It’s October and with cooler weather on the way it makes me think of apples. It’s the perfect time for a visit to the orchard to pick baskets and baskets of apples.

But, what do you do with all of those apples?

The possibilities are endless… apple pies, apple crisps, caramel apples, applesauce, apple muffins…

Unfortunately, these are not all healthy options when made with conventional ingredients like white sugar and flour…

But it’s your lucky day, because I have put together a huge list of 50 Healthy Apple Dessert Recipes that taste just as yummy, but without the less than stellar ingredients.

So now you can have your cake pie and eat it too. 🙂

And if you absolutely love apple recipes, you will find even more on my Apple Recipes Pinterest Board.

Learn How to Make Perfect Ice Cream (and Other Frozen Treats) at Home

Ice cream is the quintessential dessert (and it would probably taste great with these recipes!). I mean, I can’t think of a single person that I’ve ever met who doesn’t like ice cream. While not everyone is as passionate about the cold, creamy, sweet concoction as I am, I am betting that if you’re reading this, you probably enjoy a frozen treat of some sort every now and then.

If so, then I have the PERFECT resource for you today.

I am crazy for ice cream, but I find that there are very few commercial ice creams that I can eat. I can’t do dairy, so that scratches a good 75% of them off the list. And the non-dairy options either taste funny, have too much sugar, or have weird gums and additives that my poor gut just doesn’t tolerate.

So, what’s a gal to do?

Master the art of making her own ice cream at home, that’s what!

And create I did and The Splendid Scoop and Other Frozen Treats eBook was born! This is one of my best-selling eBooks because I arm you with everything you need to make your own perfect ice cream (or other frozen treats) at home any time you want. 

And I do it all with real food ingredients, no refined sweeteners, not gums, not stabilizers. No junk here.

Oh, and I also have made the recipes allergen-friendly and even adaptable for stricter healing diets (like the AIP).

So, if you are ready to master the art of making your own ice cream at home, this is the perfect book for you. Don’t let another special occasion or hot day in the summer pass you by watching everyone else enjoying cold treats while you sit on the sideline due to your dietary restrictions.

No more!
