Always on a hunt for the best Gluten Free bun, and mostly coming up empty. Some of them are not healthy at all, they just hide behind that "Gluten Free" tagline and try to make you think they are! Many times the gluten is quite simply replaced with other processed, GMO ingredients or sugar. We like Eggplant and Portobellos, but there's just something missing! So...after I fell in love with my Cauliflower Pizza Crust, I immediately thought....these could revolutionize my Grass

So my Brie en Croute is one of my husband's favorite things in the world. It is truly amazing; however, very indulgent and wrapped with Gluten. lol. I set out to give him that amazing flavor in a healthier way and without the Gluten. This was a true winner for sure! I love to roast an acorn squash and use it as a bowl for chili, soups, even taco bowl! Scooping up that nutty squash goodness along with whatever is stuffed in there is simply delicious and add's an extra veggie t

Not even going to lie....I just let my kids have this for breakfast. With Halo Top! Hahaha... but really, it's much better for them that most things that kids tend to eat for breakfast! Fruit, Nuts, Honey, Coconut Oil....not bad right? And they did help...so they might as well reap the benefits! ;) It was a hit and totally guilt free as far as desserts go! What you need... 7-8 Organic Granny Smith Apples, Peeled and Sliced the Juice of 1 Lemon 2 tsp. Coconut Oil Melted 1/2 ts

Okay....so one of my weaknesses used to be the hot lunch buffet at Whole Foods. But...I'm not a millionaire and I can't afford the calories you can pack in by hitting that amazingness regularly either. So, I set out to makeover a couple of my favorite healthy dishes from that buffet! They have a Garlicky Kale Salad with Parmesan that is AMAZING! So I cut the Parmesan and made my own little Vegan Dressing for that one! But they also have a lovely, crispy one with apples; hence

And my friends, THIS is where #Balance comes into play! I am not going to try to play like this is a super healthy recipe; it is not! However, you can customize it some many ways, with fruits, nuts and even crabmeat! I have been asked for this recipe more times than I can begin to count! It is THAT good! It makes for a beautiful appetizer to share with a group and freezes well for a break out item when you have company! There are hundreds of ways to alter this recipe and pre

A little trip down memory lane reminded me of a fruit salad my Grandma always used to make for Thanksgiving! ❤️ This is my little #makeover for it! But just as delish and heartwarming as hers! . .

🦃Gobble Gobble!! I love to do this one for Thanksgiving...or really any day! It pairs well with just about everything! . Don't be shocked when you want to have these every night! Years ago I fixed these for my 2 nieces who were about 10 years old then, and it's been a favorite ever since! A great way to get kids to eat them, but mine LOVE to pulse them in the food processor too and getting them involved makes them want to try anything they helped with! The touch of maple sy

I LOVE hearty raw salads! This is one of my favorites for any occasion or any day! I love the tangy crunch and that sweet finish of the cranberries! Believe it or not, this salad is also wonderful with raw shredded brussels sprouts or chopped raw green beans! Just run the brussels sprouts through the food processor or roughly chop the beans! 2 lbs. broccoli florets - (broccoli is not a member of the dirty dozen, so sometimes I get it organic, sometimes I grab those washed an

Herby Turkey - One of MANY ways to roast a Turkey! It's MUCH easier than people think...don't be intimidated! Ok...so this is just my take. The way you cook a turkey, to some people, is just as personal as what brand of toilet paper you keep in your home. ;) Controversial! So, please note....this is how I do it...how I have always done it...and it's always perfect. Not too overpowered, always juicy and flavorful. I know that some people believe in brining, and that's a gr

I make no bones about it, I LOVE a potato any way you slice it...or bake it...or whatever! But...I try to limit myself! There are plenty of other great carbs out with less of a glycemic impact and packed with healthy vitamins, minerals and antioxidants! Cauliflower is GREAT one!! At Thanksgiving, there are so many yummy vegetables, I like to leave room to get them all in! I know...mashed potatoes are a Thanksgiving staple, but shhhhhhhhh.....I have fooled people with Bours

I'm not really sure when "The Holidays" technically begin, but seeing that the kids are out of school 3 days next week, Thanksgiving is Thursday followed by Black Friday, our first Christmas party is next week and the dominos have already started falling....I'm going to say the Holidays have arrived! Tis the season for a little more indulgence than normal, a ton of GO GO GO, less time, more to do and added stress that can cause you to cave! So, here are my 15 Tips to Stay Hea

Cranberries! They start appearing around Thanksgiving, but there are So many health benefits to them; giving reason to keep them around for more than just Turkey Day! 🍊They pack a particular type of antioxidant that forms a barrier between certain cell walls and bacteria! Especially in the lining of the stomach, the uterine wall and even your gums and teeth! Hence, that sour pucker of the tannins!! 🍊Vitamin C 🍊Anti-inflammatory 🍊Great source of Iodine So I know that ev
