I guess “poop better” is now a series! 🤭 It’s a s I guess “poop better” is now a series! 🤭

It’s a series where I’m sharing all the things I love to eat when I feel like I could be… well, pooping better. 

This is my spring gut health pasta salad, but it’s really great for any season, and you can find the ingredients year-round at most grocery stores. It’s my go-to pasta comfort meal, especially when I need something light that nourishes my gut microbiome. I always make my probiotic parmesan vinaigrette dressing to go with it, and I swear the dressing helps with digesting all the fresh veggies.

Roasted jalapeno and garlic dill pickles🧄🌶️ When Roasted jalapeno and garlic dill pickles🧄🌶️

When roasting ingredients for fermentation, it’s important to roast without any oil bc oily stuff can do weird, undesirable things in wild ferments. It also doesn’t take a ton of roasted ingredients to add great flavor. You can add more or less jalapeño depending on how spicy you want it.
