Healthy Treats
Raw Chocolate and (fake) Peanut butter Fondue
The weather has been sensational and so we have been outside non-stop; eating on the porch constantly. I feel invigorated by the mild temperatures, sunshine and blue skies. Tonight we had a terrific salad for dinner that was probably half walnuts and half lettuce. It also contained a good quarter cup of raw hemp seeds,…
Chocolate & (fake) Peanut butter Sandwiches
This Chocolate & (fake) Peanut Butter spread is something that we eat often—sometimes all by itself 😉 like an after dinner treat. One tablespoon is as satisfying or more than a whole dessert. I have other versions of it, like the Frozen Sunbutter Fudge on page 166 in my cookbook. Sunbutter (which tastes similar to…
Coconut & Raw Cacao Pudding dairy-free, vegan
Don’t you just love happy accidents in cooking/uncooking? heehee! I think probably half or more of my recipes came to be because I was out of something, or several things, and had to try another ingredient. Does that happen a lot to you too? Yesterday I was out of almonds to make almond milk, and…

Blueberry Dairy-Free Parfait
As we speak, my husband is devouring the blueberry parfait in this photograph, and I keep hearing comments like, “Oh, this is so good.” And getting my meat-and-cake-eating-man to eat anything fresh and uncooked means it must be true! 🙂 What’s also really nice about this blueberry parfait (besides how healthy it is) is that…
Lemon Poppy Seed Gluten-Free Donuts
When I read that Carol, of Simply Gluten-Free, was hosting this month’s Go Ahead Honey, It’s Gluten-free! I knew it was going to be fun. Carol has such a great sense of humor, and of course her theme gave me a laugh: Manly Food! So I should explain that when it comes to my man,…
dairy-free chocolate orange mousse
Those of you who follow my family journal blog know that we got a giant bag of oranges from our friend’s farm this week. They are so good. We’ve been eating them alone, making fresh orange juice, and I even made yet another orange pie. 🙂 Then Heather had a great idea: make Chocolate Orange…
bite-size almond butter freezer treats
At a hike with friends this morning we were talking about uses for almond butter, which reminded me of these bite-size freezer treats. So we came home and made some! (After I accidentally sat on a cactus -ouch!) They were so good we ate half while we were making them! ♥, Kelly Cinnamon Raisin Bite-Size…
Halloween Candy (gluten free & dairy free)
We have been spending a lot of time in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park lately. Here is a picture from 2 weeks ago there. In the spirit of Halloween, I decided we would have a contest. We made 3 kinds of chocolate clusters, then in a notebook, gave each one to five stars….
