Looking for a cool summer treat that is easier than churning ice cream for hours and healthier than the stuff the ice man sells? This quickie sorbet is tasty, refreshing, healthy, and kid approved. I love that is so easy and fast to make as well. When the kids come inside after a long day playing outside or they finish up a sweaty session at their CrossFit Kids class I can make this up in a flash and not worry about unhealthy ingredients. In fact this sorbet has greens in it! It may be Popeye's … [Read more...]
Primal Coconut Raspberry Muffins
I am trying to avoid buying anymore LaraBars. Primarily this is because I am sick of spending so much money on them and because they bring needless packaging into our lives. Their parent company is also throwing money at legislation that would limit our rights to know if we are consuming GMOs. There are plenty of reasons why my LaraBar habit needs to be kicked but it is so hard! I love those tasty little bars, they are paleo/primal friendly, and they are the perfect light meal to eat on my way … [Read more...]
Mojito Raspberry Paletas
Hot on the trail of my cool and healthy summer treats post, I have a delicious recipe to share: Mojito Rasberry Paletas! Paletas are fruit pops sold in Mexico...

My favorite as a child was always pineapple or coconut with big chunks of the fruit inside. Yum! Yesterday I tried my hand at making some and combined the ever delicious taste of a … [Read more...]
Fog and Vegan Ice Cream
The end of another week. Where did it go? Perhaps it went by so fast because I have barely had all my children under the same roof for 2 weeks now. One or more of them is ALWAYS gone now... spending the night or many nights, with their grandparents. Since we moved 1.5 hours away they are staying with them more often. I can't say that I blame them... they love their nana and papa. My son started out the week at their house since we couldn't miss the return of my father's racing car, after having … [Read more...]
My New Vita Mix
I got the BEST present from my parents today. I guess my Mom and Dad really worried about my recent hospitalization so they wanted to do something special for me. Well, this is the perfect gift for me. I got a Vita-Mix and I am in love. This machine is a heavy duty blender, a food processor, ice cream/sorbet maker, and so much more! It blends food at speeds up 218 miles per hour! The first day I had the machine I had a strawberry, banana, carrot, cabbage, and raspberry smoothie... fresh … [Read more...]
