This recipe has been such a staple in our house, lately. This Best Ever Coconut Flour Banana Bread, has replaced the Apple Cinnamon Muffins lately, because it’s even faster and easier (hard to imagine)! I love that there are minimal ingredients in this bread, that I always have on hand. It takes one bowl and […]
Nutty Coconut Crack Granola
Reduced Sugar and Carb Granola (Grain and Gluten Free)
Granola is one of my favorite foods. I could eat it for every meal. It’s also turned into my son, Liam’s favorites, along with dark chocolate. It really satisfies my need for something crunchy, sweet and satiating. The beauty of this granola is you can control the amount of sugar used. It’s also great if […]
Reduced Carb Oatmeal
I made up this recipe because I really miss having a hot breakfast in the winter. I don’t tolerate eggs well and I needed something I could make ahead of time and just reheat in the morning. I like a good breakfast sausage scramble too, but this is on the sweeter vs savory side. This […]
How to Cook Winter Greens 101
It’s been my experience so far, that many people aren’t cooking dark green leafy veggies like swiss chard, kale, bok choy, collard greens etc, because they either don’t know how or they had it once and hated it. If that that’s the case, this post is for you! Dark green leafy veggies are a loaded […]
Signature Metabolism Boosting Shake
Real Food, Meal Replacement Shake
I made up this shake recipe based on my knowledge of what nutrients we are most commonly lacking in our daily diets. Nutrients like healthy fats, probiotics, zinc, selenium, vitamin C and K, magnesium and fiber are often missing in sufficient quantities in our diets, even if you eat really well! The fact is, our […]
Low Carb Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Gluten and Dairy Free
I’ve really been craving some cinnamon raisin bread with butter, lately. I remembered this basic recipe and adapted it to be cinnamon raison-y. Joe likes to cut his in half (takes the top off) and grill it in some butter on the stove-top. I have to admit, this was a genius move. It’s absolutely […]
Paleo Coconut Flour Zucchini Bread (Low Carb and Low Sugar)
Gluten Free and Grain Free
Now is the time to find new and different things to do with zucchini. I don’t know about you, but I’m up to my neck in zucchini from our Simple Gifts farm share (not that I’m complaining!). I have been looking for a good bread recipe that doesn’t use almond flour. Although tasty, consuming nut […]
Breakfast Cookies
Gluten Free, Egg Free Option, Dairy Free
Cookies for breakfast? Yes please! These “cookies” are more like a Cliff bar texture (a little less chewy) and make an excellent breakfast or snack. They are great to keep in the freezer and you can adjust the flavors however you want. They are free of added sugars and full of healthy fats and fiber […]
Plantain Pancakes
Naturally Gluten Free and Dairy Free
Who doesn’t love pancakes?! I love them, but I don’t love that they have no nutritional value (Bisquick) and give you a huge blood sugar spike, even if you don’t use syrup! Think those eggs and bacon will make you “fat”? Think again….It’s unfortunate that our country’s “typical” breakfast foods are mostly made with refined […]
