I have been obsessed with all things lemon these days. I just love the way it freshens a dish up. Lemon works great in sweet or savory dishes. I am a huge fan of lemon bars and wanted to make something similar. These coconut lemon bars are so good! Vegan and gluten free. The coconut and lemon just go so well together. These coconut lemon bars didn’t even last the weekend at our house. My husband ate them all!
Y’all this Dairy Free Sour Cream is where it’s at. Many people are moving away from dairy these days. Maybe because so many kids these days cannot tolerate it. My own daughter is allergic to dairy.
It makes her skin break out. Sure there are dairy free sour cream products on the market, but those are usually soy based.
Since most soy in this country is GMO, I thought I would come up with my own vegan and paleo sour cream recipe.
This is also a vegan sour cream recipe! It’s super easy to make too! In addition to this recipe, I also have a dairy free cheese sauce and a dairy free ranch dressing.
There is a lot of talk about BPA in canned goods. BPA is used in many products. Canned goods are a concern because BPA is used in the linings of canned goods. Why should you avoid BPA? You can read all about that here. Eden Foods makes BPA free cans for their beans, but they don’t have canned tomatoes. According to the website, How Stuff Works, most organic brands of canned tomatoes do still use BPA in their liners. The article is very interesting because they actually do rate brands. You may be surprised at the ratings. The good news is, it’s so easy to make your own diced tomatoes! It literally take just a few minutes. These homemade diced tomatoes would be perfect in my Crock Pot Tomato Sauce or my Sweet Potato Chili.
I just love roasted vegetables. Not only are they delicious, but my kids will usually eat them as well. This roasted broccoli is so easy. It’s a great one to do with your young kids. Mine had fun shaking the bag around. This roasted broccoli recipe is almost fool proof! If you like this, then you may also like my Cauliflower Popcorn.
Have you tried maca root powder yet? Maca root is a tuber, kind of like a potato. It is very well known as a natural energy booster. It can also help with hormonal issues such as menopause and fertility. Maca is rich in B vitamins as well. It can be pricey, but I promise that a little goes a long way, so the bag will last a long time. Kind of like chia seeds. You may even be able to buy maca powder out of the bulk bins at Whole Foods. I love putting maca powder in my Chocolate Almond Butter Overnight Oats because it adds a malty flavor that goes well with the chocolate. These Maca Energy Bites will not only give you a natural energy boost, but also a pretty good protein and fiber boost as well. If you enjoy my Maca Energy Bars, you will love these!
