Raw Dark Chocolate Brownie Bites
I’m always looking for snacks that are low sugar and have some protein, but taste good! I made these today, and they are good! So, throw this all in your food processor with the metal blade, and violà! You have a snack that will give...
Wheat Free Snickerdoodles
It’s raining here today, as it usually does on Memorial Day weekend. I decided to play around with a recipe that I had for wheat free snickerdoodles, one of my husband’s favorite cookies. Success! Here it is. (These are higher in protein and lower in...
Shallot Vinaigrette
I have resorted to making most of my salad dressings these last several years because salad dressings have lots of hidden SUGAR. Just look at your favorite dressing, many have HFCS in them (high fructose corn syrup) and most are full of preservatives. Here’s an...
The Better Pasta
Recently I had an appointment with my Nutritionist, who is responsible for millions of people getting healthy. Kathie Swift, MS, RD, LDN is the practitioner who introduced Mark Hyman, M.D. to both functional medicine and food as an avenue to health. She was the person...
Artichoke Lemon Hummus
Eileen’s Artichoke Lemon Hummus I made this recipe up on the fly one summer day when I was having friends over. Many hummus recipes are too thick and pasty for me, almost so thick you couldn’t dip with them. I wanted something a bit more...

Low Carb Meatloaf
My husband and I have been in a ground beef rut. Sick of making hamburgers (grass fed only), spaghetti sauce, tacos, and chili. But Meatloaf had been off limits to us because of the fillers in it. It often has bread crumbs and/or oatmeal, which...
(Almost) Dairy Free Lasagna
I wanted to make some lasagna last week, but I just can’t eat ricotta, mozarella or any dairy to speak of. I decided to set out and try to adapt a recipe using cashew cream as my “ricotta” replacement. I used pasta that was fresh...
Middle Eastern “Sliders” with Sumac Onions
This is a really fun and very healthy “take” on the American slider – a tiny fat and carb heavy cheesburger that many restaurants have. I’ve adapted this recipe from the cookbook “Orient Express” by Silvena Rowe. She used veal, I use only grass fed...
Cashew Cream
What the heck is cashew cream? It’s a great dairy free alternative to cream in recipes, and it can take on many flavors, making it versatile for both savory and sweet recipes. Yes, it has fat, but it is the good kind of fat. I’ll...
Dairy Free Chocolate Mousse
Who didn’t eat instant or boxed Chocolate Pudding when they were young? Now that I know what’s in it (read the label sometime… ugh), I stay clear. Besides, there are lots of reasons to not eat heavy cream and milk. I do not eat dairy...
