Regina’s Healthy Oatmeal No Bake Cookies
My friend Regina made over the traditional oatmeal no-bake cookie recipe to be more healthy. I called her the other day and begged for it — my kids were desperate for a snack and I was short on time. These cookies fit the bill, deliciously!
GF Spice Muffins
Naomi was my helper today to make (okay, create) these muffins. We all were in the mood for muffins, but I didn’t have any pureed vegetables, apple sauce, pear sauce, or bananas. I usually like to include one of those for moisture and flavor. So we rustled up some coconut milk instead. The batch turned [...]
GF Cracker Mix in a Jar — Make Ahead or Gift
When measuring out the ingredients to make a double-batch of Cheezy Gluten-Free Crackers, I fill a quart size jar with all the dry ingredients for another double-batch of crackers. I store it on the door of the freezer. It is ready for me to use sometime during the coming week. I just transfer the [...]
Raw Applesauce
A friend gave me a similar recipe last summer. Kids love this applesauce — what I love is that it is easy, raw and nutritious! You will need a Vita-Mix or other such heavy duty blender.
(choose organic ingredients)
about 4 apples, sweet variety such as Fuji
handful of raw almonds
handful of raisins
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch nutmeg
1 cup pure [...]
Basic Fruit Smoothie Formula
Since we started following the traditional food preparation methods in Nourishing Traditions, we have come to believe that dark leafy greens should be cooked. So I no longer advise making “green smoothies” – however, this general formula still works, sans the greens.
Have you ever read a smoothie recipe — greatly desiring a sweet, cool, icy [...]

Ginger Pear Muffins
Up until last week, we were still able to purchase local, organic Asian pears for one dollar per pound. But last year’s crop is at its end because the pears, while firm and tasty, are brown on the inside. Since we still had about 10 pounds left, I cleaned, cored and pureed the remaining pears. [...]
“Cheezy” Gluten-Free Crackers
Jeffrey wants a cracker. He’s been telling me for months, and I finally listened. These Cheezy Gluten-Free Crackers are so good. They offer:
1) Boosted protein from the bean flours and the almond meal.
2) Versatile — use any 6 gluten-free (or gluten-full, for that matter) flours you desire or have on hand. The flours [...]

No specific measurements, I’m afraid, but these general guidelines should help you in making this delicious and healthy popcorn! (See my original post on Red Palm Oil Popcorn.)
Have you ever popped popcorn in a pot on the stove? If so, you’d use the same amount of palm oil as you [...]
Apple-Sweet Potato-Pumpkin Muffins: Date Sweetened, Gluten-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free
I’ve been playing around with my agave-sweetened muffins for awhile now to make them fruit-sweetened. We are using less and less agave these days and turning toward fruit for sweetening. These muffins are sweetened with date sugar and applesauce. This makes a BIG batch — can easily be halved. I like to make it big [...]
