Glowing Skin Buddha Bowl

Hi all,

Want glowing, healthy skin?  Have I got the thing for you.  This one is especially fitting for the rapidly arriving summertime.  This entrée is loaded with ingredients, all ideal for getting glowing skin.  The dish is low in calories, chock full of veggies, quinoa which gives it a filling, grain-like taste (yet, its grain/gluten free) and is just an all around awesome bang-for-your-buck dinner in terms of health benefits.

This recipe is grain/gluten free, dairy free and sugar free.  And aside from cooking the quinoa and salmon, its close to raw.

This recipe serves about two people.

Avocado Fudgy Chocolate Cookies

Happy Sunday, all!  Have I got a sweet surprise in store for you.  Fudgy, chocolatey goodness.  Melt-in-your-mouth yumminess in the form of these chocolate avocado cookies.  And yet, with zero grains, dairy or sugar.  How is that possible, you ask?  With these avocado cookies.

I was skeptical prior to giving them a try.  Now, behold, a converted enthusiast.

Just 6 ingredients, mere minutes, and you have a plate full of chocolate cookies ready to enjoy!!  The best part?  Delicious eating, free of any health worries 😉

You know what else is super delish?  My avocado chocolate frosting, which can also double as a pudding.  Even easier to make than this recipe.  Creamy, satisfying, silky and fudgy, all the while made with good for you ingredients (just avocado, honey, vanilla, coconut oil and cocoa powder).

Cocoa Quinoa Brownie Bites

Do you love the taste of raw brownie batter?  Or fudge?  Or Crunch bars?  If yes to any of the previous questions, then this dessert is for you.  However unlike brownie batter, Crunch bars or fudge, all of which are loaded with sugar, calories and dairy, these are grain-free, dairy-free and sugar-free.

They also take just 5 minutes to make.

How bout that 😉

PS.  Sometimes I just pour the chocolatey brownie-like batter onto the puffed quinoa and eat it like that straight out of the bowl.  Tastes EXACTLY like brownie batter, but without all the bad-for-your-body ingredients.  No guilt and major deliciousness.

Summer Quinoa Buddha Bowl

Moody Berry Buckwheat Pancakes

Hi all,

These blackberry & blueberry pancakes are just to thing for any and all lazy, romantic, delicious weekend brunching.  Anyone who has looked through my other recipes will be unsurprised at seeing yet another pancake recipe this week.  I do have a slight love affair with them in any and nearly all flavors.  (To name my favorites: Matcha and Raspberry, Pumpkin Oat, Paleo Carrot Banana, and finally, Pumpkin Pie pancakes).

Now adding onto the list of my favorites, these dark berried pancakes are lightly sweet, juicy, moist and totally tasty.  They are grain-free, lactose-free and sugar-free.  And yet taste, bite for bite, like the pancakes you would find in any high quality restaurant except that these are awesome for your health!

Did you know that buckwheat is actually a fruit seed?  Its not a grain at all, instead coming from the same family as rhubarb.  And, did you further know that buckwheat is amazing for your body!?!  Good for cardiovascular system, helps control blood sugar and may lower ones risk of diabetes, helps in preventing gallstones, and has health promoting potential that is equal to or even higher than that of some fruits and vegetables.  How cool is that?
