The Functional Foodie Kitchen
Real-food recipes with protein, fiber, and no food rules.
The Functional Foodie Kitchen
These are the recipes I make and share through Thrive Functional Nutrition, my practice focused on women’s hormonal and metabolic health. They’re simple, real-food meals built around protein and fiber, with no food rules and no perfection required. Pick one, make it your way, and save it for a busy week. Many can be made ahead or frozen.
Recipes are for education and aren’t medical advice or a personalized meal plan.
Instant Pot Beef & Lentil Shepherd’s Pie
This Instant Pot shepherd’s pie is pure comfort food with a nourishing upgrade. Grass-fed beef and lentils simmer in homemade turkey bone broth with soy sauce and tomato paste, then get topped with a buttery potato-cauliflower mash. Each serving has 48 g protein and 12 g fiber. Slow cooker directions included.
