When going grain-free, gluten-free, or low carb, one of the things we hear most from our clients is, “What? No bread?”
After talking them off the ledge (kidding), we explain why gluten and grains can prevent them from achieving their health and wellness goals, especially if they are...
Oh granola! How we love you so! You’re crunchy and sweet. But we have to break up with you because you have too much sugar and far too many carbs. We need a better balance of carbs, protein, and healthy fat. And we need something grain-free (for those of us who don’t tolerate grains)....
An apple a day keeps the doctor away! And now that it’s fall, we are loving all of the organic apples available in the market and farmer’s market (where you will find many more varieties!).
And what pairs better with apples than peanut butter? Naturally, we had to make a nutritious...
When you think of muffins, what’s the first thought that comes to mind?
Yummy? Comfort food? Calorie and sugar bomb?
All of those are right on the money. So how do we come up with a recipe that maintains the yummy taste and comfort food memories without it being a calorie and...

What’s better than dessert? How about a no bake dark chocolate cashew butter bar?
Yep, that’s a mouthful to say, but so worth it!
It’s our version of a Reese’s peanut butter cup, but without the refined sugar and trans fats. And it’s gluten-free and dairy free. What...
Who doesn’t love a warm, chewy, chocolate chip cookie?
We remember baking Nestle Toll House cookies as kids. Waiting nine minutes for them to bake seemed like an eternity. Then, we had to wait for them to cool off just enough so that we wouldn’t burn our mouths as we gobbled them up.

You know what sounds pretty good right now?
Bread
Really good tasting, moist, dense, good-down-to-your-bones bread. The kind you eat still warm with a little shmear of grass-fed butter, ghee, or your favorite nut or seed butter. But the bread also has to have personality. A flavor...
Did someone say pancakes?
Pull up a chair, because we’ve been making these pancakes NONSTOP for the past few days. Why? Well, they’re nutritious. And delicious. And easy to make.
Did we mention they’re nutritious? Gluten-, grain-, and dairy-free. High protein, healthy fats, high...
You know how much fun it is to eat cookie dough? It’s probably the highlight of making cookies from scratch.
The problem with most cookie dough recipes is that they contain eggs, which shouldn’t be consumed raw, unless you like gambling on salmonella.
So we created a cookie dough...
If you don’t know it already, we are big fans of breakfast. Heck, we even wrote a Breakfast Cookbook! One of our top breakfast tips is to make sure to have protein and fat at breakfast because they are very satiating and slow to digest. This will keep your blood sugar and energy...
