After searching high and low for a “healthy” cookie that didn’t contain any gluten or added sugar, I’ve come to realize they are few and far between. And when you do find some, they taste like cardboard or cost you a fortune. So what’s a mom to do? Put on your fanciest apron and start baking!!!
Having a hard time getting your kids to eat their vegetables? Not anymore! This simple and delicious coleslaw will even have Lachanophobians wanting more.
What first came to mind when you saw this mouthwatering dish? I bet it wasn’t “Oh, this must be vegan/vegetarian!” These manly mushrooms will satisfy even the biggest steak-lovers cravings. The mouthfeel is just like a piece of steak and the marinade puts it over the top. Trust me, if you want to add a vegan/vegetarian meal to your weekly menu rotation, this is the quickest and tastiest.
One important thing to note in this recipe is to buy organic mushrooms! Actually every ingredient in all of my recipes are intended to be organic, so, for the best results buy organic. Yes it is expensive, but can you put a price tag on your health?
I would give anything to go back in time and eat healthier if it meant not getting Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). I don’t mean to be preachy, just trust me on this one. Anyway, here’s what Mercola.com had to say about the benefits and cautions of eating mushrooms. (I can just see some of you smirking right now)
There is nothing better than tasting the fruits of your labour! I planted my first official garden this year (last year it was just herbs) and I am currently enjoying a simple yet delicious salad with mesculin lettuce right out of my garden.
Here’s a quick, easy and healthy crowd pleaser! I’ve made this perfect summer cake a few times now and people just love it. Even those that aren’t on a restricted diet enjoy this cake! The key is getting the cake nice and moist and the glaze nice and creamy. Thanks to my Aunt Marian for the original recipe.
Being gluten & dairy free certainly makes life A LOT more difficult when it comes to meal time. If you aren’t prepared or don’t have a lot of time on your hands meal planning can be really stressful. When you are a busy parent, its hard to find the time to look up new recipes that actually taste good and aren’t complicated and time consuming. Here’s a fairly quick family friendly meal that kids and parents will love. You can add any veggies you like. Next time, I might also add carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and baby spinach and will update the post it it turns out.
My 2 year old son Liam is NUTS for these oat pancakes. He literally asks me for ‘Pan – Take’s every day. I find it easiest to make the pancakes on a griddle if you have one, that way you can make 6-8 all at once versus smaller batches in a frying pan. This recipe calls for blueberries but in a pinch raspberries can be a equally yummy substitute! Oh, and I usually make a double batch so that I have extras in the fridge/freezer for snacks throughout the week too.
This is a delicious and healthy family dinner inspired by Jaime Oliver that is ready in under 15 minutes. Even picky eaters will like this one.
This is one of my all-time-favourite salads! This is not an April Fools Day joke! Prior to this salad, I was not really a fan of smoked salmon (GASP!!) and I have turned so many people on to smoked salmon through this recipe its nuts.
