Leek and Potato Soup will warm you up.

As the weather gets colder, we crave comfort food at our house. Leeks and potatoes just seem to go together, don’t they? We love Leek and Potato Soup, which we make every fall. This simple soup is vegan and super tasty, especially when garnished with a few homemade croutons. Of course, because of my food sensitivities, I use gluten free bread when I make the croutons….

Good food can more than nourish you, it can heal you. Thank goodness! Because I developed several health issues a few years ago. I learned I had food sensitivities and what a pain (literally) that is. Food choices helped me heal my gut and my heart. How? I’ll tell you in a minute.

Since October is National Pork Month and it is my favorite meat, I’ll be posting a few good pork recipes. Though I’d like to live on pork, health is more about variety, vegetables and greens. So watch for some delicious vegetarian recipes, too, because it’s also National Vegetarian Awareness Month.

And at the end of the month, watch for my new book talking about my healing story, featuring 30 fall and winter recipes, and giving you some tools to figure out what foods might be causing you trouble….
