Yogurt and Raspberries

Sometimes all my body craves is plain yogurt and fruit. We often make our own yogurt and I will try to post a recipe for that. This yogurt was made with raw milk, direct from a local farm! Thanks to Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon Morrell, I eat real human food all the time and stay healthy. The berries were bought from the Vancouver farmers market, where I regularly sell my teas in the spring […]

Keto Dutch Baby

My husband John, makes the best Dutch Baby and often when we stay with friends he makes one for breakfast. I just love how it puffs up and we often eat ours with bacon on the side. After this, I don’t need to eat a lot more! However, I cannot eat it anymore as his has gluten. So I tried to adapt the many keto pancake recipes out there to one that I like. My […]

Cacao Butter Pistachio treats

Being diabetic, I’m constantly making low carb/ low sugar treats.

I use yacon syrup, pure monk sugar or liquid stevia. Store in the fridge until they harden and then transfer to a tin. This works well for my diabetes and does not elevate my sugars. I limit myself to 2 […]

Raspberry Avocado Pie

I had some over ripe avocados and thought it would be a shame to waste them. This recipe is a little taste of how I play with left overs! It is so much fun to look in my fridge & pantry and improvise. I managed to trick my sons into eating avocados. They don’t like them. How is that even possible? I told them this was a raspberry tart. I usually add 1 tsp of […]

Chai Spice Walnut Truffles

I have a sweet tooth and when I went on raw food vegan diet for curing my diabetes & quit sugar, I experimented with many desserts that I could safely eat. My friends who have by now all tried these goodies asked if I would post it so here you go! I tried many sweeteners which don’t elevate my blood sugar. Stevia, it’s hit or miss for me. If I have the wrong amount it […]
