keto comfort food!
Thank you!
I made this tonight for my husband and myself. It was so delicious! I will be making it again. Thank you.
