What is the food that you tend to crave? For some people it’s bread. For others it’s sweet, sugary items. I’ve always veered toward the latter. While I don’t crave bread, the simplicity of grabbing a sandwich or a slice of pizza is not an option when following a grain-free protocol. It typically isn’t a […]
Quick Coconut Blueberry Yogurt
My son has struggled with food sensitivities since birth. Even while he was exclusively breastfed, he would react to certain foods that I ate, with dairy being the worst. His primary symptom was extreme congestion (yeah, I’m talking about two parents not sleeping, taking shifts to allow their infant to sleep vertical at night kind […]
Coconut Treats
We’re all looking for healthy treats. Have you ever looked in your kitchen for something to eat and well… nothing did it. Either you felt it wasn’t good for you, didn’t feel like a treat or just wasn’t going to satisfy you. In the past I’ve written about my almond ball recipe which I love but […]

Vegetable Roll Ups and Wrappers
Sometimes you just want to eat with your hands. If you’re not a baker, and don’t have the budget for almond flour or Paleo breads, these vegetable roll ups and wrappers will do the job just fine. The goal is to transport food to your mouth using no forks and maybe no plate. A well-made wrap […]

Barbecued Zombie Skins by Health-Bent
As with any health-conscious parent, I’m always looking for alternatives to candy on Halloween. I’ve often times resorted to buying the candy my kids collect from them, but at the end of the day, this can turn out quite expensive as my kids know how to negotiate the price in their favor. I also don’t […]
