Do you have food cravings before your Moontime?

These truffles are low in sugar, and abundance in healthy fats plus cacao- which gives a dopamine boost. This recipe will help you ease through your PMS phase.

 FYI, our PMS occurs during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, (Days 15-28). This is also known as our your inner empress- or QUEEN phase as it’s a great time to create boundaries and clear out/recycle what no longer is serving your highest growth.

Watch the Video:

First, stir main ingredients in a bowl.

Next, you will need raw cacao paste.

I love to use the company Firefly Cacao, which is ceremonial grade.

To make the chocolate, use a double boiler to melt cacao with coconut oil.

Freeze into chocolate molds.

Cacao Hempress Truffles

Jan 20, 2020

Packed with omega-3 fatty acids and good fats, these paleo Cacao Hempress Truffles are everything your inner empress needs! 

The empress (queen) archetype comes out in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (days 15-28) as well as in the peri-menopause phase of the cycles of womanhood. We experience a “queen” energy because these are phases where energetically, it’s a powerful time for creating boundaries.

As hormones biologically shift, estrogen and progesterone levels can cause PMS and pre-menopause symptoms such as night sweats, irritability, food cravings, abdominal cramping and pain, and migraines. Eating a diet consistently filled with healthy fats, clean protein, and an abundance of low carbohydrate vegetables will support hormone balance, to alleviate physical symptoms.

However, spiritually these physical symptoms bring strong intuitive messages- helping a woman know where to place her energy and where to cut cords by saying “no” to...

Luteal Phase Breakfast Bowl with Chanterelle Mushrooms

Nov 29, 2019

I’m a smoothie girl when it comes to breakfast in the summer months, but during the colder seasons, a warm savory breakfast hits the spot. My Luteal Phase Breakfast Bowl with Chanterelle Mushrooms can help boost energy during a cold morning with the energizing B-vitamins from the mushrooms and kale and filling fiber from the butternut squash. Plus, chanterelle mushrooms are a source of the thyroid supporting vitamin D, which is found in very little foods, making this an excellent hormone balancing meal, as vitamin D can be more challenging to get from the sun during the colder cloudy months.

It’s an ideal breakfast choice for the autumn season outside and the inner autumn, a.k.a the luteal phase of your menstrual cycle. I love eating with the seasons both externally and internally. I cook meals with cold weather roots such as butternut or acorn squash or locally harvested autumn mushrooms such as golden chanterelles, lobster mushrooms or maitake during the...

Lemon Tahini Dressing

Nov 07, 2019

My Lemon Tahini Dressing is rich in flavor, which makes it a favorite dressing at the retreats I chef for. Plus it has probiotics from the chickpea miso, creating beneficial gut flora to support healthy digestion.

A good dressing can make eating fresh salad a desired part of your daily diet if it isn’t already. And, I’m a big advocate for getting your greens in- it’s part of my hormone balance protocol. Greens are rich in magnesium, iron, and folate- minerals and vitamins your body needs to reduce cramping, prevent anemia, and build energy.

It also works  an amazing sauce for dipping sweet potato fries or adding on top of roasted vegetables like my Oven Roasted Roots & Shrimp.

I use freshly squeezed lemon, ginger and garlic in the dressing, which adds to the potency of flavor.

Lastly, sesame seeds in tahini are an excellent source of plant estrogens, also known as phytoestrogens. These phytoestrogens can bind to estrogen receptors, and help prevent...

Oven Roasted Roots and Shrimp

Oct 17, 2019

Warm, hearty, and savory. My Roasted Roots and Shrimp is an excellent Paleo dish for your luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, especially at the turn of the season where we are now experiencing the colder weather of Autumn.

Roasted roots are one of my favorite meals to eat during lunch, dinner or even breakfast during luteal phase of my menstrual cycle. Why?  The luteal phase occurs right before menstruation and can often include symptoms of PMS: bloating, irritability, and cravings.

One way to reduce cravings and irritability is to eat more foods that are considered complex carbohydrates at this time of our cycle to support healthy blood sugar responses. The roasted roots in this recipe: sweet potato, radish, fennel and Brussel sprouts are great forms of complex carbohydrates.

