Ricki Heller: Sugar-free, gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free recipes and resources

Triple Chocolate Peppermint Bark

This Chocolate Peppermint Bark is a triple chocolate threat, with a “milk” chocolate base covered with both white chocolate-peppermint and dark chocolate swirls. All that, and it’s vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, egg free, soy-free, nut-free, yeast-free, and low glycemic, too!

Considering my boundless love of chocolate, you’d probably think that my favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day, right?

But no. In fact, did you know that the most chocolate each year is sold for Easter? I would have definitely guessed it was Cupid’s Day, since everything around V-Day seems to be chocolate-themed. But the bunnies win out.

Well, my Number One Chocolate Holiday is neither of those two. Not Valentine’s Day, not Easter, not even Halloween.

My friend Dreena Burton has a saying: hummus is a food group. Well, why not?

When you think, “I deserve it!”

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

I hear this story from clients all the time. Maybe you’ve been following a healthy diet because of some condition, like Lyme disease, candida overgrowth, SIBO or something else. Or maybe you need to follow a low-histamine diet, a low-oxalate diet or some other “free-from” diet, like gluten-free, sugar-free, or whatever. You start the diet […]

In other […]

How your mindset affects your diet

Ricki in a turquose shirt talking about how mindset affects food choices

I love stories of people who “made it” later in life. For instance, did you know that Julia Child didn’t publish her first cookbook until she was 50? Laura Ingalls Wilder didn’t publish her first Little House book (which became the TV show Little House on the Prairie) until she was 65. Grandma Moses didn’t […]

Does your food do this for you?

by Ricki Heller Leave a Comment

Now that I’m an (ahem) mature woman who has been with my spouse for almost two dozen years, I can honestly say that I don’t know a single female friend who doesn’t have at least one cringe-worthy relationship in her past. What’s usually worse, most of us have had the same cringe-worthy relationship. ..several times, […]
