Cassy Joy: Howdy everybody! Glad to be back again with you for another episode of the Fed and Fit podcast. Just a couple of notes before I jump into today’s part 2 of the gut health miniseries. I wanted to let you guys know that if you’ve been following Fed and Fit for a while, especially since last holiday season, you probably remember the Holiday Feast eBook that I published last year. Well; it goes back on sale this week! You know, I took it down after New Year’s last year, and I made a promise that I would be sending out an updated copy again this year. So here we are.
This new 2015 version includes a brand new Halloween chapter, and just like last year we’ve got over 50 recipes in the eBook, over 150 pages, and it’s got 5 different menus each for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve; Halloween of course being the bonus chapter this year. Each of those menus include; we’ve got one for autoimmune, one for 21-Day Sugar Detox, one for low-FODMAP, one for low-carb, and the last one for what I like to call Fed and Fit decadence. It’s kind of like a much healthier way to holiday and enjoy the holidays, but still have a piece of pie and still have a snuggler, you know {laughs} which is hot cocoa with a little peppermint schnapps in it. But, anyways.
I’ve got all those awesome recipes, what I think is the best paleo pie crust out there. I guess I should say paleo-friendly, but it’s great and it’s made the old fashioned way where you chill the butter, you roll the dough, and you chill the dough again. So it’s a project that I poured a lot of time and a lot of heart into it because the holidays are just so very special and very important to me, and I wanted to create a way to share kind of my holiday table with you all. And kind of feel a little bit liberated. The holidays shouldn’t be a time where we stress out, and think; oh gosh, well here we go, I’m just going to be unhealthy for the next two or three months, and then when January rolls around, I’ll get back on track.
I think there’s a way to have your cake, and eat it too. And that’s really what I wanted to provide for you guys, a resource that kind of bridged the gap there. You know, it was; yeah, you know what; that pumpkin pie should be enjoyed, it’s Thanksgiving for Pete’s sake, so let’s make a pumpkin pie that everybody loves, and it just also happens to not be detrimental to health. I like to think of them as benign recipes. Maybe not; pumpkin pie isn’t necessarily going to be a boost any which way you cut it, but it can definitely help out.
