The Cookie Dough Deceiver

If you try one recipe on here, try this one: Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

I've made it a couple times, it takes a bit of practice to get your consistencies just right but it is worth it. Who would have thought that hummus could taste this delicious ? (and I like hummus!)

Try this, it's a great snacking alternative to the real deal, similar taste, none of the guilt.

Gluten Free Mac & Cheese

Just over a year ago, after a extremely uncomfortable allergy session that completely ruined my Christmas Eve, I decided to try eating Gluten Free, more realistically, Low Gluten. A friend had gone GF for other reasons and had noticed a drop in her seasonal allergies. I read a few articles and figured, "what have I got to lose?" Yes. Pasta, bread, beer, etc. ALL THE GOOD STUFF.

Well, a year in, I've significantly reduced my allergies. The number of days I've had to take an allergy medication has decreased incredibly. I still have pasta from time to time and will have a couple beers when beer club meetings role around but my Guinness days are limited (sadly!). So long story short, it seems to be working for me, between the GF and the Neti pot, I'm a much happier camper. I'm pretty thankful that it's a pretty minor aversion, meaning I can partake in my favorite gluten filled dishes once in a while. 

Here's a favorite recipe, I like to add some veggies and maybe some liguicia...

Chia for breakfast, not a pet

Just a quick share, I've made this recipe several times now and am loving it! Lots of room to experiment (I added frozen blueberries to the initial mix and let sit overnight, delish...). If you can get pomegranates, do. They add a great texture to an already interesting dish.
