I help my clients regain their health by designing an overall wellness program, specific to their needs.

Relationships, exercise, career, and spirituality are just as important to your health as the food you eat. I understand this, from personal experience, and take a holistic approach to supporting the whole person. 

My goal is to help you to eat WHOLE and THRIVE!

Wild Rice and Sausage Stuffing


Ingredients

  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 ribs celery with leaves, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
  • Pinch ground nutmeg
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2-pound Smokey's Vegan sausage, cooked (see recipe under Sides)
  • 1/2 cup pecan pieces, toasted
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

  1. Combine the wild rice, vegetable broth, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and just bursting, about 30 minutes or according to package instructions. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 350. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, apple, celery, garlic, thyme, nutmeg, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
  3. Fold in the sausage, cooked wild rice, pecans, and parsley into the vegetable mixture. Bake in a buttered casserole dish for 30 minutes.
