Delicious Gluten-Free Muffins: Carrot Banana Muffins Recipe July 6, 2015 • 0 Comments As a rule, both unfortunate and challenging, I don’t eat traditional bread or pasta. This was a difficult dietary transition and I would call myself more of a reluctant gluten-avoider than gluten-free.

Healing Raw Food Experiments and Cashew Recipes May 15, 2015 • 2 Comments A couple of summer’s ago, one of my boys had terrible stomach problems. Considering everything that had happened during the past year, it wasn’t surprising and I attributed it to stress.

An uncomplicated way to fuel my body is one of them, so when I came across The Calorie Myth by Jonathan Bailor, I was intrigued and started following the principles immediately. The book is the result of an exhaustive ten-year “research odyssey,” and although it…
Mother’s Day Revelations and Flourless Chocolate Cake May 17, 2013 • 0 Comments I mentioned before that I am not a baker. I am a cook, so I really have no business messing around with the likes of the gluten-free world. But, I did it anyway, because I wanted a semi-healthy dessert for a Mother’s Day party.
