Coconut Whip Cream!
Delicious AND Simple!
Head to the baking aisle at your local healthy grocery store. Look for “Let’s Do Organic” Coconut Whip Cream in a can. If you can’t find this brand, use any full fat coconut cream. You will need vanilla extract and stevia as well.
You will also need a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Step One = Put the can of coconut cream in the fridge for at least 24 hours.
- Step Two = 24 hours later Take out the can and open it.
- Step Three = Take out just the solid cream, not the liquid and put in a large bowl
- Step 4 = put in 6 drops of stevia (this is very sweet and you can always add more later)
- Step 5 = put in 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Step 6 = Blend well with your hand mixer till it is at your desired consistency
- Step 7 = Taste and adjust as desired
- Step 8 = serve immediately OR put back in the fridge for a few hours. (this is best when it’s back in the fridge for 3-24 hours before serving)
- Step 9 = Put the cream on top of anything you like and enjoy!

No Cow Dairy! Here’s why
First off. Please know that “Cow Dairy” Does not mean eggs . For some bizarre reason people tend to think this. maybe it’s because eggs are found next to the milk and butter in most grocery stores. Also this does not mean beef. Beef is the meat, not the dairy:)
No Cow Dairy = No butter, cheese or milk from cows.
The short and simple explanation is that Cow Dairy has the most inflammatory types of casein protein. For the record ALL animal dairy (Goat, sheep, buffalo..) has Casein. It is specifically they type 1 Casein that causes the most trouble.
Remember this! Casein Type 1 & sometimes Type 2 is found in Cow Dairy. Casein type 1 causes the most inflammation. Best to steer clear of ALL cow milk and cheeses if you have a hard time digesting foods, have allergies AND/Or are trying to lose weight.
Super cool Fact #1
Many students of mine, including myself once thought they were allergic to cats. After taking out Cow Dairy completely we are no longer allergic to cats!
Also Cow Dairy kisks up gut inflammation, making it hard for most humans to digest cow milk. There is a reason MOST every other country does not consume cow milk like the United States does.
Super cool fact #2
on how to enjoy cow butter! Use Ghee.
Ghee is simply the clarified form of butter. That pesky casein protein is removed! My fav source of ghee is the brand Fourth and Heart! I use it everyday
Super Cool Fact #3
Goat and sheep milks and cheeses are great alternatives

- Add in the ghee and continue mixing well
- Lightly sprinkle coconut flour on a sheet of parchment paper. Turn the dough out on the floured surface. Gather it into a ball and form a 1 inch thick circle. Use your palms to flatten the top
- Use a round cutter to make biscuits, gathering the remaining dough into a ball and repeating the process until all of it has been used up. Alternatively, hand shape the biscuits from the dough

Chili! Easy & Delicious
Whole 30 Chili
Makes 4 servings
**Bre Tip = double this and freeze it. Save it for your busiest week in the next month! Simply pull out of the freezer 2 days before your busy days hit and enjoy.
Ingredients
2 pound grass-fed organic ground beef OR ground turkey or lamb
2 onions finely chopped
6 cloves garlic minced
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp mustard powder

2 red bell peppers, finely chopped
2 green bell peppers, finely chopped

2 cups organic vegetable broth
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until meat is fully browned
7-10 minutes. Remove the meat form the pot with a slotted spoon and transfer it to a side dish, keeping the leftover fat in the pot
Add the onions, garlic, cumin, chili powder and salt to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the onions are translucent 4-5 minutes.
Add the bell peppers, tomatoes and broth and return the meat to the pot. Turn the heat up to high. When the chili reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 1 hour. Enjoy!
Here’s my top tip to save time with weekly meal prep:
Pick one dish to enjoy 3 nights in the next 7 days. I’ve put a simple example below for you, complete with 3 different full dinners using the same main dish. Enjoy!
Make this work for 3 meals! ( Ex: Saturday, Monday & Wednesday)
Saturday = small bowl of chili with Swiss chard + avocado toast and shredded goat cheese
1.5 cup chili + add 1 cup chard (de-stemmed and chopped). 1 minute before serving the chili add the chopped chard to the pot and simmer
1/4 cup grated goat cheese
“ Food for life seed muffins” found in freezer section of healthy grocery stores. Toast 1-3 times add 1 tsp ghee and 1/2 small sliced avocado
Monday =
Chili + spinach & baked Japanese sweet potato with sautéed onion and mushrooms + sliced avocado
Chili = reheat on low and add 1.5 cup spinach leaves person to the pot for 1 minute.
Baked Japanese sweet potato= Thinly slice 1 red or yellow onion, put 1 tbsp coconut oil or ghee in the pan and heat to medium for 1 minute. Add onions and stir on low for 3 minutes
Add 1/2 tbsp ghee or coconut oil and add raw sliced crimini mushrooms. Saute for another 2-3 minutes
**Bre tip = bake the sweet potatoes 1-2 days in advance. Then simply cut into four long quarters and reheat in a pan for 8-10 minutes. (I do this on Sundays for busy Monday evenings.
Once potatoes are evenly browned. Cover open face potato slices with onions and mushrooms and enjoy!
Wednesday =
Chili w/ spinach & goat cheese quesadilla
Reheat 1.5 cup chili ( per person) on low
