Hi Everyone and happy 2019! I hope this new year finds you on a productive path to your higher purpose. I have personally felt a strong tug toward new ideas and have begun shaping what those new ideas might look like. We’ll see where this new year energy takes me! In the meantime, I hope you’ll continue to enjoy the recipes created here in my home kitchen. As always, my goal is to provide you with both gluten-free and plant-based recipes that incorporate easy-to-find and clean ingredients.
The jewel of the season…CITRUS!
Today’s recipe was created using oranges from my own backyard. Although, not quite as sweet as last year, this crop is still extremely juicy and delicious! I truly believe nature adjusts as we move from season-to-season and year-to-year, giving us exactly what our bodies need at any given moment. Staying in tune with that basic idea provides a foundation for healthy eating year-round. My Gluten-Free Vegan Spiced Orange Loaf utilizes the juice and zest of homegrown oranges, picked directly from my backyard tree just before baking. The base flour mix is made with a mixture of gluten-free flours that I had on hand. Feel free to mix-it-up and use what you have as well. ENJOY!
Benefits of Oranges
Oranges are one of nature’s offerings that are perfectly suited for the winter months. They contain bioflavonoids which help neutralize free radicals and, when combined with vitamin C, work to increase immune health. During cold and flu season, that becomes a big bonus! Thank you Nature!
