WholeFoodFor7 - Whole foods for a family, from a Certified Whole30 Coach

TOOLS, RECIPES, AND RESOURCES TO GET YOU CLOSER TO HEALTHY.

HELLO I’M AUTUMN

I am a home-grown recipe creative who is also a mom to 5 boys, a Whole30 Certified Coach, and Whole30 Coaching Coordinator. I love making easy Whole30 & Paleo recipes for my family of 7 – we have eaten Paleo-ish as a family for 3 years.

My background is a BS in Exercise Physiology and I am a Certified Personal Trainer with many aerobics certifications – but I left that to focus on the food we eat when I realized how much it can change our health.

We live just north of Sacramento, CA and when not in the kitchen can often be found hiking, camping, and adventuring.

OUR ‘GRAM

It’s my birthday! 🎉🍂 Autumn Dawn – born

It’s my birthday! 🎉🍂 Autumn Dawn – born in the fall and the crack of dawn. I’ve always loved my name and this season, though you’d better believe there will be a GF/DF chocolate cake tonight to celebrate…not a pie, ha!

My heart is full from all the loved ones that wished me well today. And also, celebrations this year are weird. I had some surprising emotions surface for me today and a dear co-worker pointed out we have done day to day pandemic life for a while now, it’s become more predictable (I won’t say “normal”).

But what we haven’t done is a pandemic Thanksgiving, Christmas, or, for me, birthday. It’s okay if that brings up some of the feels.

Still celebrating the gift of another year and the many incredible gifts in my life today, none of which had anything to do with presents 💛💛.

SOME OF MY FAVORITE THINGS – Y’all keep asking

Our Thanksgiving adventures will be limited this y

Our Thanksgiving adventures will be limited this year. We usually spend Thanksgiving in a national park, but staying close to home feels the most prudent this year.
.
We don’t have family any closer than a 7 hour drive, so it will be just us. Those who aren’t spending the holiday this week with family, I see you.
.
We are leaning into the simple. This is a beautiful hike an hour from us we woke up early to hit today. We’ve done it 4x but found some new gems in it today and loved the fall colors. I know we are so privileged to live in such a gorgeous area of the country.
.
Other at-home Thanksgiving adventures will include:
• A neighborhood scavenger hunt, dividing the family into two teams for some friendly competition. I am linking that fun printable! Great easy family neighborhood activity.
• A make your own milkshake night (Paleo milkshake post coming soon!)
• A family paint night. Yes, we are full on spending a night with Bob (Ross) and I’m so excited for it! 🤩. Just buy some canvases, cheap brushes, and acrylic paint at a craft store!
• Family game night which will definitely include charades and Exploding Kittens, and possibly a new game or two
.
Here’s to making the most of this unique Thanksgiving holiday 💛

5-INGREDIENT RASPBERRY BARS - GF/DF, nut-free, tak

5-INGREDIENT RASPBERRY BARS - GF/DF, nut-free, take under 10 minutes to put together and hit the delicious "easy" button by using a store-bought gluten-free cake mix. (I find mine @walmart).
.
This recipe makes a large 9x13 family size dessert and would be an easy addition to your holiday dessert table (ps - no one will know they are GF/DF!). They are a family favorite in our house, and my kids can make them themselves, woot!

I’m not always into bars that don’t have chocolate in them, but these are a keeper!
