Coconut Cauliflower Rice
Bits of cauliflower enveloped in a toasted coconut milk and cardamom sauce. Coconut “rice” without the grains or starch. My girl Melissa from Clothes Make the Girl just launched her new cookbook, Well Fed 2 – a collection of recipes for people who love to eat. People who love to eat? That’s ME! (And I…
Quinoa Sweet Potato POW! Breakfast Cookies
Fresh roasted sweet potatoes mixed with dark chocolate pieces and winter spices to fill your morning with the goodness of sweet potato pie. I wake up at 7am whether my alarm is set or not. I stretch in bed, sit up, twist this way and that and jump in the shower, first thing.
Vegan Speckled Pumpkin Curry
A spicy pumpkin-based curry with pureed pumpkin, roasted pumpkin cubes and a coconut milk and vegetable-based broth. No tomatoes, grain-free and ultra soothing. Going to India last year (by myself) was the wisest, scariest, most satisfying thing I’ve ever done. I fell in love with the feeling of being free, I connected with myself in…
Oil-free Chocolate Pumpkin Protein Bars
Moist grain-free (and paleo!) protein bars made with pumpkin puree, protein powder and magnesium, drizzled with a healthy layer of melted chocolate. This week is all about the pumpkin! We’re kicking things off with two recipes today (I’ve included a new Pumpkin Latte Smoothie recipe at the end of today’s post… don’t miss it!).
Fruit & Veggie Smoothie Leathers
A healthy vegetable and fruit-based smoothie, made into fruit leathers for the perfect portable snack. It will work with any of your favorite smoothie recipes! It’s hard to believe that I’m already on day 4 of my 5-day juice kit-cleanse from Total Cleanse. As nice as it is to have full control over the juices…
Pumpkin Spice Quinoa Breakfast Cookies
Hearty breakfast cookies made with naturally gluten-free quinoa instead of oats and packed with pureed pumpkin, maple syrup and flax seeds. It’s the ultimate sinless breakfast treat! I love sharing my recipes with the world. Being able to do what I do, day in and day out is a huge blessing. And when I get…
Rockin’ Roots Warmed Kale Salad
Cinnamon roasted root veggies, combined with soft greens, toasted squash seeds and a garlic dressing. Serve this salad warm, fresh out of the oven. Kevin, Lexy, Pebbles, my Dad and I are nestled in the fifth wheel kickin’ it camping-style this long weekend. We slept in on Saturday, snacked on grain-free apple cornbread (yum!), played…
Sexy Lady Smoothie for Balanced Hormones
It’s been almost 2 months since I began hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The first couple of weeks were a bit rocky with minor sleeping issues, nausea, nervousness and irrational thoughts & behaviors. But, I am feeling pretty good now. My body is changing and it feels… right. For more details, read through my The Last…
Pumpkin Spice Muffin Mounds (gluten-free + paleo)
I tested this recipe a bunch of different ways to make sure it was absolutely perfect for you. Originally, I wanted to make coconut flour scones but no matter what I did, the flour just wouldn’t cooperate. The consistency was off. I’m sure it would have all come together had I used almond flour, but…
Easy Homemade Coconut Milk Using Shredded Coconut
Kevin has turned into a dairy-free milk monster. He adds it to his ginormous bowls of protein oats, whips up 1-2 protein smoothies per day, and even drinks the stuff! Coming from a guy who used to live on frozen meals and Cherrios (with 2% milk)… we’ve come a far ways.
