Black bean lentil tacos are a high-fiber meatless alternative to traditional tacos. They are also more economical and quicker to prepare than meat tacos. I wanted to share my favorite brand of gluten-free wraps. They are Siete brand and found in the refrigerated section of your healthier grocery store. They also have chickpea and almond flour versions. Or instead of using gluten-free wraps, I love this on a bed of greens, organic of course. It can always be served over organic rice or quinoa as a taco bowl. Speaking of, like always, use organic ingredients to lower your toxic load. Being primarily dairy-free is important to me as…

I found a classic milk-based recipe and converted it to non dairy tomato soup. Tomato soup evolves such strong positive emotions from my childhood. Nothing says home more than grilled cheese and tomato soup. I'm pretty sure I lived on it growing up. Hmm, maybe that's why I'm gluten and dairy intolerant?! However, we did throw in a few grilled peanut butter sandwiches along the way. Do you have a favorite food or foods that bring back positive memories of home? Not only did I convert to dairy-free but also gluten and oil-free. You never know when you healthily a recipe if it will convert as well. I…

Cabbage roll soup brings back so many memories of my mom's stuffed cabbage rolls or Golumpki. Golumpki is a traditional Polish dish and a labor of love. My dad was Polish and my mom was Czech so we had lots of great food to experience. I don’t know about your family, but my family bonded over food. Do you ever feel kinda yucky and you want your mom’s homemade chicken soup? Or smell corn beef and cabbage and remember New Year’s Day with your grandparents? Food often brings families together! I know I love making my mother’s cookies (with modifications) for Christmas and sharing our memories of her…

Are there health issues from drinking milk? Cow's milk specifically. Contrary to the billions of dollars the dairy industry paying actors and models drinking cow's milk, it doesn't do a body good. Here are just a few reasons why cow’s milk may not be a good option for our families and why you might want to take a closer look if it's used by your family. 1. Growth Hormones Hormones such as rBGH and rBST are genetically engineered hormones that are injected into cows to make them produce more milk. This causes problems in the milk and stimulates the production of the AGF-1 hormone. IGF-1 promotes cell division,…

If you’re like me and love pecans, you are going to love this maple pecan cauliflower recipe.

After completing a food intolerance test, I learned I was intolerant to all sugars (honey, agave, etc) and dairy so I needed to find substitutes. My goal was to go sugar free for 4-6 months and at about month three, I wanted cookies! I found a recipe, made a few modifications and finally came up with this! Like pure stevia sweetener, the monk fruit sweetener is highly concentrated so a little goes a long way. The key is using pure monk fruit to elminate fillers. My favorite is pure organic monk fruit sweetener from Julian Bakery. Ingredients: 1 cup of Almond Flour 1/2 tsp Organic Pure Monk Fruit…
