The other evening I was still hungry after dinner, and wanted a snack. I cut a cantaloupe in half, scraped out the seeds, put one side into a bowl, and grabbed a spoon. I just cut pieces with the spoon as I ate it, and it was delicious! I thought it looked cool, so I took a picture and posted it on Instagram and Facebook. Then I got up, grabbed…
Yup, Apple pie! Truly delicious, truly healthy, apple pie! The credit for this one goes to three people, Cathy Fischer for the crust, Dr. Fuhrman for the filling, and our friend Jenn for having the genius idea to put the two of them together. I’m really glad she did too, because this is a great recipe that everyone will love. The fact that it’s healthy is just a bonus! In fact,…
Don’t get left out this holiday season, make yourself a truly healthy pumpkin pie and share it with your friends and family. I think you all are going to love it!! First, I have to tell you that I love pumpkin pie. It’s delicious! I like that it’s a little spicy, not too sweet, and has a nice firm texture. However, since I don’t consider traditional pumpkin pie a healthy food,…
My 10 year old and I were invited to a get together where hot chocolate was going to be served. Since we try to eat as healthy as possible, avoiding all dairy, sugar, and processed foods, I’m not into giving him traditional hot chocolate… I still wanted to go, so I was thrilled when I found this recipe! I made a batch and brought it with us so he wouldn’t feel…
This apple strudel is from the Eat to Live Cookbook by Dr. Joel Fuhrman on p. 285. It is a great dessert and a real crowd pleaser! I don’t have pictures of it after we cooked it because we ate it up too fast! Serves: 4 Prep Time: 15 minutes (a little longer if you don’t have an apple peeler) Cook Time: 1 hour Ingredients: 1/2 cup vanilla almond, soy…

Fruit pops for the last day of school. If you have a hard time getting your kid to eat fruit, put it on a stick! They love it!!
I’ll be honest with you, I was a little nervous when Evan told me he wanted to have a healthy birthday cake at his birthday party this year. I was very proud of him for making that choice, but yes, nervous. We have made kids cry before with our healthy desserts. Multiple kids cry. Luckily they were part of our immediate family so they got over it quickly. But now…
Posting this to hopefully inspire those who want to eat more healthfully and want their kids to also. My kids begged me to make them this for dessert. Spinach banana whip with a dollop of all-natural peanut butter. They love it! If you stop eating junk, you will no longer crave it!!
Take a look at the “ice cream” Anthony made last week. Okay, it’s not really ice cream, but it is sooo good! We used to eat a lot of Ben and Jerry’s in my house, but this stuff is sooo much better for you and won’t add on the extra pounds. It really satisfies my after dinner sweet craving and it is made of just fruit! To make the ice…
