Raspberry Smoothie
Posted on August 5, 2008
My birthday party last weekend was great fun. The only snafu? Excess victuals. There must have been 1 pie per person in attendance at our gathering.

Lemon Cooler
Posted on July 18, 2008
Looking for some cool refreshment? Then look below, not to the “recipe” above. I found this little yellow post-it in the kitchen today after my husband made the boys breakfast.

Almond Milk
Posted on September 30, 2007
This homemade, gluten free Almond Milk is a natural, dairy free milk alternative. Almond milk is one of my favorite drinks. Rich and creamy, it’s easy to make and super nourishing. While almond milk is a good alternative beverage for those on a dairy-free kick or raw food plan, I think it’s just plain delicious,

Warm and healing ginger licorice root tea for colds and adrenal health. This Ayurvedic recipe for Ginger Licorice Tea is a life saver, or least a throat saver. When it gets cold outside and our throats begin to get a bit scratchy, I put up a pot of ginger licorice tea. Sweet and spicy, the
