Pancakes. That’s what my grandpa would always make us every time we’d have family get-togethers (ok maybe that’s just what I asked for every time I saw him). When I was little, he would even make silver dollar pancakes for me and my sister to just pop into our mouths! Naturally, as I discovered that
Recipes
Carrot Cake Bars
I love dessert. Most of the recipes that I experiment with in my kitchen are sweet treats and dessert recipes. Since I have an intolerance for dairy, gluten, and fructose, I always go for refined sugar free, dairy free, and gluten free. Just because my normal diet or way of eating is different doesn’t mean I don’t
Crappy Cravings
The body is an amazing source of intelligence. It is always there for you, pumping blood, never skipping a heartbeat, digesting whatever food you put in it and maintaining homeostasis. So why is my reliable, intelligent bio-computer craving a tub of Justin’s Chocolate Almond Butter, or juicy burger and fries? Am I too weak? Don’t
Raising the Bar
Remember these? That’s what I knew as granola bars growing up. That’s what I put in my dance bag to have as a “healthy” snack between classes. It had oats in it, which are healthy right? Yes but what about all the other ingredients? Most protein and granola bars have soy lecithin, soy protein, corn
Healthy Fresh Mexican Salad
In honor of Cinco de Mayo I wanted to share one of my favorite Healthy Fresh Mexican Salads. Most Mexican dishes are filled with beans, cheese, and corn.

I don’t understand how someone who eats meat cannot like anything bacon wrapped, effused, cooked with, etc but she gives me the stank eye every time the smell wafts into her bedroom. She did however give me a cute bacon flatten-er for Christmas last
Breakfast of Champions
For me breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. It’s nutrients and energy will take you through out your day, so why not start off on the right foot food? When I did my elimination diet, I struggled to find what I should eat for breakfast. I wasn’t eating any grains (byebye
I Need the Crunch
Kale Chips: The crunch without a bunch (of unhealthy things like potato chips have). Who doesn’t love snacking on some chips? My favorite combination use to be Ruffels Original potato chips with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I loved the crunch so much, I used to put them right ON my sandwich. As I started to eat cleaner,
Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti
Spaghetti was one of my favorite meals as a kid but it left me feeling uncomfortably full, weighted down, and sluggish. My body was telling me something and I wasn’t listening. Sound familiar? Have no fear, squash is here! That’s right, it’s squash season and spaghetti squash is a more nutritious choice for making pasta
