Lemony Date and Nut Balls

admin September 8, 2013 2 Comments
I have a thing for dates lately.  They are super sweet so they really satisfy the sweet tooth. Sometimes they even seem a bit like caramel.  Medjool dates seem to be the king of dates.  And I’ve had some (scrumptious), but oh my, they are super expensive.  So I don’t buy them.  However, I found dates at Sam’s Club that are affordable and super yummy.  They are moist and delicious; not...

Fun Finds Friday-Almost Sugar Free Lemonade

admin September 5, 2013 0 Comments
It’s Fun Finds Friday again!    Today I’m pointing you to a great lemonade recipe.  It makes a single glass.  Refreshing and easy to make, it's a great hot afternoon beverage.   It’s my first foray into using liquid stevia too.  I bought my stevia at Trader Joe’s.  It’s about half the cost of ones at Whole Foods.  Something like $6.99 vs. $14.99. I’ve made this a couple of...

Lemon Infused All Natural Energy Drink

admin August 28, 2013 0 Comments
I admit.  I drink soda. But not often; usually for a caffeine fix.  And while I do drink an herbal tea now and then in the winter, I’m not much of a “summer” tea person.   I have heard about yerba mate’ tea a few years ago and its natural uplifting properties.  And green tea has been all over the place for several years now boasting health benefits too.  But neither seem desirable to...

Oats And Ancient Grain Pancakes

Here’s another pancake recipe!  Even though I have several, I keep trying new recipes hoping to stumble upon the perfect one.   I’m not sure this is the perfect one, but it is good and easy.  Fresh is best, but they freeze well too!  They are also something to feel good about with lots of fiber and protein from the oats and ancient grains of quinoa, buckwheat or teff.  Unrefined...

Chocolate “Peanut” Butter Protein Bars

admin August 19, 2013 26 Comments
Sometimes I get overly excited in a place like Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods.  Like the time I thought buying chocolate hemp protein powder to make a chocolate shake was a good idea.  When I first tried it blended with rice milk it was horrible.  The next day I tried it with coconut milk and it was not much better.  Both concoctions went down the sink drain.   In an effort to not waste the...

Sweet Potatoes With Cranberries

If you have been following this blog for a while, you may have noticed that I’ve slowed down a bit.  Summer has been quite busy.  But truth be told, one of the real reasons is that I’ve been hooked on Downton Abbey.  I have spent my evenings watching the first three seasons of it.   I just love, love, love that show!  Anyone else? Another thing I love, love, love is sweet potatoes!  We...

Raw Applesauce

I am fascinated with the story of Jordan Rubin.  He is a book author, and the founder of Garden of Life; a whole line of vitamins, supplements, protein shakes, and so much more.  In fact, he is raising grass fed beef now too.  I do not use any of his products or beef, but I follow his company and story with interest.   His story is nothing short of miraculous.  He basically cured himself of...
