Savory Butternut Squash Soup with Oregano and Lemon
My friend KC Thor of KC’s Kafe developed this recipe a year ago for an episode on her What’s Cookin show. I’ve long awaited the new squash harvest this year and this is now my absolute favorite butternut squash soup recipe. It’s an amazing savory blend of flavors that is super easy to put together. I’ll be [...]
Gluten-Free Tabouli
One of my favorite vegetarian dishes, traditional tabouli, is made with bulgur wheat. Since becoming gluten-free I’ve made this version with quinoa (a gluten-free grain) which has a texture similar to bulgur. Quinoa also has more protein than any other grain! Quinoa is an ancient food, first used by the Incas who referred to [...]
Gluten Free No-Bake Pumpkin Seed Caramel Bars
I made these easy, nutrient packed bars while on vacation. I brought all the ingredients and assembled them in less than 10 minutes. I used soaked and dried pumpkin & sunflower seeds from Wilderness Family Naturals. Living Nuts is another place you can buy raw, soaked and dehydrated nuts that make great snacks on [...]
Decadent Gluten-Free Brownies
No More Wheat Since I’ve given up wheat products I have more energy, I don’t “live in a fog” and just feel better overall. This recipe uses coconut flour which is high in protein – combined with 6 eggs, this is a brownie you can enjoy, guilt-free. For Breakfast?? I’ve even allowed my kids to [...]
Fruit Mielleux (Honeyed Fruit)
I think everything sounds better in French. Being in France is ideal, my favorite visit once was to the little hilltop village of Perouge where the locals were welcoming and the food was magnifique’. The French have a way of taking everyday ingredients and making them special. This recipe is just that - a healthy, colorful salad to add several servings of raw fruits into [...]
Celebrate Easter With Resurrection Cookies
We’ve been celebrating Easter for years with this simple and delicious meringue cookie recipe. It’s become a tradition that all of our kids enjoy making and eating. The hollow cookie insides are a perfect representation of Jesus’ tomb on Easter morning. They’re pretty healthy too! I’ve adapted this recipe from one that I read first [...]
Peppermint Hot Cocoa
My kids like to drink hot chocolate several times a week in the winter. Most hot cocoa mixes contain chemicals, colorings and unhealthy sugars and sweeteners, some with Nutrasweet. Nutrasweet is also known as Aspartame and turns to ethyl alcohol when heated. I avoid these processed ingredients by making my own hot chocolate recipe. My [...]
Wolfberry Coleslaw
This recipe is from the Young Living “Healthy Cooking” cookbook. My whole life I’ve had an aversion to coleslaw, I’m not quite sure why except that I cannot eat mayonnaise and the coleslaw I’ve seen bears too similar a resemblance to the creamy white condiment I can hardly even smell. This is not the traditional [...]
Oven Roasted Seasonal Vegetables
I love to cook, but honestly the time I have to devote to cooking complicated recipes is limited. This basic recipe has become a staple for me, especially during the summer and fall when fresh produce is in abundance. I just made a batch of zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes and red onions for a quick and [...]
