Shiitakes are my new superfood! I think our bodies instinctively crave some things it needs to heal. By listening to our body we can make great strides towards our own good health! About a year and a half ago I was introduced to these little beauties by going on a yeast cleanse. I wasn’t allowed […]
Make your own almond milk in minutes!
Did you know that you can whip up some milk way quicker then you can go buy it at the store and it’s cheaper and much healthier too? I have been dairy free for about a year and a half and I mainly consume almond milk and coconut milk. I was buying it at the […]
Stuffed Tex-Mex wraps GF, Dairy Free
Last night for dinner I was getting tired of the same old thing so I thought I would try something totally different.

Easy and Quick Dill Pickles
Sticking with the theme of fermenting foods to strengthen the immunity, I thought it wouldn’t be complete without a great pickle recipe to add to the mix!

Nourishing Peach Crisp
The peaches are ready and they are so good this year! One of our favorite desserts in the past was always some sort of fruit crisp. My husband was recently diagnosed with Diabetes and I have my own diet restrictions so I wanted to try to take an old favorite and make it a little […]
Chia Pudding Parfait
Chia is an absolute powerhouse of nutrition all rolled into one tiny little seed….. I’m always looking for new and different ways to get the most nutrition for something that actually tastes good. Since I have the AG allergy I can’t really do gelatin unless it comes from fish or chicken which can be a little […]
