Just posted the recipe for my creamy Morning Oatme Just posted the recipe for my creamy Morning Oatmeal with Coconut Milk on my blog. (Click link in bio and search “oatmeal”.) I make a big batch for the week and add my toppings fresh every day. I love a hot breakfast to comfort and ground me for the day ahead. Also, this is a great way to get in some nutrition-packed seeds like chia and flax seeds. They’re high in anti-inflammatory omega-3s and help regulate estrogen levels thanks to the phytoestrogens. It’s crucial we incorporate these foods to fight breast and ovarian cancer. #oatmeal #antiinflammatorydiet #comfortfood #chiaseeds #almondbutter #healthybreakfast #cancerfightingfoods
Yesterday marked 8 years of marriage with this won Yesterday marked 8 years of marriage with this wonderful man. I’m always sensitive to social media posts that make it sound like I have the perfect life. Let’s be honest, marriage is hard. Raising a family is hard. It takes persistence and patience and includes just as many downs as there are ups. I’m grateful to be with a partner who is fully present with me, supports me in my dreams and aspirations, and pushes us to strive to be better in all aspects of life. This is love.
The chia in these cookies makes them so unique, be The chia in these cookies makes them so unique, because it adds a layer of chewiness that feels so satisfying to chew. I can’t explain it - just try it! They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and made with coconut sugar, which has higher trace minerals, antioxidants and fiber than refined sugar. Buuuuut, I would definitely still classify these as a treat and not a “health food.” I know this because my entire family keeps asking for more 😁 Chocolate Chip Chia Cookies Recipe Makes 20-24 cookies 1 tbsp chia seeds 3 tbsp water 1 cup fine almond flour 1/3 cup coconut flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp sea salt + more for sprinkling 6 tbsp coconut oil, just softened, not melted 3/4 cup coconut sugar 7 tbsp almond butter 1.5 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (I used mini Enjoy Life chips) In a small bow, mix the chia seeds and water. Let sit while you do the rest. In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients (flours, baking soda, sea salt). In another bowl, beat the coconut oil with the sugar for 1 minute. Add the “chia egg” and beat 30 seconds. Stir in almond butter and vanilla. Stir dry ingredients with wet ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 30 minutes so coconut oil has a chance to harden. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. Form dough into 1-1.5 inch balls and flatten to about 1/4” thick with the palm of your hand. Sprinkle with a little more sea salt, and bake for 10-14 minutes or until no longer wet on the inside. Note, they will be super soft, so just let them cool completely before enjoying.

Let’s be honest, most days by 4pm I want a marga Let’s be honest, most days by 4pm I want a margarita. And when this whole SIP started, I found myself reaching for it more days than not because I thought “you deserve this.” But I reminded myself what I tell my patients. Alcohol causes reflux, messes with your first sleep cycle, makes it harder to say yes to that morning workout, and means your liver enzymes will be busy detoxing alcohol and not the usual daily metabolic buildup. Plus, I’m definitely short tempered the day after alcohol. So with some determination, I’ve swapped my weekday cocktails for the following: -coconut water -ginger kombucha -grapefruit spindrift -this green juice (recipe below) You better believe at 4pm on Friday (and Saturday) I’m making the real deal. Happy Hour Green Juice 2 stalks celery 1 cucumber 1/2 lemon (with peel) 1/4 in knob of ginger 1 inch knob of turmeric Dash of black pepper Reminder: I’m still offering my initial nutrition consultations at a huge discount ($75 vs the usual $250). I’m planning to keep prices low next month too, but not this low! So grab one of my remaining May slots here: http://jessicamarcusrd.com/workwithme/ #nutritionist #functionalmedicine #greenjuice #wahlsprotocol #autoimmunediet #antiinflammatorydiet #mocktails
Some days I’m heavy with sadness for all that’ Some days I’m heavy with sadness for all that’s been lost - play dates, planned trips, date nights, girls nights, family visits. So many lives lost. So many political stones tossed. Yet it’s been a gift to be pushed off the hamster wheel of life, shed the veil of distraction, take some long walks, sit with our frustrations, fight, make-up, deepen our relationships with one another. What a moment in time.

Who wants lasagna leftovers? 🙋‍♀️ I’ve Who wants lasagna leftovers? 🙋‍♀️ I’ve been working on this Lasagna Bolognese for the past couple weeks and am finally ready to share it with you. My version is gluten free, dairy free but could also be made the traditional way (with regular lasagna noodles and whole milk). This recipe requires a bit more love, but it’s so worth it! http://jessicamarcusrd.com/lasagna-bolognese-gluten-free-dairy-free/ #lasagna #glutenfree #dairyfree #quarantinerecipes #antiinflammatorydiet
Simone turned 2 this week. I struggle to find the Simone turned 2 this week. I struggle to find the words to describe how much she means to us. She’s sweet, smart, snuggly, sassy, strong, beautiful and hilariously funny. She fills every day with so much joy. Her big bros are mush around her (and her Papi too!!) I want to both freeze time and witness all of the magic that is to come. Happy Birthday Simone! We love you so so much!!

These dark chocolate peanut butter cups will give These dark chocolate peanut butter cups will give you something to look forward to in about 20 minutes. 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips 1/2 cup peanut butter 1 1/2 Tbsp maple syrup 1 Tbsp coconut flour 1 Tbsp coconut oil 1 tsp vanilla 1/4 tsp sea salt Melt chocolate chips (either double boil method or 30 seconds at a time in the microwave). In a separate bowl, mix the PB, maple syrup, coconut flour, coconut oil, vanilla and sea salt. Scoop PB mixture into a plastic bag and cut a half inch off the bottom corner. Use a spoon to drizzle chocolate into mini cupcake molds. (I used silicone, but the mini papers would be even better.) Squeeze out a 1/2 inch dollop of the PB mix. Give each cup a gentle swirl. Freeze at least 20 minutes before devouring. You could swap in almond butter, regular flour, butter if you don’t have any of the above.

It’s breezy and brisk in NorCal today. This lent It’s breezy and brisk in NorCal today. This lentil soup has been on repeat for the last few months, varying a little each time. Here’s the gist: 1.5 cups french lentils 1 yellow onion 2 celery stalks 2 carrots 4 cloves garlic 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves 4 cups veg broth (or water) 1 tsp salt Black pepper Dash of cayenne Finely chop the veggies. Heat a big soup pot over med-high. Add a swirl of avocado oil. Sauté onion, celery and carrot about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add lentils, broth and thyme. Simmer 20 mins. Add salt and pepper. Optional: add torn kale and a big squeeze of lemon, and turn off the heat. I soak my lentils 1-2 days so they sprout. This step is totally optional, but it does eliminate most of the lectins which can cause inflammation for some people. #antiinflammatorydiet #wahlsprotocol #mediterraneandiet #functionalmedicine #foodismedicine #easysoup #immuneboosting #autoimmunediet #soup
