Cool for the Summer: Raw Vegan Creamy Celery Herb Soup Ohhhh yes, this raw vegan creamy celery herb soup recipe is a win! More raw soup. Souper delicious. Souper healthy. Creamy. Refreshing. Bursting with layers of flavor. So I went to the local farmer’s market Saturday morning and loaded up on organic veggies. Forgetting I […]

Organic Vegan 0g Sugar Paleo Dark Chocolate Recipe – No Sugar Alcohols Necessary Life without chocolate simply wouldn’t be worth living, so when it comes to healthy chocolate, I’ve become somewhat of an expert. Ok ok, expert is a bit of a stretch. But I’ve been doing all the necessary (and delicious!) research. Because I need sugar-free paleo […]

Pass the Cheese Please… Or not. So one of the things I miss most since I upgraded my diet after diagnosis is cheese. I am not alone. Cheese is one of the foods people miss most when they go dairy-free or vegan. I briefly dabbled with going vegan in the past but cheese was my […]

Cinco de Mayo vibes So I’ve been on a total Mexican food kick lately, thanks in part to Cinco de Mayo as well as the shift in weather. Cinco de Mayo kind of signifies a shift in my dietary habits and cravings, and even though the warm weather is still holding out on us up here in the […]

Eat like a rabbit My family celebrates Easter, and I celebrate any excuse to make treats. And of course I’m always on a mission to satisfy my sweet tooth in a healthier way, using real, whole foods ingredients and as little sugar (never refined of course) as possible.

My cauliflower makeover I’ll be honest. I wrote off cauliflower for years because it isn’t green. I didn’t get the point of white broccoli – if I was going to eat the vegetable, it may as well be the green version. But my perception of cauliflower has undergone a total transformation – extreme makeover edition.

Homemade sugar-free Nutella happened I knew I had to try to get something with hazelnuts onto my sugar-free chocolate menu, because chocolate-hazelnut is one of my favorite flavor combinations ever. Hello Nutella. I did not grow up with this stuff, but my world expanded in more ways than one when I studied abroad in Paris. There, […]

Homemade nut butter: Back to basics Before deciding to come up with some kind of raw Chocolate-Hazelnut Pie as the finale for my week-long sugar-free chocolate challenge, I had never attempted to make homemade nut butter. But I decided that homemade nutella was obviously the only way to move forward with this pie, so I got to work researching […]

The Brownie Project So I obviously needed to include brownies in my week of sugar-free chocolate treats. But the brownie project proved to be a bit stubborn. After a couple close-but-not-quite attempts, I decided to try a different tack and go with a raw bite rendition of the classic chocolate treat.
