Above: Before adding the lid to the powder and shaking to combine. It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with healthy fats. Coconut, hemp, avocado, avocado oil, avocado oil mayo, olives, olive oil, almond butter, cashew butter, 70% or higher dark chocolate… the list goes on and on. Fats make you feel satisfied, so much so…

Healthy Green Shamrock Shake for St. Patrick’s Day!
I am swoooooning over this brand new copper Vitamix in my newly renovated kitchen!! Gorgeous! It also fits nicely under my upper cabinets that we chalk painted white on the other side of the kitchen. The first thing I did when I got this pretty and very powerful Vitamix was make some healthy dairy-free Shamrock…
Best Ever Hot Cocoa!
In the photo above you will notice a rather goofy-looking ball desk chair, toy ball and felt sword (I have at least 4 toy balls and 2 felt swords floating around the house at any given moment, I mean who doesn’t?), a barely visible cat, and Hobbes, but most importantly, Ginger fairy. Of course. Yes,…
Salted Caramel Protein Shakes
I have a thing for small spaces. Now, I know what you’re thinking: sour grapes. But that’s not it. Honestly. In fact, I had a really big house once, and it wasn’t for me. I have a thing for small spaces. Cottages, ranches, historic houses (the small ones). And then there’s the on-going debate over…
Dairy-Free Coffee Creamer
DAIRY-FREE coffee creamer. Oh heck yes. When I have iced coffee I always use fair trade decaf coffee, with some almond milk in it, but then this recipe happened by accident, and I’m madly in love with it. I mean, seriously. It even looks like dairy creamer when you pour it in. All marble-like. Then you stick…

My friend Leanne Vogel is just awesome. If you already follow her blog, then you know that she is the kind of person you want to be around. She is radiant. I was super excited when she shared her new cookbook with me! I want to dive into so many of these recipes and stunning photos,…
Zoe’s Green Smoothie
Ever wished your kids were fans of green smoothies? Now’s your chance! With St. Patrick’s Day approaching, anything green goes! Today my 11-year-old, Zoe (who normally refuses to eat green smoothies), told me that she had an idea for a St. Patrick’s Day green smoothie. Can I just tell you how fast I dropped what I…
Gluten, constipation, and autism. It’s all connected! And a “Coffee Milkshake” that has changed Ashley’s life :-)
Hey everybody! This is a video where I talk about how gelatin has made Ashley regular after a YEAR of struggling with constipation and trying EVERYTHING under the sun. It’s been a month of almost daily poops (Sorry I said poop on a food blog. Had to be done.). It’s definitely a record, and lets…
Dairy-Free Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe
See that foam in the pumpkin spice latte recipe above? I’ve become obsessed with foam. It started before we moved, when we would go to the coffee shop, and the kids would order almond milk steamers. The baristas would make them tons of foam with the almond milk. I took a sip, and I fell in…
Creamy Green Citrus Smoothie
I think I’ve said it a million times before, but I am obsessed with smoothies. I love that I can pack them with nutrition, and whip them up in just minutes. Plus they taste great! This is the one I’ve been having lately. I like to put so much fresh ginger in it that my…
