Today I am really excited to talk about my friend Ricki Heller’s new cookbook. It’s called Living Candida-Free: 100 Recipes and a 3-Stage Program to Restore Your Health and Vitality
I am sharing a recipe from the book today. It’s a Chard and Chickpea Soup that is super easy to prepare and also very tasty! Not only is is easy, it’s very budget friendly too!
Some of the other recipes I can’t wait to try are: Mojito Smoothie, Grain Free Granola Bowl, Zucchini Fritters, Raw Carrot Cake Energy Balls and Herbed Grain Free Gnocchi. I mean, how good do those sound?? I am also going to be giving away a copy of Living Candida Free to one lucky reader. Look for the giveaway at the end of the post! To buy the book click here.
