What’s a salad without a little crunch? I’ve been eating salads for years topped with my own homemade croutons but when Megan was diagnosed with Celiac Disease and could no longer have gluten, I had to come up with a new crunchy twist. Today I’m sharing my idea of a nut-free and gluten-free alternative to…
Simple Strawberry Sorbet
What goes into a “simple” dessert? For me, a simple and healthy dessert starts with limited ingredients that can be thrown together quickly. My Simple Strawberry Sorbet uses only four ingredients but can easily be made with three. My fourth powerhouse ingredient is the addition of camu camu powder from Navitas Naturals, making this simple…

Nuttzo Warrior Cookie Bites
Much of my life as a teenager was spent as a cookie kind of girl, you know the type, a little pudgy around the middle and desperately seeking sugar! Thank goodness those days are behind me. After almost 30 years of eating mostly plants, my desire for sugary treats is not nearly as strong as…

The age-old dilemma for most mothers: It’s 5:30 a.m. and the alarm goes off, the needs of the day begin to pull at your blissful slumber, the clock continues to tick and the question remains…”What’s for breakfast mom?” And so it goes…another day, another meal and very little time to get it together. A quick solution for any busy…
Green Goddess Dressing
When it comes to dips and dressings, keeping it simple without the use of added oil is the way to go. The need for quick and healthy snacks during the week is a must for most busy families, but offering veggie sticks can get a bit boring. My solution is to serve these crispy delights (typically…
