When I became a mother in 1991, my daughter had developed cognitive issues due to my lack of proper nutrition and health conditions. My daughter was my inspiration for the journey of becoming healthier. It was difficult to find budget­-friendly, nutritious, and convenient ready-made foods at that time. So, I returned to cooking with more wholesome foods the way I was brought up in Jamaica and what I had learned from my Portuguese stepmom. I was on a mission to find out more about how to stay healthy with nutrition. I enrolled in the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition and completed the Fundamentals of Nutrition. To further my knowledge and skills, I am currently pursuing certification to become a Certified Nutritional Consultant. When healthy eating may help to reduce diet-related diseases. I am using my gifts, talents, and what I have learned, to empower you with more options to help support and maintain your health and happiness.

Hello Eat for Lifers! 🍎🥳

Did you know October is Apple Month? Apples bring more than crisp sweetness to the table. They provide fibre, antioxidant plant compounds—especially in the skin—a little vitamin C, and potassium.

Enjoy your apple washed and with the skin on to make the most of its fibre and plant compounds. How do you enjoy apples: fresh, baked, or tucked into a favourite gluten-free recipe?

Hello Eat for Lifers! 🍎😊

October is apple month, and today, October 5, is National Apple Betty Day! I’m celebrating with a warm, gluten-free Apple Betty made with tender apples and a cinnamon-spiced oat-flour crumble.

Traditional Apple Betty recipes often use breadcrumbs. This version uses gluten-free oat flour instead.

GLUTEN-FREE APPLE BETTY
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

• 2 cups (230 g) peeled, sliced apples
• 2 tbsp (30 mL) lemon or orange juice
• ⅓ cup (65 g) brown sugar
• ⅔ cup (80 g) gluten-free oat flour
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• ⅛ tsp nutmeg
• 3 tbsp (40 g) dairy-free vegan butter

Cooking Instructions

1. Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch baking dish.

2. Toss the apples with the lemon or orange juice.

3. Mix the brown sugar, oat flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl. Rub in the vegan butter with your fingertips until the mixture looks like fine crumbs.

4. Layer half the apples in the dish, then half the crumble. Repeat with the remaining apples and crumble.

5. Bake for about 45 minutes, until the apples are tender and the topping is golden and crisp. Let rest briefly before serving.

Nutrition Note — Apples
Apples provide dietary fibre. Fibre may help support bowel regularity and help us feel full longer. Apples also contain a small amount of vitamin C. This recipe uses peeled apples; keeping the peel on is an option if you prefer.

For celiac safety, use oat flour made from oats labelled gluten-free. Some people with celiac disease may not tolerate oats, even when they’re specially produced gluten-free oats.

Save this recipe for your next apple-baking day. ✅️

Hello Eat For Lifers! 🌸 It’s Marsha here! 🤓🤪

​Today is a very special Tuesday. Coincidentally, May 12th marks my 41st year since arriving in Canada in 1985! 🇨🇦 To celebrate this milestone and Celiac Awareness Month, I wanted to share a little sneak peek of what I’ve been working so hard on.

​I am deep in the process of creating our magazine, and while I’m still putting on the final touches, I couldn't resist showcasing this page from the Nourish Me Gluten-Free Wellness —a division of Eat For Life by Marsha Inc. 📖✨

​As a Celiac myself, this project is so personal. I want to share my story—from the days of eating ice (a symptom of the severe anemia I faced) to finding true healing. This magazine is my commitment to showing that Food is Nourishment.

​This featured page highlights Strawberries, Asparagus, and Pumpkin Seeds. 🍓🌱 I love this combination! It is incredibly high in magnesium, potassium, zinc, and iron—essential nutrients for anyone managing Celiac disease or looking to boost their mineral levels.

​The magazine will be a monthly guide showcasing seasonal ingredients and celebrated food days, all designed to help you live your most vibrant life. I am so dedicated to getting this finished and into your hands soon!

​Stay tuned for more updates as I wrap up the final details. We’re almost there! 🥂💗

Hello May 🌼 🥳
May is Celiac Awareness Month, and I am honoured to begin sharing more of my journey and educational wellness content through Nourish Me Gluten-Free Wellness by Eat For Life by Marsha.

Living with Celiac disease, being gluten-free, dairy-free, and navigating anemia has deeply shaped my understanding of nourishment, healing, and the importance of listening to the body. Through years of study, lived experience, and wellness education, I have learned that nourishment is key.

This month, I’ll be sharing evidence-based educational information focused on essential nutrients that may help support healing, energy, gut health, and overall wellness for those living a gluten-free lifestyle.

One nutrient I personally value is magnesium — and one of my favourite nourishing foods rich in magnesium is pumpkin seeds 🌱
Pumpkin seeds have become one of my signature ingredients because I truly believe in the power of real food to nourish and support the body.

At Nourish Me Gluten-Free Wellness, education and nourishment go hand in hand. My goal is to help make wellness practical, approachable, and empowering.

Stay tuned throughout May for:

✅ Nourishing gluten-free recipes
✅ Essential nutrient education
✅ Wellness insights
✅ Celiac-safe lifestyle tips
✅ Nourish Me Gluten-Free Magazine features
✅ Real food inspiration designed to help nourish you

Fuel your body. Nourish your soul. 🌿

JOY — Just Only Yes to nourishment. 💚
