SOS Stevia: Dairy Free, Sugar Free Coconut Ice Cream (No Ice Cream Maker Required)
I suppose anyone who devotes one third of their blog’s name to “dessert” must really love the sweet stuff. (Uh, yeah). A quick glance at my blog’s recipe index will reveal that, ACD be damned, I’m not willing to give up my sweet treats. You’ll also notice that stevia has been my savior ever since […]
SOS Coconut Oil: Roundup and a Winner!

Despite my best intentions to abolish my abhorrence of winter, the Season of Slush and Ice just keeps on giving me […]
Raw Asian Slaw with Fennel, Beet and Carrot
So: I’m going to make an effort to try to attempt to give it my best shot and strive to endeavor to maybe have a crack at liking winter a little more. I mean, I can’t complain about it right through until April, can I? (okay, don’t answer that). Well, with inspiration from Alicia’s “Happy Thoughts” at the conclusion of each […]

High-Protein Snack (or Breakfast) Orbs
Our featured ingredient this month is something I use almost daily in my kitchen.

It is a solid at some temperatures, and a liquid at others. And it smells like the tropics. What could it be? […]

Flash in the Pan: Rich and Creamy Chai Carob Latte
[Sometimes, you just want a dish that’s “no fuss.” I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly or else is so simple to make that no recipe is required. Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).] Do you […]
