I discovered Desert Essence Organics Fragrance Free shampoo and conditioner about a month ago on Vitacost, and found not only are they made from organic ingredients, they are gluten free, vegan, and [...]

Beets are not something I would normally purchase, so working with them was a new experience (but a good one!). After a quick search online, I found that beets are highly nutritious (especially when eaten raw) and contain antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification properties. They’ve even been thought to have anti-cancer benefits. All the more reason [...]
The New Year has gotten off to quite the bang for me. I haven’t been feeling well for weeks. My nervous system (thanks to my autoimmune disease) has been in a “heightened” state, causing all sorts of things in my body to be imbalanced. I’ve had bouts of nausea, more IBS and digestive issues, chills, [...]
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Can you believe it’s almost 2013? I can’t… but yet I’m very thankful for the upcoming new year. 2012 was an incredibly tough year for me and my family (a new medical diagnosis, and there were multiple family deaths). I am hoping 2013 will be much more calm, kind, and gentle on [...]

Since changing my eating habits I wanted to make a healthier alternative to the sugar-filled classic, something I didn’t have to feel [...]
A few weeks ago I got an email from Ali Segersten of Whole Life Nutrition asking if I’d be interested in reviewing her and her husband, Tom Malterre’s, new cookbook, “Nourishing Meals.” Like a giddy school girl I hastily responded with a resounding “YES!” I’ve been an avid fan of Ali and Tom’s since I [...]
Blueberries grow wild in Alaska. We had tons of blueberry bushes in Kodiak where I grew up and {much to my mother’s delight} I loved to pick them! My friends and I would go blueberry picking and come home with our little buckets full of blueberries. We would fill the kitchen sink up with water, [...]

Marinated Veggie Kabobs Recipe: For the Marinade: 4 tablespoons [...]
I am so addicted to roasted cauliflower. I really could sit down and eat a whole head of roasted cauliflower for a meal. It’s that wonderful! There are many variations of roasted cauliflower recipes out there. Some of my favorite recipes are from fellow gluten free/allergy friendly bloggers. Like Roasted Cauliflower Soup from Elana’s Pantry, [...]
