My Food Philosophy

It starts with realizing your connection with the Earth. The earth will always provide you with the food that you need. Whole food in its purest form. Not chemically laden formulas disguised as food. You will begin to appreciate the people who grow the food. You will not settle for a fruit or vegetable that was grown in the most clean way possible. Because, you see, the energy from these foods becomes a part of you when you ingest it. It's all about conscious eating. Being aware of not only what you put in your mouth but where is comes from. I choose to live a plant based and gluten free lifestyle. This blog is an evolution of sorts. It starts with my dedication to using whole foods and moves into my dedication to a plant based cooking lifestyle. All those recipes you didn't think you could have eating the way I do....Bon Appetite

French Toast Friday



We have a tradition in our house. Similar to Scone Sunday, we have French Toast Fridays. I love making french toast. Mostly because Jackson loves it, even though it has eggs in it. I have tried making baked french toast before but it never turns out as good as frying it. I do have a few healthy sneak-ins added to my french toast for a bit of a nutrition punch.

2 eggs
2 tbsp rice milk (or milk of your choice)
dash of cinnamon
1 small container of sweet potato or squash baby food
sprinkle of wheat germ
coconut oil

beat 2 eggs with milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and baby food ( I promise, they
won't taste the baby food)
Melt coconut oil in pan
Dip bread into egg mixture, put in hot pan and sprinkle top with wheat germ. Flip when ready and serve with syrup.
I have a problem with syrups. Pure maple syrup is expensive and very high in sugar and other maple syrups, like Eggo, isn't even really maple syrup...it is mostly high fructose corn syrup with maple flavoring (yuck). So, I made a compromise. Log cabin make a brand called
All Natural and it's brown rice syrup. It is less sugar, has no fake sugars in it, and tastes good.
