Ashley has been using Biociden for a while now. It kills yeast overgrowth and bacteria in the gut, and is a natural alternative to prescription anti-fungals. Full of berries and herbs, it doesn’t taste too bad. My routine is: Upon waking – 1 tsp Klaire Labs probiotics. Shortly after – a glass of water with…
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….
Quinoa Almond Muffins
The weather was a little chilly today, in comparison to the 70’s it’s supposed to be for the next week, but we had a simulated archaeological dig anyway. In order to teach history, the children first needed to understand what history is. Last week we made a history of our family book. Today we put…
Raw Granola Parfait
We don’t drink beer, but I do have 4 glass beer mugs in my cupboards. Why? For raw smoothies, sundaes and parfaits of course! It seems as though at any given moment you can find raw nuts soaking on my counter. Usually I’m making cashew milk, vanilla pudding , or this granola. Nuts contain an…
Mango Lemon Sorbet
Did you know that the July temperature in Colorado can drops about 35 degrees at night? It was 94 today, and it will get down to 59 tonight! Since we don’t have air conditioning I have to put the girls to bed in only their underwear with the fan on high. Next, when I go to…
Broccoli Quiche
I wasn’t actually planning on having quiche tonight, but I accidentally made too little rice for my casserole recipe. Now that I think about it, the only difference between a quiche or a casserole is the proportion of liquids to solids. More liquids – you get quiche, more solids – you get casserole. Food for…
Coconut Custard Pie
As promised, I made my coconut custard pie yesterday, and here it is. It’s hard to miss dairy when we eat like this. In fact, people usually feel sorry for us when we tell them we are gluten-free, dairy-free and sugar-free, and I say, “It’s okay! We love it!” and that’s the truth. I hope…
Sunbutter Flourless Brownies
For those of you who like the combination of peanut butter and chocolate, but want to avoid peanuts, this is the brownie for you. I made these flourless brownies with Sunbutter, for one of the best brownie recipes ever! Add a little mint and you have mint chocolate brownies! So many delicious ways to make…
Bananas Foster
Here’s the thing about eating healthy: You can even have dessert for breakfast! Yesterday I made my Vanilla Pudding (below) and this morning I walked into the kitchen, saw the bananas were ripe, and said to myself, “I’ll make my bananas foster for breakfast!” It’s a little different from the one they serve in restaurants…
Almond & Orange Spinach Salad
Words can not express how much I love my almond & orange spinach salad! Spinach salads are the way to my heart to begin with, but add the almond and orange dressing, the fresh sliced oranges and chopped almonds, plus the caramelized onions…. I am in taste bud heaven 🙂 This is a dinner I…
