This crust is flaky, delicious and gives white flour crusts a run for their money! It’s not super low carb, nor does it adhere to the paleo religion (if you swing that way), but it’s a great whole foods, gluten free option with superb texture and taste. It smells heavenly while baking as well. It is […]
Ketchup, catsup, what’s up? It’s easy, no added sugar and delicious, that’s what!
How do I love ketchup? Let me count the ways! Ketchup and I spent a long time away from each other because sugar tore us apart. I was willing to forgo my sweet tomatoey friend to save myself from sugar induced inflammation–not just the kind you read about and understand intellectually, but the kind you […]
This Ain’t Yo Mama’s Meatloaf!
Actual wellness coaching client quote: “I cannot get over how amazing this meatloaf is! It will satisfy my pizza cravings.”- Loren, lactation nurse and emerging healing foods lover. The sound of the word “meatloaf” used to give me the willies. Why? Meatloaf trauma. It evoked brownish green bell peppers, mystery meat mushed together with Wonderbread, Heinz ketchup topping, […]
Awesome Paleo Seed Bread
We can still hardly believe it! Someone actually came up with a gluten-free, relatively slow carb (low glycemic), high nutrient, honest to goodness bread recipe. Just like more conventional bread, you can slice it, toast it, eat it cold or room temperature. You can make sandwiches, french toast, burgers, bruschetta, and so on and so on. […]
Frittata: A Balanced One Dish Wonder
We love eggs! Especially the yolks! Not only are they delicious and satisfying, they are one of the most nutritionally complete and affordable foods available. We are also big fans of one-pot, or, in this case one-pan, meals because having all of the elements of a balanced meal in one dish fills the niche that […]
Pico de Gallo Style Salsa Fresca
Fresca means fresh! Making your own salsa fresca, such as this traditional pico de gallo, is easy, delicious and most times healthier than store bought salsa from a jar. We love how simple some authentic Mexican food can be. Mexican people have figured out how to repackage cilantro, onion, lime juice, chile peppers and tomatoes a bazillion different ways […]
No-Bake Pie Crust (Gluten-Free)
It takes a bit of finesse to get a gluten-free pie crust to be flaky, but not crumbly. On top of that there is the issue of how much to cook it. Do you pre-bake it or will that cause it to burn when you bake the actual pie? No matter how insurmountable they may seem, I don’t […]
Nirvana Tacos: How Collards Found Their Divine Purpose
Yes, a collard leaf instead of a tortilla. Sound weird to you? Trust us. Just try it. It’s sooooooo good. Really. We have a dear friend named Mystica, creator of Essential Oxygen Brushing Rinse (which we love), who came up with the name “Nirvana Tacos” to describe what we can only describe as collard leaves’ […]
