This recipe was adapted from one by Pam Vagnieres‘ in an article called Make Your Own Protein Bars that ran last year in my local newspaper The Daily Camera.

Spiced Pecans
Posted on November 22, 2010
This recipe for Spiced Pecans is based on one I found in Dorie Greenspan’s book Around My French Table. I am in love with that book and have found so many recipes in it that are “naturally gluten free.” I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Greenspan at Blogher Food this year where she and

Spicy Power Bars
Posted on September 24, 2010
I’m eating one of these Spicy Power Bars as I type this. I’m slightly obsessed with them. Because they remind me of my past. About 20 years ago, when I was living in New York City and had just hooked up with my adorable husband, I became very interested in Ayurveda. One of the amazing

Posted on August 23, 2010
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
Posted on July 29, 2010
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 ) and full of antioxidants (in the Grape Seed Flour). They’re a wonderful recovery snack as well after a good

Rosemary Crackers: Video
Posted on June 9, 2010
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. The Almond Board asked me to create a cracker recipe for them so I have developed these wonderfully flavorful Rosemary Crackers made

Vanilla Almond Butter
Posted on January 22, 2010
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, and

Vanilla Roasted Walnuts
Posted on December 24, 2009
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 antioxidant count and are also beneficial for cardiovascular health. So I’m on the walnut bandwagon.

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
Posted on July 6, 2009
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.

Breakfast Bars
Posted on June 16, 2009
These hearty breakfast bars remind me of a granola bar or an omega-3 packed power bar. They’re filling and tasty. After I made a batch of these and was waiting for them to cool before cutting and stylizing them for a “photo shoot,” my younger son proudly taunted me that he had picked out all

Carrot Muffins
Posted on May 8, 2009
These gluten free carrot muffins make a great addition to any brunch menu, though especially one for Mother’s Day. These lightly sweetened muffins are made with high fiber coconut flour. Don’t let all that healthy stuff scare you off though, they’re mighty tasty. And with yacon sweetening them, they’re not too sweet. If you want

Raw “Tapioca” Pudding
Posted on January 23, 2009
Chia seeds are my new favorite food! Rich in fatty acids, these seeds contain more omega-3′s than any other vegetarian source. They are also quite high in anti-oxidants, minerals and fiber. Further, I find that they are quite soothing for my digestive system (and I’m always looking for a boost in that realm). I got

Smoked Paprika Almonds
Posted on January 13, 2009
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
Posted on July 29, 2008
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
