Easy Summer Entertaining ~ Anti-Inflammatory Recipes

Posted by Karina Hines on Jul 22, 2022 7:53:29 AM

This week’s recipes focus on easy anti-inflammatory dishes that do not contain any of the common ingredients associated with causing inflammation in the body, like sugar, dairy, gluten and chemical preservatives.

Following an anti-inflammatory diet can help ease symptoms and reduce the risk of chronic disease.


These fresh, light and fun recipes are great for easy entertaining and focusing on using the bounty of summer produce in our gardens, farms and markets.

Wishing you vibrant health  ~  Chef Karina Hines
