Healthiest Ever Winter Salad
I call this “HEALTHIEST ever” salad because it is FULLY LOADED with anti-cancer veggies, and is crunchy and delicious. Kale and Cauliflower guard against all kinds of cancer, and walnuts are especially preventative against breast cancer. I’ve also added hemp seeds for your omega 3 boost, and goji berries to keep your eyes strong. Ingredients: […]
Coconut Chia Muffins
My coconut chia sugar-free, gluten-free muffins are a healthy and sweet take on a lemon poppy seed muffin. They are moist, succulent and delicious served warm for a breakfast over the holidays. They are not dairy-free, but you can always adjust by using egg replacer and nut milk instead of the kefir. Yields approx […]
Coconut Rice Pudding
My family tradition from my Dad’s side (Danish) is to eat a sweet rice pudding as an appetizer – YES – an appetizer! It’s supposed to be topped with beer and cinnamon sugar. Since I don’t drink alcohol or eat sugar – I know BORRRRRRING, I’ve made a healthier version so that I can still […]
Creamy Coconut Pumpkin Soup
I love Pumpkin Pie pumpkins because they’re a little more manageable that those huge decorative pumpkins. I wanted to experiment and create a velvety pumpkin soup that is Thanksgiving-worthy, because it’s a good time to start practicing. The very mild curry and coconut taste layers in beautifully with the buttery roasted pumpkin. Pumpkin packs a […]
Apple Butter
My insanely good recipe cooks overnight in your slow-cooker, and is delicious when spread on a rice cake, or as a topping for plain tart yogurt. Ingredients: 6½ pounds apples, peeled, cored and sliced (I used a combination of Granny Smith and Fuji) 1 cup granulated sugar* 1 cup light brown sugar* 1 tablespoon […]
Pumpkin Chai Scones
These pumpkin chai scones are both dairy (egg is optional), and gluten-free. They are scarily good, and very easy to make. I’ve just scoffed down 2 of them (take that plate away!!!!) with a mug of Chai tea. Ingredients Pumpkin Chai Scones 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour 1 1/2 cups almond meal 1tbsp ground flax […]
Smoothie Packs are the Secret to my Morning
Pre-made smoothie packs are the secret to my morning. Most of us love a morning smoothie, but it can involve quite a lot of time putting it all together, right? Especially if you have to root around in a crisper drawer or kitchen cabinet when you haven’t even had a sip of coffee yet! This […]
Lemon Blackberry Scones
I’ve just spent the last week in England “blackberrying” because the countryside roads where my Mom lives are flanked with hedges of wild “brambles”. Wild blackberries have a completely different flavor to the ones I get in the farmers markets back in LA (which are totally grown in a hot house because they’re available year […]
How To Choose A Healthy Salt
Is is possible that salt can actually be good for you? I hope so…because I love my salt. As is the case with most foods that have a bad rap, it’s the processed version that is bad for our health. The minimally processed kind is more likely to contain the nutrients that nature intended it […]
DIY Flavored Extracts
I’m so psyched that I figured out how easy it is to make my own flavored extracts! I get to save a ton of money because if I buy a pure, organic extract it’s going to cost me around 12 bucks a bottle, when I make my own, it’ll cost me half that price. Plus […]
