I am enough

February 21, 2013 Lydia Buschenfeldt

I am enough

A year ago, at the start of year two of this journey, I wrote about being grateful. I meant every word and still do. I have been grounded and humbled. The relentless support from my family and friends, and people I have never even met, still takes my breath away. My eyes have … [Read more...]

Energy Balls

Energy Balls

Gluten, Grain, Dairy, Soy-Free and Vegan

Seeds need ener­gy in order to grow, and cul­ti­vat­ing your own healthy habits can take a lot of ener­gy too! Ener­gy bars and ener­gy balls are every­where we look these days. They are super easy to whip up your­self, but many peo­ple are intim­i­dat­ed by the thought. More…

Rami’s Birthday Cupcake

Rami’s Birthday Cupcake

Gluten-free, Vegan, Soy-Free, Nut-Free Option

My youngest nephew has a laun­dry list of food aller­gies, due to a diag­no­sis of FPIES (Food Pro­tein-Induced Ente­ro­col­i­tis Syn­drome) which is a unique type of food aller­gy that affects the gas­troin­testi­nal tract. His list of “safe foods” changes on a reg­u­lar basis, and to say it’s lim­it­ed is an under­state­ment. When my sis­ter-in-law men­tioned that she would be stick­ing a can­dle in an apple slice for his first birth­day, I knew just what my next recipe cre­ation would be. Every­one deserves a cup­cake on a birth­day! Inspired by an oat­meal cook­ie and an apple spice cake, this cup­cake is sure to delight taste buds, both young and old. More…

Raspberry Truffles

Raspberry Truffles

February 5, 2018

Noth­ing says cel­e­bra­tion like a plate of choco­late truf­fles, and if you live a dairy and/or soy-free lifestyle, it may have been quite a while since you have had a truf­fle of your own – but no longer! These Rasp­ber­ry Truf­fles are not only deli­cious and aller­gen-friend­ly, but also full of nutri­tion­al good­ness. Dark choco­late, coconut oil and rasp­ber­ries are all nat­u­ral­ly high in antiox­i­dants and anti-inflam­ma­to­ry com­pounds, so you can treat your body AND your taste­buds all in one bite. More…

Roasted Carrot Parsnip and Ginger Soup

Roasted Carrot Parsnip and Ginger Soup

January 8, 2018

This thick and creamy soup is the per­fect stick-to- your-ribs meal for a chilly, win­ter night – fill­ing you up with good­ness with­out weigh­ing you down with flour and cream. Anti-inflam­ma­to­ry gin­ger warms you up from the inside out, aids in diges­tion and helps keep your joints feel­ing fab­u­lous in the cold weath­er. More…

Chocolate Molasses Thumbprint Cookies

Chocolate Molasses Thumbprint Cookies

December 5, 2017

These cook­ies are inspired by a desire to com­bine my par­ents’ favorite hol­i­day cook­ies – a soft-baked molasses cook­ie for my dad, and a sea salt dark choco­late thumbprint for my mom. More…

I’d say Lydia Buschen­feldt has changed my life, but that wouldn’t be exact­ly true. What she does is even more pow­er­ful. Any­one can tell some­one else what changes they ‘need’ to make to live a health­i­er life. It takes some­one spe­cial to enable and empow­er you to change your own life. Lydia is that some­one spe­cial. Dur­ing every ses­sion, at every twist and turn and bump in the road, Lydia meets me where I am with an incred­i­ble amount of knowl­edge and patience, and helps me iden­ti­fy one or two steps for­ward to accom­plish the goals I have for myself. She knows that each jour­ney is dif­fer­ent, and cus­tomizes our ses­sions so our dis­cus­sions are tai­lored toward what I need in that moment to help me build the health, future and hap­pi­ness that I deserve.
