I have been on a serious coconut yogurt kick recently. It all started when my friend Starlene from GAPS Diet Journey sent me a little bit of the yogurt starter that she uses when she posted her great recipe for coconut milk yogurt. It was instant love from my first batch. The rich, creamy, thick, and slightly… Continue Reading

How to Make Your Own Homemade Vanilla Extract
Have you ever made your own homemade vanilla extract? I will never go back to buying vanilla extract. It is so easy to make your own at home, costs a fraction of what a bottle of high-quality vanilla extract costs, and tastes amazing! Plus, it’s pure, with no additives, sugar, etc. I make both a… Continue Reading
Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe with Coconut and Avocado Oil
Homemade mayo. When you perfect the recipe and technique, it’s amazingly delicious. However, the process of trial and error to get to that point often leaves a bit to be desired, at least in my experience! I have a confession to make. Kraft Mayo is, and forever will be, my standard of what mayo should… Continue Reading
Cinnamon Coconut Roasted Pumpkin Seed Recipe
When it comes to these cinnamon coconut roasted pumpkin seeds, I seriously have to control myself. It is really easy for me to sit down and eat an entire bowl in one sitting! So, I have to portion out how much I can eat at a time to keep me from going overboard. They are… Continue Reading

None of my curries at home ever tasted the same and it always… Continue Reading
How to Make Your Own Coconut Milk
I cannot believe the price of coconut milk lately! For quite some time, I have purchased Native Forest Coconut Milk, because it was the only brand of coconut milk that I knew was BPA-free. I used to get mine through the Amazon.com Subscribe and Save program (which is awesome, BTW). At the time, I was getting a case of 12 cans… Continue Reading

Technically, this would be week 20, but since I was swamped and didn’t get around to posting last week, we will keep with the numerical succession! This week’s post is a guest post from my friend Lydia at Divine Health from the Inside Out. Lydia is also a fellow Nourished Living Network member, which has allowed me… Continue Reading
Homemade Alfredo Sauce Recipe
One of my favorite indulgences is super rich and creamy fettuccine Alfredo. Since I don’t often eat pasta, this is truly a treat whenever I do make it. It’s so easy to whip together. Cook some noodles (I love these), while you’re whisking together this sauce, and you’ll quickly have a dinner that tastes like you’re… Continue Reading
Coconut Flour Pie Crust – Gluten and Grain Free
I know pie crusts are one of the easiest things to make, but for some reason, I have always had trouble making them. In the “old days”, I would just buy the pre-made crusts, but recently, I decided that i needed to just suck it up and come up with a recipe for a homemade crust. In addition, I… Continue Reading
