I was standing in the Whole Foods cereal/granola aisle reading the ingredients of nearly every “healthy” granola on the shelves… and then I gave up. They weren’t healthy, but they were marketed as healthy with descriptions such as “gluten-free”, “organic”, “all natural”, and so on. Here’s the thing. Whether it’s granola or any other processed…

Gluten-free, vegan, healthy samoas (Caramel deLites)!
Peppermint Johnny’s
My family has a history of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, as do most families living in the US. Heart Disease is huge in America. It affects 1 in 3 Americans and one person in America dies of a cardiovascular disease every 40 seconds.

Pumpkin Skinny Spice Latte (Iced and Hot)
Pumpkin Coffee Time. It’s fall and that means one thing… PUMPKIN time. Which means PUMPKIN COFFEEEEEEEEE. My favorite kind of coffee. Literally. It’s a problem.

The pumpkin coffee there only has…

Here’s the deal, it’s challenging and time-consuming to sort through the multitude of ‘paleo’ cakes and frosting recipes on the internet. They either have tons of butter in them, or the pictures look great but the actual cake tastes…
Paleo Granola!
My friend gave me this recipe from paleotable.com over the summer, because a bunch of us were trying to eat ‘paleo’ and I was getting so sick of eggs and meat for breakfast. Most other breakfast options are wheat and dairy, but not this granola. It beats almost every other I’ve tried, and it’s perfect…
