  • Vegetable oils and processed ingredients can drain your energy and create inflammation.

HEALTHY PUMPKIN PIE INGREDIENTS THAT BOOST ENERGY: If you’re searching for a clean eating pumpkin pie that’s gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined-sugar-free, you’re in the right place. Paleo pumpkin pie uses simple, God-made ingredients that reduce inflammation, support digestion, balance blood sugar, and naturally boost your energy.

These healthier swaps include almond flour, almond butter, coconut oil, coconut milk, and maple syrup — all nutrient-dense, antioxidant-rich, and easier on the gut than conventional baking ingredients.

A BIBLICAL APPROACH TO FOOD AND WELLNESS: Food was never meant to stress us out. God designed whole foods to nourish, strengthen, and bring joy. When we choose ingredients that honor His design — plants grown well, animals raised well, spices rich in natural healing compounds — our bodies respond with energy, clarity, and peace.

Good food is one of the sweetest ways God provides for His daughters.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
