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…

Gluten is a compound protein that composes about 80% of the protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten can be found in many things such as; chocolate, imitation crab (surimi), deli meats, soy sauce, and other sauces along with vitamins and even some toothpaste. Gluten is also used in anti-caking agents, malt beverages, and soups. If you have a gluten-sensitivity or Celiac disease, you must read all labels. I have gluten intolerance and have been gluten-free for years and still read labels. The 6 grains to avoid that contain gluten are Wheat, Rye, Barley, Malt, Spelt and Oats (unless gluten-free), What is Gluten Sensitivity versus Celiac disease?…

These treats are delicious for dessert or breakfast! The original recipe called for dried apricots but since I had dried mango on hand, I substituted. Be sure to use organic for all ingredients as conventional fruits and nuts contains toxic preservatives. Nuts, especially walnuts, can also contain BHT as a preservative which has to been linked to increased risk of cancer. Dried fruits may contain sulphur dioxide (sulfites) which has been linked to respiratory issues. The #1 Rule is to read ingredient labels and buy organic! 1 c of dried organic apricots or mango 1 c. pitted dates 1/2 c raw organic almonds 1/2 c raw organic cashews 1/2…

Planning is the key to success when the goal is improving your health. Slow-cooking is an easy way to plan your week with healthy meals. Plan ahead by making one crockpot meal and one stovetop meal on the weekend to ensure you have good options throughout the week. This reduces the temptation to stop and grab fast food. 1 lb chopped organic carrots 1 medium white onion, chopped 6 oz organic skinless, boneless chicken breasts or thighs 2 cups of chopped pineapple 1/3 cup brown sugar 1 Tbsp nonGMO low-sodium Soy sauce or Bragg's Liquid Aminos 1/4 tsp of pink Himalayan salt salt 1/2 tsp ground ginger 1/4 tsp…

Need a sweet healthy treat to take to an event that you can make in minutes, no bake chocolate energy bites is the recipe you want. I bring this to most events and now those who have tasted them, request me to bring! You don't need much of the sweetener as the chocolate chips provide that. I've put as little as 2-3 Tablespoons of pure maple syrup and they are still delicious. I also use the organic no sugar added chocolate chips from Hu Kitchen to reduce the sugar. It is key to read labels on ingredients as sometimes healthy items such as protein powders can contain high…

This simple oven fried fish recipe is one of our family's go-to meals. Growing up eating fish every week while living in Michigan holds fond memories for me. My dad loved to fish in summer and ice fish in the winter. He was always willing to take me with him. Every Friday night was always fish night whether at home or at the local restaurant/bar! And it was always fried fish with french fries. This prompted me to find a recipe that modeled fried fish without the health implications of traditional fried food. Using coconut oil helps with that. We love to serve the fish with either homemade…
