Vegan Herb Crackers

Finally, a gluten free cracker that is egg free as well!  Who do I have to thank for this tasty cracker?  Mark Sisson of Mark’s Daily Apple and author of The Primal Blueprint and The Primal Blueprint Cookbook.  I am a huge fan of Mark and his work.

Chardonnay Crackers

These healthy Chardonnay Crackers have a deep, rich and buttery flavor.  They’re great for everyday snacking or as an hors d’œuvre.  I like that they’re high in protein and have good fats (due to the almond flour) and full of antioxidants (in the Grape Seed Flour).  They’re a wonderful recovery snack as well after a

Rosemary Crackers

Photo courtesy of Almond Board of California I am loving working with the Almond Board of California to promote healthy eating.  Almonds are my favorite superfood –they’re full of protein, low in carbohydrates and packed with nutritious vitamins and minerals.

Vanilla Almond Butter

The creation of this delicious, homemade vanilla almond butter is hardly my own.  One of my favorite readers, Courtney, over at benefityourlife.com, gave me several amazing presents during the holidays and one was a bottle of super tasty vanilla almond butter from the lovely Katie Kearney over at naturallynutty.com.  Yum! This is a great product,

Vanilla Roasted Walnuts

I’m slightly addicted to these Vanilla Roasted Walnuts and so is my husband.  They have a hint of sweetness and a nice burst of vanilla goodness.  On top of that, Walnuts are a great source of Omega-3′s, have a high antioxident count and are also beneficial for cardiovascular health.  So I’m on the walnut bandwagon.

Candied Macadamia Nuts

Here’s another recipe for delicious gluten free candied nuts.  I love making candied nuts for the holidays.  They’re the perfect gluten free dessert, appetizer or snack.  And they make a great gift too.  The homemade version is much cheaper than store bought, tastes fresher and you know exactly what’s in ‘em! If you love macadamia

Candied Pecans

I love making candied nuts during the holiday season.  There’s something very festive about them and they are satisfyingly sweet and filling at the same time.  Lately I’ve been on a candied pecans kick.  They’re super easy to make and my husband loves them. You could jazz up this recipe with some spices like cinnamon

Rosemary Fig Crackers

I was reading our local paper yesterday and saw an article on Rosemary Fig Crackers (glutenoid of course) and decided I had to make my own gluten-free version (or g-free, if you prefer). These gluten free crackers are super easy to make and delicious as well.  My husband gave me the thumbs up on them.

Smoked Paprika Almonds

I recently received this comment from a reader who subscribes to my email feed: “I’m not interested in non-raw food recipes–as perhaps many others who view your postings. Perhaps you could, to avoid wasting such people’s time, simply note that this is a cooked food recipe, and then people can make an informed choice.” I

Raw Apple Sauce

I love apple sauce in any weather. The thought of turning on the oven to make some right now? Or lighting up the stove? In this heat? Not a good one. What to do? Make raw apple sauce. It’s tart, tangy, refreshing and delicious. On top of that, “uncooking” cuts back on energy consumption. It

My Favorite Trail Mix

Coaching my son’s little league team is a hoot. Technically, I am assistant coach. Make that “more than” technically; I am definitely assistant coach. Pete (my friend Blair’s husband) is head coach and he is fantastic. All fun, yet full of discipline and focus. It is so great to see how he hustles twelve little

Fig Tapenade with Walnut Crackers

Inspiration struck today. As did its friend creativity. The sun was bright for the third day in a row over here in Colorado and my faith in all things good returned. Whatever had a hold of me –seasonal affect disorder, Mercury in retrograde, who knows, who cares –it’s gone! I took a long slow walk

Power Bars

For the past few months, I have been playing around with power bar recipes. When I’m on the go, I want to grab something that is packed with nutrition, not too sweet and plenty tasty. I’ve made this power bar recipe a bunch of times now and my taste testers (that would be my husband

Sesame Crackers

Every time my friend Patricia, Pilates Diva extraordinary, comes over she walks out of the house with a handful of these gluten free crackers. I promised her I would make this gluten free cracker recipe my next post. Happy crunching! Gluten Free Sesame Crackers 3 cups blanched almond flour 1½ teaspoons celtic sea salt 1

Mango Tango

As the weather warms, I follow suit and warm weather fruits make their way into my shopping cart. Today I found gorgeous yellow mangos. I bought one and when I arrived home did the mango tango –a dance of slicing this slippery fruit. How to Slice a Mango Stand the mango on its end, with

Liberté, Egalité, Crudité

It’s a vegetable revolution! They’re back. Vegetables, that is. They never really left, actually. Sometimes we just forget about them. If I take 10 minutes to chop up some carrots, cucumbers and yellow peppers, the boys will eat them the moment they walk in the door from school. That bowl is usually empty by dinner.
