Shamrock Shake Season- and an infinitely superior option

I actually posted this recipe last March, but since St. Patrick’s Day only comes around once a year, I thought I’d repost it for those who are actually tempted by the “Shamrock Shake” posters hanging in the McDonald’s windows this time of year. I have to admit it.  I used to love Shamrock Shakes (the McDonald’s variety).  That’s an awful admission, isn’t it?  And...

Gluten-free Sesame Seed Candies

Early in our transition to a whole foods diet we would purchase seemingly natural “penny candy” at our local health food store in the form of sesame candies.  The main ingredient was sesame seeds, but they also contain a fair amount of sugar and corn syrup.  When we learned this, we discontinued buying them, but they were brought to mind for me recently when we visited an Asian grocery store that sold...

I always think it is a shame to hear how most people assume that healthy food...

Simple No-Cook Honey Sesame Treats

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m working on finishing up revision/proofing of my first two books (Everyday Wholesome Eating and Everyday Wholesome Eating. . . In the Raw) for a new printing.  I’ve ended up testing a number of recipes during this time- ones I just haven’t prepared in years.  Some are just great as is, others I’ve tweaked slightly. This week I made my Sesame Candies from...

Sweetener-free Granola

We love granola, though I rarely make it.  After playing around with this recipe a couple of times recently I wondered why not.  It’s fairly simple to throw together and it’s certainly much more inexpensive to make your own than to buy a store-bought version.  Also, as you’ll see in this recipe, by making your own you can avoid the incredible amount of sugar and other sweeteners traditionally...
