Healthy Homemade Chocolate

Homemade Chocolate Recipe- Healthy, easy and delicious

With some recent news touting the health benefits of chocolate, it is important to remember that not all chocolate is created equal. Most store bought chocolate brands contain sugar or high fructose corn syrup and use soy lecithin as an emulsifier (here’s why we avoid soy).

Healthy Probiotic Marshmallows

We don’t do candy and for the most part, we avoid sweets, but sometimes I let me kids have sweet treats, especially if we are going to be somewhere that junk food is abundant and I want a healthier alternative for them.

Easy homemade almond flour chocolate chip cookies- grain free and gluten free

This is not an everyday recipe but is a healthy alternative to regular chocolate chip cookies.

10 Minute Peach Cobbler

Ten Minute Peach Cobbler- healthy recipe and so good

I love peach season! Peaches are one of those fruits that aren’t nearly as good when they aren’t in season, so we typically just eat them (and eat a lot of them!) when they are. (If peaches aren’t in season, this recipe can be made with berries or other soft fruit, or you can try [...]
