Who says you can’t influence your family? My cousin has been making this grain-free sweet potato chocolate cake for years for our Passover Seder feast. This year I received a little surprise…she converted the recipe to take out all of the fake/processed food ingredients and replaced them with real food ingredients including my homemade chocolate! I was thrilled! Unfortunately, I couldn’t be with her this year to share her sweet… more

I needed a recipe for something portable and grain free to take to my grandmother’s for Thanksgiving next week. This fits the bill nicely! You all know I love chocolate so the brownies are a given. I had a cup of pumpkin puree in the freezer just begging to be used and I also had some kefir cream cheese on hand. This recipe isn’t raw so it kind of defeats… more
Chocolate Probiotic Ice Cream

We just started making kefir from kefir grains and I have been testing and looking for good recipes made with kefir. Kefir is a pretty potent probiotic so we have had to start slowly – I am working my way up from 1 spoonful per day to drinking half a cup.

Beet Chocolate Cake
| July 8, 2012 | Posted by Lindsey G. under Desserts and Sweets |
I adapted this recipe from Elana’s Pantry blog but I adjusted it to skip the agave and grapeseed oil both of which we avoid to only use real food ingredients. This is a fairly easy grain free cake recipe that also includes beets which are in abundance pretty often here in Central Texas. It is dense like a flour-less chocolate torte should be and it has an earthiness sweetness from… more
