Mmmmmm….granola, but gluten-free granola…who knew!? I love this granola by itself or sprinkled on my greek yogurt with some chia seeds. You might find that this is so addicting, that it is hard not to grab a handful every time you walk past the jar! I started playing around with my own gluten-free granola recipe after I started buying Steve’s Paleo Krunch. Steve’s granola is super tasty, but when you form an addiction like I did…it can get a little pricey…. Read more »

I love the simplicity of a really good caesar salad. What I don’t like is the fact that most caesar salad dressings have raw eggs and anchovies in them.

Ingredients 1/2 C Soaked sunflower seeds 2 T Tahini 3 T Lemon juice 1 T Olive oil 1 Clove garlic 1 Tsp Miso 1/2 Tsp Sea salt… Read more »

My friend Jenny, who lived in Philly for a while came to the rescue and sent me… Read more »