Blood sugar levels are meant to rise and fall, but if insulin is rising and falling drastically throughout the day due to stress or overconsumption of sweets, this will lead to additional...

10-Min Sexy Chocolate

Oct 08, 2019

For Goddesses-on-the-go, who may not have a whole lotta extra time in the kitchen, this one is for you.

My 10-Min Sexy Chocolate is quick and simple to make, with just 5 ingredients blended together. And it gives you the good kind of fat- coconut oil,  which your liver loves to burn, helping boost your metabolism while you stay focused on making your dreams happen. Once you have melted the coconut oil and gently blended the ingredients together, you can pop it in the freezer and serve within 10 minutes!

Also, this is a perfect pre-moontime treat during your luteal or menstrual phase of your menstrual cycle, as cacao powder stimulates euphoric feel-good neurotransmitters. As progesterone and estrogen levels shift before menstruation comes, it can often cause moodiness or irritability. Cacao can help alleviate this PMS symptom because it contains dopamine precursors.

The maple syrup gives this chocolate bar it’s sweetness, but you could also use liquid stevia drops...

This glammed up trail mix is for the modern goddess on the go! My Aphrodite’s Trail Mix is loaded with libido boosting minerals and vitamins, that naturally enhance energy and mood, aid fertility, and reduce period cramping.

Here’s why the ingredients in this mix aid your feminine vitality, helping you embody your inner Aphrodite.

Reishi Cardamom Brazil Nut Mylk

May 06, 2019

My Reishi Cardamom Brazil Nut Mylk is a delicious base for elixirs, golden mylks, smoothies, and totally perfect for drinking as is!

It truly is a treat for your taste buds and body temple, as Brazil nuts are high in selenium, an extremely important mineral for fertility and thyroid health. Our thyroid governs our metabolism and temperature.

Selenium protects our fertility and supports our thyroid. It helps convert T4 (the storage thyroid hormone) into T3 (the active thyroid hormone), so we don’t feel tired all the time or gain weight from a slow metabolism.

A selenium deficiency can heighten TPO antibodies, deepening autoimmune thyroid issues like Hashimoto’s and Grave’s disease. These antibodies attack the thyroid and cause inflammation, which can worsen thyroid symptoms with puffiness, painful joints, challenges with conception and pregnancy, fatigue and weight gain.

Adding this nut mylk into my diet is the way I honor my thyroid, by giving it some supportive...

Decadent Sweet Potato Breakfast

Mar 18, 2019

For all sweet potato lovers… this one is for you.

And for all the breakfast lovers who can’t do pancakes because of the grains, or are sensitive to nuts and can’t make my Easy Paleo Pancakes made with almond flour…

Here is a decadent alternative.

Warm, naturally sweet from baking the sweet potatoes, and loaded up with superfoods, this breakfast is both a hearty and mineral-rich treat!

And it may actually help improve  blood sugar regulation.

Fried white potatoes are typically a staple in western breakfasts, yet white potatoes may affect blood sugar regulation, as they break down in the body as a simple carbohydrate and can spike blood sugar levels, rapidly.

Sweet potatoes help to increase adiponectin in the blood, which is a protein hormone made in our fat cells that supports insulin metabolism. Studies have shown that those who have blood sugar issues (insulin metabolism) such as insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes have lower...

Hot Maca Matcha Latte

Feb 28, 2019

mmmm, milky, frothy and good for hormone balance?

I’m inviting you to taste what I’ve been making in my kitchen this winter, that’s been keeping me warmed up from the inside out, with plenty of energy as I work during these snowy winter days.

Hot Maca Matcha Latte….

My Hot Maca Matcha Latte made with coconut butter is what I consider a treat, giving me energy and healthy fats for brain function and hormone balance.

It has a vibrant green color and a creamy texture.

This latte is a great support for natural hormone balance with the added maca. 

Maca is a root vegetable from Peru, that has been crushed into a powder that is found in the supplement section at the local health food store. It has nutrients like vitamin C, vitamin B6, iron, copper, and is full of fiber. It can naturally boost stamina, and can assist in hormone regulation by supporting the the communication in the brain (pituitary gland-...
