Are you trying to eat whole foods or just eat healthier foods with natural ingredients and less sugar, dairy, and wheat? If so, make your own granola! You can eat it as a snack just like it is, or you can put it in a bowl with a little almond milk or coconut milk and eat it…
We hear a lot of discussion today about clean eating, real food, whole foods, and gluten free eating. What does it all mean? For those who want to try to get healthier and eat healthier foods, all of these terms can be confusing and overwhelming. This week, I’d like to talk a little about clean…
With dairy-free, sugar-free options required more and more these days, it can be difficult to find desserts that replace the deliciousness of the dairy and sugar-filled versions. Recently, a friend shared her version of this one for chocolate ice cream, and it’s been a WINNER! It’s simple, not too expensive, and simply delicious. It can…
One of the things I worried most about when I started eating gluten free was how to satisfy my sweet tooth and stay gluten free! I try not to eat sweets too often because even gluten free sweets are unhealthy, but we all know that we’re going to indulge now and then. If eating gluten…
My son’s birthday was coming up, and I asked him what kind of cake he wanted. He immediately said he wanted chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and strawberries on top. Alrighty then! I set out to come up with a recipe that wasn’t just healthy, but that was also delicious. After experimenting with gluten…
It has been almost 2 years since I began eating gluten free. I’ve learned a lot during those 2 years, but I’m still learning more about eating GF and coming up with (or finding) GF alternatives for some of my family’s favorite meals, desserts, and snacks. A few days ago, I started craving chicken pot…
In a previous article, I gave some information about eating clean. I explained a little about what clean eating is and why you might want to give it a try. But once you’ve decided to try out the clean eating lifestyle, how do you make the change? It can be difficult to change from the…
It was about three years ago that I found Lisa Leake and her 100 Days of Real Food blog. I didn’t know it at the time, but our eating habits, pantry contents, food budget, and health were about to change. I was about to learn how to eat clean. We took part in her 10 day challenge,…
Constance, who usually posts one of her delicious dinner recipes on Thursdays, is swamped this week, so I’m filling in for her today. 🙂 I chose to share a recipe from my sister because it really truly is a super yummy recipe! I think you will enjoy this gluten free dessert! It can be very…
What happened to the plain and simple terms of dinosaurs? They were either herbivores (eating only plants), carnivores (eating only meat), or omnivores who had their feet in both worlds! In recent years I have been exposed to so many terms related to what people eat or don’t eat (or can and can’t eat), that…
This recipe is one of our family favorites. It is great timing for this one with the cooler weather approaching. It is a great alternative to chilli. Seriously, this is the easiest recipe to dump in the crockpot in the morning and let it cook on low all day. Great for a day that you…
This is a new favorite recipe around my house. I haven’t cooked much with curry in the past. My family tends to be a creature of habit. We find some foods we like and we eat them over and over… I find that is just easier after my full day of homeschooling. We will…
