I posted this picture on Facebook last week, asking who wanted the recipe. You guys were enthusiastic about it, so here it is! This shake gets its immunity boosting powers from the organic Immunity Blend Mushroom Powder from Essential Living Foods. Back when I was running an online raw food store, I ordered a lot from […]
[Recipe] Creamy Jerusalem Artichoke & Garlic Soup
Fall calls for root vegetables, but in addition to growing the usual ones (turnips, carrots, potatoes, etc.), my husband also grows more obscure ones, like Jerusalem artichokes.

Nourishing Chia Buckwheat Breakfast Cereal Recipes
When Franklin was little, he would wake up a lot at night, and needed to sleep with us in our small queen size bed, which wasn’t always comfortable for us. As a result, he and I would wake up at 5-6 am, but I generally wasn’t in the mood to make something elaborate for breakfast. […]
Gluten Free Lemon Blueberry Scones
“Mom, can I have some scones?” “No, we’re having dinner soon” “Pleeeeaase, can I have some?” My son Franklin is not even 4 yet, but he eats scones like a champion. Actually, he eats anything like a champion — and gluten free baked goods are no exception! And since he loves blueberries and lemon, I […]
Cucumber Lemonade and Cucumber-Apple Lemonade
Sometimes, you are blessed with great people in your life (pretty often, actually, if you take the time to notice). Many years ago, when I was in anguish over feeding myself and my future baby all organic and started a food buying group to get lower prices, a few people got on board with me and […]
