I discovered some very interesting facts about raw cacao powder, hemp seeds, chia seeds, zinc, iron, magnesium & antioxidants, then made a raw smoothie. Meant to say, “raw cacao powder has higher levels of antioxidants than blueberries…”—sorry about that 🙂 Note: You can add more raw cacao powder or coconut sugar to this to make…
Curried Sweet Potato & Red Lentil Pie gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free
A few days ago, on the Spunky Coconut Facebook Page , I asked what everyone had eaten for dinner. It was very inspiring to read what you all said, and I decided to try a couple of things you made myself, beginning with Jennifer. Jennifer said she made a curried sweet potato lentil pie. Um? Yum!…
Mint Chocolate Protein & Omega 3 Shake vegan, dairy-free, raw
I had an “Ahhh!” moment today, when I realized that the paved trail we used to walk a few times a week was not covered in snow and ice, but rather plowed by the city. How nice! So we took a walk, about a mile each way, and enjoyed all the animal tracks on the…
Coconut Peach Porridge dairy-free
The verdict is in on this peach porridge: It’s split 50/50 between the four of us, but to be fair, Andy doesn’t like hot cereal or pudding or anything with that kind of texture. Zoe, who is 7, was the one I was most hoping would like it, and she didn’t—bummer. She is so picky!—argh!…
Dairy-Free Hot Cocoa
Did you ever drink a Shaklee protein shake or Ovaltine? This hot cocoa reminds me of those, only it tastes better, in my opinion. :0) And, of course, mine is free of casein and whey (or any other kind of dairy), soy, refined sugar, or anything else I don’t want to eat or feed my…
Pick-up day with Azure Standard
I love Azure! Today we picked up our monthly boxes from the truck. We always get really excited about all the yummy organic ingredients that we get in bulk and save a ton of money. Here we are opening them. Love, Kelly PS Don’t forget I added links to the stores where I buy my…
Le Peep in Longmont, CO + Outrageous Grains gluten-free waffles…
It’s a beautiful thing. Jeff at Le Peep in Longmont, has teamed up with Pamela, of Outrageous Grains (formerly titled Aunt Kay’s Gluten-free Creations), and what a treat it is. Just look at this waffle… I can hardly explain how insanely good this waffle is. Fluffy inside, crispy outside… Completely out of this world. My…
Gluten Free Crepes
One of the only things I sometimes miss from my former gluten-filled life is crepes. Andy and I used to go out for breakfast on the weekends and if crepes were on the menu, then crepes I would order. I loved their delicate texture and of course, the taste. These gluten free crepes are based…
Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
I may have mentioned already on the Spunky Coconut Facebook Page, but we made cookies using the Goji Chocolate Pie Crust. I’m not a big cookie person myself; I’d rather eat the cookie dough =) My husband and kids on the other hand, love baked cookies. The good news is that this gluten free chocolate…
Gluten Free Marble Cake
This cake is so decorative and so delicious. You might say it tastes as good as it looks 😉 I thought it would be perfect for a party or your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day. It’s not an entirely new recipe. I just used my Vanilla Bean Cake recipe, and substituted 1/2 cup cocoa powder to…
