By now you have probably heard about turmeric or curcumin and it’s amazing anti-inflammatory properties. I had read about it and started encapsulating dried turmeric to help with my headaches last fall. But it wasn’t until I started working with my doctor (who is wonderful) that I realized that the regular culinary form of turmeric wasn’t going to cut it when it came to really helping me with my inflammation. Or, I was going to have to take a LOT of it to notice a difference.
Morning Glory Muffins (gluten and grain-free)
I have been super busy getting the new membership site finished up so I haven’t been blogging much. But I’ve been creating new recipes for the new site, which I am so excited about. This is one recipe I recently came up with and they are really delicious, at least that is what people tell me – I am still on Intro and eggs so far are not working for me… Here you go, I hope you enjoy the recipe!
