I’d like to introduce you to my favorite Thai sauce, and in my opinion the best Thai sauce. It’s packed with vitamin C, folate, and potassium, and uses fresh ingredients you may already have on hand. I avoid soy sauce and other processed ingredients in favor of natural juices, sweeteners, nut butter, and salt. I …
Strawberry Ripple Frozen Yogurt
Here’s my rendition of strawberry ripple frozen yogurt. The addition of lemon and salt make this lip-smacking good. I usually prefer straight, sweet ice cream or frozen yogurt that tastes like ice cream exclusively, however this frozen yogurt tastes like strawberry ice cream. And is it me or does it seem like strawberries are available …
Zucchini Lasagna {grain free}
There are many ways to make lasagna, including the traditional way. My first grain-free lasagna recipe is my Mexican Lasagna, which uses tortillas as noodles. This recipe for Zucchini Lasagna is a simple take on grain-free lasagna using zucchini slices as noodles. I make it dairy free by using my recipe for ricotta cheese using …
Roasted Asparagus
Roasting asparagus is quick and easy, concentrates the flavors, and makes the bite tender. I go basic, with oil and salt, but feel free to use alternatives like lemon and oil and maybe a pinch of pepper. I use a high heat to roast but you can probably lower the heat a bit and roast …
Ricotta Cheese {dairy free}
I love this quick and easy recipe for ricotta cheese for it’s simplicity, texture, and flavor. Besides using it in dishes that call for ricotta cheese, I spread it on crackers, bread, and use it in place of cheese in just about everything. It makes it so easy for me to be dairy free. I …
Immune Juice Boost
Are you looking for a tasty way to give your body a boost? Do you own a juicer? Here’s my current favorite immune-boosting juice. After being seriously run down last fall I consulted a doctor to find ways to strengthen my immune system. She had a very simple list for me: take zinc and a lot …
Raspberry Beet Ice Cream {dairy-free}
Raspberry beet ice cream is a treat that is sweetened only by fruits you use to make it. You do want to plan ahead a bit by freezing the very ripe bananas, raspberries, and milk. Like my other banana-powered ice creams, this is most like ice cream when all the ingredients are fully frozen, but you …
Ice Box Cookies {almond flour}
You’re going to want to make room in your freezer for ice box cookies. They use almond flour and cocoa butter, and are both buttery and crunchy when stored in the refrigerator or freezer. The bonus is that they’re quick and easy to make and ready any time! Cocoa butter is a solid at room …
Roasted Radishes
I highly recommend roasting radishes and then dipping them in a creamy ranch dressing, ketchup, or your favorite salad dressing. Even if you’re not a fan of raw radishes, you may be surprised at how different they taste when they’re roasted. They taste very much like small roasted potatoes. Radishes are a root vegetable that …

Pickled Carrots {quick & easy}
You’ll be amazed how easy it is to pickle carrots (or other veggies for that matter!), and how good they are. The play of sweet carrot and sour juice is a great combination, plus the added benefit of vitamin A, K, B6, and potassium. Pickling is a way to preserve food by letting it sit …
Avocado Kale Salad {lemon honey dressing}
Avocado and kale go great together. Avocado is a great source of healthy fat and kale is loaded with vitamins (A, B, C, and K) as well as a good dose of manganese, fiber, and protein. Kale is a bit tougher and more fibrous, as green leaves go, so using your hands to tear it …
