Hormone-Balancing Hot Cocoa Mix This has been a favorite beverage of mine this winter, by far. I have at least one (usually two) mugs of this stuff every single day. Not only is it warm, comforting, and deliciously sweet, but it is energizing (not with caffeine jitters) yet calming. And I actually feel clearer headed [...]
Pumpkin Brownies I made this recipe (doubled) last week, and my husband ate half of the batch (sorry honey) in one day! I had to hide a few pieces to make sure I got some! To cut the fat (and reduce the cost) you could swap out half of the almond butter for 1/2 can [...]
Delectable Pumpkin Fudge This recipe was taken from my own Decadent Chocolate Fudge Recipe, with just a few additions. Fall brings cooler weather, falling leaves and pumpkin. What better use of this delicious food than add it to a simple fudge recipe! You can also use cashew butter for a creamier consistency like the fudge we know. [...]
Wild Green and Berry Smoothie Combining berries and greens in a smoothie results in a beautiful burgundy-purple beverage that’s as tasty is it is pretty. Some green smoothie fans recommend that nothing but fruit, greens, and water should go into them for maximum digestibility. Others like to use juice or a nondairy milk rather [...]
Frosted Coconut Cake, Gluten-free I copied down ingredients of this cake from a Martha Stewart Living Show years ago. I have since adapted it to be sugar-free, egg, gluten, and dairy-free. Her original recipe called for 1 1/2 cups flour, 3 eggs, 1/2 cocoa, and 1 cup of honey. I substituted gluten-free flours (along with [...]
Decadent 5-Ingredient Fudge (Veronica's Fudge Addiction) This is my all-time favorite fudge recipe. I enjoy making this during the holidays for a healthy alternative to fudge. But I find that I often make it throughout the year as well, whenever I need a treat. If you use freshly ground almond butter, unsalted, then the [...]
Quick Christmas Candy 'Tis the most wonderful time of year! Sure, family and friends make the holiday season oh-so cheerful, but the abundance of Christmas cookies, gingerbread houses, and delectable Christmas candies are what make it the sweetest time of the year! 1 cup honey1/8 tsp baking soda1 cup almond butter1/2 cup chocolate chips (melted [...]
Super Easy Christmas Fudge I wish I could remember where I picked up this Super Easy Christmas Fudge recipe, but boy is this my new favorite recipe to make, especially when I am wanting a treat. The original recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk, but I use sweetened condensed coconut milk, which, of course, eliminates [...]
Watermelon Lime Slushy Ohhhh….for the taste of summer in glass! Nothing is more refreshing than an ice cold watermelon slushy on a hot, summer day! Only 2 ingredients! It’s best if you freeze chunks of watermelon (seeds and all) for this, but if you haven’t planned ahead on this, go ahead and use fresh [...]
Homemade Chocolate with Goji Berries This recipe was taken from Magdalena Wszelaki’s site. I just made a couple changes. If you want a cultured chocolate to help you with candida, or just to add probiotics then go ahead…be brave…add the probiotic capsule. I dare ya! 1 cup cocoa butter1 cup unsweetened raw cacao powder8 drops stevia1 [...]
