Baked Chicken & Herb Meatballs
These chicken meatballs are made without breadcrumbs, dairy, or heavy sauces that can contribute to inflammation or digestive discomfort. Almond flour provides structure and healthy fats while remaining gentle on the gut and naturally gluten-free. Fresh herbs deliver flavor and digestive support without relying on garlic, onion, or spice heat that may irritate sensitive systems. Baking instead of frying reduces excess fat and keeps the meatballs light and easy to digest. The result is a nourishing, protein-rich dish that feels satisfying without heaviness.
Baked Salmon with Dill & Lemon Zest

Lemon zest adds brightness without the harsh acidity of lemon juice, while fresh dill supports digestion and keeps the flavor light and clean.
Soft-Baked Oat & Date Bars
These bars rely on whole, naturally sweet ingredients rather than refined sugars or flours. Medjool dates provide gentle sweetness and fiber, while gluten-free oats support digestion and satiety. Almond flour adds healthy fats and protein, helping slow sugar absorption and making these bars feel nourishing rather than spiking or heavy.
