I have this lovely dreaded disease and take medication for it. On a website somewhere I saw a list of symptoms and I fall within a lot of them. Mostly the "Vague aches and pains", and "Fatigue and depression". I am trying to cut out calciferous vegetables. Some days I feel better, some I don't. I would like to hear what others are finding if they have this disease and what do they do about it

Lisa has counseled me on healthy eating habits for quite some time. As a senior, I initially found it difficult to make changes. But I did cut down on sugar and fats. When I started noticing how much better I felt I decided to accept more of Lisa's advised changes in shopping, cooking and diet in general.. As a result I've lost over 20 lbs., visit the doctor's office rarely, have a better quality of life. I wish I had known about this "clean eating" many years ago. Thank you, Lisa!

-2 1/2 Cups Oats -1/2 cup Almonds -1/4 cup Honey -2 Tablespoons Butter -2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil -1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla -1/4 Teaspoon Salt -1/2 Cup dried fruit (Cranberries, Raisins, Apricots, Dates) -1/4 Cup + 2 Tablespoons cacao nips or mini chocolate chips Chop almonds. Spread almonds and oats on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. Toast the almonds and oats for 5 Minutes in a 350 degree oven. Stir and bake another 3 minutes. Combine butter, coconut oil, honey, vanilla and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until butter and oil are melted. Mix in oats and almonds. Let cool for 5 Minutes. Add fruit and 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. Stir to combine. The chocolate chips will melt slightly, but this helps the bars hold together. Transfer mixture to a parchment paper line 9x13 pan and press firmly with a spatula or damp finger tips. Scatter remaining 2 Tablespoons of chips over pressed granola and use a spatula to press into top. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours. Remove from pan and peel away the parchment paper. Cut into 12 bars, enjoy!
