Sometimes, I’m nostalgic for the convenient “pour in a bowl & top with milk” cereal. After all, it’s so easy even a child could do it, and it doesn’t wake up the whole house the way a blender does. But even if I wanted to, I can’t have commercial cereal. The sugar drives me batty, […]

{Recipe} Chocolate Chocolate Chips Waffles (Gluten Free, Paleo)
I’m on a waffle and hot chocolate kick lately. I can’t think of anything better on a cold Sunday morning! This recipe is all gluten free, delicious, and last but not least, easy to make.

{Recipe} Strawberry Pineapple Protein Shake (Raw, Vegan, Paleo, Gluten Free)
Smoothies save my life several times a day. I once broke the top of the VitaMix‘s carafe, and had to send it to the company to get a new one. Well, I wrote to them a week later and said there was no way I could be without my blender for even a day. So […]
Creamy Vanilla Egg Chia Pudding {Ovo-Lacto Vegetarian, Gluten Free}
Eggs are an important part of our diet. Since we do not eat meat, we need a quality source of protein, fat, vitamin K2, choline, vitamin A and more. Eggs fit the bill. But, we don’t want to risk getting them from mistreated hens. Interestingly, I’ve noticed that the most healthful eaters eat plenty of animal products […]
Overnight Crock-pot Cinnamon-Apple Oatmeal
It doesn’t matter how fast you can make a smoothie. Sometimes, just the thought of mixing something up is more than you can handle. I’d blend up green smoothies any time, personally, but my husband often has to leave the house before I have time to make him breakfast and… I think he’d rather not […]
Chia Seeds Recipe: Chocolate Mousse Chia Pudding Recipe (Raw, Vegan, Paleo)
I have a deep love for chia seeds. These nutritionally miraculous little seeds are chock-full of omega 3 fatty acids, in which I believe the general population to be deficient. Add to this the fact that many people don’t eat fish, or don’t eat the right kinds of fish, and it’s easy to see how […]

Chia seeds are an amazing source of calcium, a mineral which can be a little hard to get in sufficient quantities on many diets.

Chia Seed Recipes: Chia Coconut Berry Parfait (+ 2 lbs of chia seeds giveaway!)
Modern diets are often deficient in omega 3 fatty acids, that’s a fact. And yet, our brain needs them to function optimally. Did you know that simple omega 3 supplementation can reverse mild depression and anxiety? And did you know that fish consumption does not necessarily guarantee proper intake of omega 3 fatty acids? I […]
