{Recipe} Heather Pace’s Grain Free Granola Bars {Gluten Free, Vegan, Paleo}
Back when I was writing the Nourished Village Cookbook, volume 1, I hired Heather Pace of SweetlyRaw.com to create recipes for the community. Here’s one of her contributions: “This is a completely grain free granola bar recipe that I really love. They store well in the freezer so I recommend making a double batch to […]
{Recipe} Triple Chocolate Mint Cheesecake {Raw, Vegan, Paleo, Gluten Free}
With Saint Patrick’s Day just around the corner, what could be better than a mint flavored, creamy cheesecake with a triple dose of chocolate?

I created these truffles with my husband, a chocolate lover and connoisseur if there ever was one! I created the mix, he tasted it, and helped me roll the truffles into their familiar round shape. He recommends using a melon baller, and scraping the batter along the edges of the bowl so it’s easier to […]
{Recipe} Joanna Steven’s “Famous” Chocolate Muffins {Gluten Free, Paleo}
Chocolate Muffins. Need I say more? These tasty morsels are packed with protein and good fats, but are moist, tender, and bursting with gooey chocolate chips throughout. They take minutes to make, and will stay fresh for 2-3 days in a tightly sealed container. When I first released this recipe to the Nourished Village community, […]
{Recipe} Chocolate Egg Custard Chia Pudding {Gluten Free, Paleo, Vegetarian}
Chia puddings play such an important role in our diet. They are super rich in omega 3 fatty acids, which help develop a strong and healthy brain while warding off depression and anxiety, and they’re packed with calcium, protein, and other important nutrients. But you can’t tell your kids to eat them because they’re good […]
{Recipe} Gluten Free Apple Walnut Muffins {Gluten Free, Dairy Free}
