Ming, Ming is a typical Pug. She loves her food! I feed her a very nutrient dense, clean, meat based diet. She also loves fruit as occasional treats and carrots. She is my Paleo Pug. She is two years old, and when my husband gave her to me for Christmas when she was a puppy, she fit in the palm of my hand. I am her person. It is humbling and infinitely wonderful to be loved with such devotion by Ming. I want her to live a long, long life and be healthy as she ages. She loves chicken, and when you say “chicken” her eyes get very large and she tilts her head to the side listening intently. It is a buzz word for her as well as “liver”. When I have a crock pot of chicken bone broth going in the house she hangs around the pot just to smell it. Pugs have a tendency to the plump side, so she walks every day with me and we keep her treats small. In this photo, Ming is waiting patiently, but seriously, for her dinner.

Hello! I am Sam. I am a foodie, baker and a Health Coach who likes being in the kitchen making food. My recipes are all gluten free and there are recipes for different food intolerances as well. If you are looking to incorporate healthier eating habits and live a more balanced life, I hope to inspire you. I have had an obsession with baking since I was ten! I started this blog to share recipes I was making for myself after finding out I had gluten sensitivity and other food intolerances which I have mostly healed, but will always be sensitive to gluten. I went to school for Health Coaching as a second career at Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Nutrient dense food gives the body the best fuel and building blocks to be vibrant, healthy, prevent disease, and maintain great energy as well as heal. I am excited to share delicious food recipes, tips, baking and treats too!

At least she is patient. She looks concerned that you might forget to feed her.
