Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a metal loaf pan with coconut oil; set aside. Place the pumpkin, eggs, oil, and oat milk in a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, blend until creamy. In a medium mixing bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Add the dry ingredients into the wet, and mix thoroughly until smooth. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with Super seed blend (Trader Joes makes this – or you can make your own, mix together 1 teaspoon chia, 1 teaspoon hemp, 1 teaspoon flax, 1 teaspoon millet, 1 teaspoon amaranth). Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out dry and center is set. Allow to cool in the pan before removing to a wire rack. Slice when completely cooled.

Colorful Couscous Salad

Eating the 🌈 is the daily mantra that helps us achieve optimal nutritional balance. Think of this approach as mother nature’s multivitamin- all the colors found in various vegetables, fruits, spices and herbs represent different phytonutrients and phytochemicals that offer a myriad of benefits for the body. Aim to add more color and variety to daily intake as often as possible- the microbiome will flourish with diversity, and the immune system will strengthen as a result. 

Here is a colorful salad that incorporates whole wheat cous cous, dried cranberries and golden raisins, red cabbage, carrots and a turmeric dressing. A mix of sweet, salty, crunch, it’s a delicious side dish that will add more color and nutrient density to a family lunch or dinner. Plus the added turmeric spice lends lots of color and anti inflammatory goodness to the mix! Enjoy…
