Teriyaki Sauce

After finding out I am allergic to soy, I got pretty bummed about my stir fry dishes. How would I manage without my Bragg’s Liquid Aminos? Well, my worries were answered. My friend, Jill, is also allergic to soy and I went to her in total distress asking what to do. Okay, that’s a little…

Cashew Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

I was known in college as “Mama Ridge.” This was probably in part due to the fact that I made chocolate chip cookies nearly every day. I try to avoid gluten and dairy as much as possible so to be honest, I have probably made chocolate chip cookies once or twice in the last three…

Almond Meal

I started making my own almond milk a few years ago and haven’t turned back since. Blending up a batch decreases your waste consumption, increases the freshness, and gives you the ability to know exactly what is going into your body. For a while, I didn’t really know what the heck to do with all…

Holiday Gift Guide 2017

We had Thanksgiving at my aunt’s house and my parents live legit two blocks away from them. I had to zip out of the Thanksgiving feast a couple times to change my laundry over at my house and my 11-year-old cousin asked to join. He just had to get out of the house and away…

Chocolate Peppermint Energy Balls

Peppermint essential oil is one of my absolute favorites. You can put it on the back of your neck if you’re feeling a little hot. It’s great for digestion and freshening your breath. These energy bites are begging to be eaten as they sit in my refrigerator. Add more or less salt depending on your…

Superfood oatmeal

Superfood Oatmeal

Oatmeal is one of my favorite things for breakfast. It is super easy to make and very warming during the winter months. It’s pretty boring by itself so an easy way to power it up is just to add superfoods. You can put whatever you want on and in the bowl of oats. Serves: 1…
