Recipe Notes

I like to use dried mushrooms that I rehydrate 30 minutes before making the stir fry. Feel free to use any nut in place of cashews. 

For a base, consider sushi white rice (can use a can of Native Forest simple coconut milk as the liquid, boiling) OR Miracle rice or noodles (konjac root, which is a great prebiotic source) OR quinoa OR cauliflower rice.

Growing up I was overweight and ate a diet made up of convenient, processed foods. Then, when I was 16 years old, I had a tonsillectomy that resulted in weight loss. Seeing that I actually had muscle beneath my fat was enough to inspire me to abandon the unhealthy habits I had learned — I started exercising regularly, preparing nutritious meals and moving toward a holistic way of living.

As happy as I was about my new way of life, I was even more ecstatic when I learned I could make a career out of helping others do the same.
