If you have dairy and nut sensitivities, you probably are struggling like me to find a clean, milk alternative that tastes good but isn’t loaded with sugar. Good luck, right? Almost all grocery store brands contain gums, preservatives, sugar, vitamins, etc., and they are not a healthy alternative for us. Making it homemade is really…

Dark Chocolate Plantain Bread
I started cooking with plantains probably about five years ago now, and I have to say that my family and I love them! They are a very unique food, and they are quite tasty when cooked and used in a variety of different ways. Currently, I’m still having trouble introducing bananas back into my…
Easy, organic applesauce with an Instant Pot version
Most store bought applesauce products are packed in plastic and have preservatives, added juice, citric acid, vitamins and more added, not to mention they just don’t taste like homemade. This applesauce is made with two organic ingredients, as it should be: organic granny smith apples and organic Ceylon cinnamon. The taste is far superior to…
Easy, clean guacamole
We love guacamole in our house!! I’ve only had it occasionally over the last few years because many guacamole recipes have ingredients that I don’t tolerate with all of my food sensitivities. Even this simple one has ingredients that my body is having to adjust to eating, but boy it is good! Avocados are loaded…

Kids are bombarded with sugar as are adults, more than most people…

Snickerdoodle balls
You won’t find too many treat or dessert recipes from me yet. I don’t have many that I can eat. I’m working on more though. Too many treats or desserts will interfere with healing, weight management and your health. However, I find that eating too strict of a diet or limiting everything day in…

Cassava Flour Biscuits
I grew up on my mom’s homemade buttermilk biscuits. It was one of my favorite things growing up! If I close my eyes, I can picture being back in her kitchen and watching her “throw them together” as she’d often say, not even looking at a recipe. They’d taste perfect though. She used a small…
