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

Happy Grain Free 4th: Red, White, and Blueberry Crisp

What to bring for dessert to a party that you can eat but everyone else can enjoy as well?  I couldn't pass up organic rhubarb at the farmer's market last Sunday, so i thought I would try and make a crisp. This crisp ended up being so delicious and good for you that we are able to eat it for breakfast as well as a decadent dessert for the 4th of July.


Red, White, and Blueberry Crisp
2 cups of chopped rhubarb (roughly 6 stalks)
1 apple chopped
1 cup of strawberries chopped
juice from one lemon
2 tbsp date sugar (optional)
drizzle of honey (optional)
1 cups soaked nuts ( I used walnuts and cashews)
1 cup unsweetened coconut
3 tbsp coconut oil
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Chop up fruit and combine in a bowl with lemon, date sugar, and honey.
Drain nuts that have been soaking. Put drained nuts in a food processsor and pulse to chop slightly.
Add nuts to coconut, ginger, cinnamon, and melted coconut oil. Put berries in 8 X 8 baking dish or pie pan. Top with nut mixture and bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
