Raw Nut-tastic Brownie Bites!
Since starting on this crazy gluten-free adventure I have had to adjust my tastes to new favorites, and have never found anything that tasted EXACTLY like the non-healthy version. I have spent hours revamping recipes to get them “close enough.” I have yet to find a GF cookie recipe that I like. And I’m not sure…

Vegan Nachos Supreme
Tonight was a fast meal night. I love taking an hour and making a masterpiece meal, but some days I’m just too tired. When I was working on my undergraduate degree I often stopped at a little Mexican take out place on campus. Not only was it cheap, it also had some great healthy choices!…

What’s Lurking in Your Soap?
Every winter my hands crack and bleed from the cold, dry conditions. So I slather on lotions that claim instant relief while washing my hands throughout the day with vitamin E infused products. And I always get the same results: dry, cracked hands. So I live with it. Until this year. I decided to start…

Almond Banana Spice Muffins
The first time I started baking on my own I was almost eight years old. Before that my mom and always let us help make our birthday cakes, but at seven years old my mom introduced me to the box muffin mix. And I swear I made them every day for years. I remember feeling…

Chocolate Coconut Cream Pie–Gluten-free and Dairy free!
This is absolutely our favorite dessert. Raw coconut pudding from a Young Thai coconut in an almond flour pie crust. To. Die. For. And totally worth sharing. Right before Thanksgiving last year I practically went on a manhunt to find a decent gluten-free pie crust recipe. It was brutal. But thank goodness I stumbled upon…

Eating Out? Part 2
While my husband and I try to make clean food choices while eating at chain restaurants (which by-the-way, have you ever tried the salads at California Pizza Kitchen? They are to die for), we also have found some specialty restaurants that really excel in the healthy, delicious food category. Like Mountain West Burrito. Which is…

Eating Out?
So I have to admit that we don’t always eat organic produce and cook everything from scratch. That would be insane and I would probably go mental. We definitely eat at least 80/20. Eighty percent clean, twenty percent….well…not as clean. Where do you eat when you are trying to eat clean? There are lots of…

Natural Yeast Pizza Dough
I cannot find a recipe for naturally leavened pizza dough. And of course, I don’t have the Bread Geek’s recipe book. So. I made something up. And since I’ve almost used up my sprouted wheat flour this week, I had to make a very small recipe. Double it if you need to! Annie’s Sprouted Whole…
