I’ve created this new variation of my Chia Fresca that’s even more nutritious, and has a wider range of flavor possibilities. I ran out of oranges one day and had to come up with something. So I used what I had available. I used frozen organic pineapple, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, and a scoop of the…

Vegan Ceviche
Traditionally, ceviche made with raw fish, marinated in lime juice with chopped up vegetables like tomato, cucumber, onion, cilantro, and grated carrot. It’s served on a tortilla, and often garnished with slices of avocado which make it really delicious. This is a vegan version, that’s very quick to make and equally delicious. It’s a great,…
Chia Fresca: Chia and Apple Cider Vinegar Tonic
This is my new morning drink ritual. I love it! When I wake up in the morning I can feel that I’m dehydrated. I think it happens to all of us naturally when we sleep. Chia seeds are great for stamina and, when soaked in water like this, they become very hydrating. This is an…

Peanut Butter have always been my favorite cookies, but I don’t often eat cookies because my body really doesn’t like wheat. So when I found a recipe for gluten free peanut butter cookies I had to try it. Since then I’ve made these several times. It turns out not only are they gluten free (and…
Gluten Free Banana Chocolate Chip Bread

Quick and Easy Savory Quinoa
Quinoa, like most grains, is a little bit boring by itself. Add some spices and a little coconut oil though and you can transform it into something that could be eaten all by itself. Well, I can at least.
I make this in my little rice cooker. Rice cookers are just perfect for cooking quinoa too. They automatically turn the temperature down to warm when the quinoa is perfectly cooked. And you don’t have to worry about them boiling over as long as you don’t fill them too close to the top.
You can cook it in a saucepan too, you just have to pay more attention to it.
Almond Banana Bread (Gluten Free)
This almond flour banana bread is moist and delicious. It’s not only wheat-free, gluten-free, grain-free, but dairy-free as well. I can’t even tell that this banana bread is not made with wheat flour, at least by taste. My taste testers couldn’t either, and they loved it. My body can tell that it’s wheat-free because I don’t get the usual symptoms that come from eating wheat.
