Two Winners will Receive this Massive Healthy Cookbook!
I vividly remember the day, when we stood around a small table at a friend’s house looking at Ali’s amazingly thick binder of original healthy recipes. “I’ve got hundreds of recipes completed, but haven’t had time to put them all together,” she said. Well, amongst the chaos of her busy and packed household, Ali finally compiled all of those recipes into one amazing cookbook, Nourishing Meals.
To note, both authors, Alissa and Tom, hold degrees in nutrition from Bastyr University. Ali has worked as a personal chef, and Tom travels frequently, speaking at events, and for his work as a faculty member of the Autism Research Institute. They are a powerhouse husband and wife duo of knowledge and good food.
That said, Nourishing Meals starts out with some excellent information from Tom on why the gluten-free diet can benefit your health, a look at the causes of food sensitivities and allergies, how to raise a healthy eater, key nutrients and contributors of deficiencies, and much more.
Then, it ventures into an entire novel of recipes, like these …
Dark Teff Sandwich Bread
Creamy Tomato Asparagus Soup
Just a few others that I dog-earred to trial included:
- Buckwheat Hazelnut Pancakes
- Healing Ginger Miso Soup
- Pecan Crusted Chicken and Apple Salad
- Moroccan Quinoa Pilaf
- Sweet Potato Falafels
- Thai Fish Curry w/ Garden Veggies
- Chipotle Barbecue Sauce
- Buckwheat Chia Tortillas
- Maple Pecan Pie
- Peanut Butter Monster Cookies
In addition to the 300+ recipes, Ali covers the nutritional benefits of soups and stocks, tips for getting your children to eat more vegetables, charts for soaking and cooking whole grains, and ways to preserve the harvest, including recipes for lacto-fermented vegetables.
Nourishing Meals is 100% gluten-free and rich with so many wholesome recipes and ideas. Though it isn’t completely dairy-free, there are still around 300 dairy-free recipes to choose from. For the recipes that do contain dairy, most are pretty easy to adapt as Ali isn’t heavy handed with cheese, milk, or butter, and she’s certainly no stranger to using homemade almond milk and coconut oil.

I love vegetables and protein. My favorite food is bread, but since I developed herniated discs, I can’t have it because the wheat is an inflammatory agent in my body. I would love to know how to cook good tasting gluten-free bread that doesn’t have the consistency of rubber.
My favorites are Coconut Oil, almond butter, chia seeds, vegetables and fruits.
I love eating healthy foods. My favorite things to make are veggie tarts or a stuffed portobello mushroom.
My fave healthy food is def, the smoothie, which can be changed to just about any flavor, or a awesome salad with peas, bell peppers, mabey a sprinkle of goat cheese. loads of fresh veges.
Great cookbook!!

I love steamed green beans and spaghetti squash! I also have a deep love for avocados and bananas =)
My daughter has a dairy allergy, so we have discovered some new treats:) Some of our favorites are fresh fruit smoothies, and home made dairy free pizza with home grown pesto sauce….YUM!:)
I enjoy a variety of healthy foods, fruits, veggies, beans,…I enjoy them in smoothies and a variety of one pot dishes. It saves time and my 14 month old enjoys them as well.
Spinach is great. It is so versatile and can go in most anything.
I love all vegetables but especially beets, carrots and sweet potatoes.
I love yogurt and veggies and fruit and hummus. Tofu is another fav of mine, but no one will eat it around here but me. I can’t convince them it is good tasting,New recipes would be so helpful, I could sneak some healthy things in on them!
I love whole some, seasonal, and colourful fruits and vegetables. Teff would have to be the ultimate grain in this household, and wild fresh fish as a protein favourite.
