Are you stuck in that awkward gap?

The truth is, our digestion and emotions are deeply connected. In our fast-paced world, we’re losing touch with the rhythms that support real nourishment.

You know what to eat. But doing it?
That’s the hard part!

Especially when
it’s 6pm and:

  • Cheese feels like a valid dinner option
  • Your stomach’s still negotiating with yesterday’s takeout
  • You’re scanning every label for sneaky ingredients that could ruin your night

All my anti-inflammatory recipes are lower in sugar, protein-rich, and gluten-free, but with swaps for gluten-lovers, too!

That’s where I come in.

Hi, I’m Nicole!

I’m part practical kitchen bestie, part emotional support human 🙂

I’m not here to overhaul your life or guilt-trip your pantry. Together, we’ll find your rhythm—with gluten-free meal planning for families.”

You are my #1 source for encouragement, delicious recipes, and hope.

I’ve been severely ill since 2015, and honestly, I believe food is the only medicine that can help me now. More than all the drugs or tests or alternative stuff—what I put in my body matters most. Thank you for supporting me with high-protein recipes with natural sweeteners I love!!

If this sounds like a deep cleansing breath…

Then you’re in the right place. ↓

This Membership IS for You If…

  • You believe whole, unprocessed foods can help your body feel steady
  • You deal with bloating, food anxiety, or food allergies
  • You’re looking for high-protein recipes, gluten-free meal plans, with natural sweeteners—without losing your mind (or flavor)

  • You don’t believe in the mind-gut connection
  • If it can’t be microwaved or peeled like a banana, it’s not happening
  • Your idea of healing is quick fixes without addressing root causes
  • You want to eliminate stress completely rather than learn to move through it

It’s About Nourishment Beyond the Plate

Stress has you stuck in fight-or-flight

The modern reality? Your mind and gut are in constant conversation. And most of us are too busy, too wired, or too overwhelmed to hear what they’re saying.

When your gut feels off, everything feels off—your sleep, your mood, your presence. It becomes nearly impossible to feel joy, peace, and light.

This is the support I couldn’t find—so I made it for both of us.

Nicole Bonilla hugging her daughter

I’ve been where you are—spiraling from food stress and anxiety, and thinking, “Why can’t I just figure this out?”

Five years ago, my body staged an intervention. I was juggling anxiety, digestive discomfort, and a nervous system on overdrive. Meals felt overwhelming. Social events felt impossible. Even a simple snack came with stress.

We can’t eliminate stress, but we can stabilize ourselves to move through it. Even a single food swap can quiet anxiety—I know because I live it!

I’m not a dietitian—I’m a creative home cook who makes real food work for real life.

With six kids, a burpy gut, and zero patience for fussy ingredients, I’ve spent years turning food stress into something that feels manageable—and most importantly fun and delicious.

“Gentle isn’t passive—it’s the most powerful way forward to vibrant peace and grace.”

Your FAQ’s–Let’s Go!

You’re in the right place. Everything is designed to be gentle on your gut, with ingredient swaps and flexible recipes that won’t leave you guessing.

Nope. If you can stir, toast, and maybe use a blender, you’re good. Think “cozy home cook” vibes—not Top Chef.

Yes. No weird contracts, no guilt trips. Just log in and cancel when you need to (but we’ll miss you).

Not even close. This is about nourishment, not restriction. You won’t find calorie charts or food rules—just calm, support, and delicious things that love your body back.

There’s no behind. This is a go-at-your-own-pace kind of place. Life happens. Your reset button is always waiting.

While it’s not therapy, this space was created by someone with lived experience. The routines, mindset shifts, and gut-supportive meals are all designed with anxiety in mind.

As long as you’re a member, they’re all yours. Cancel anytime—though most people love staying for the rhythm and support.
