Recipes
Preparing and planning meals for over a decade while avoiding many common foods, I have what I’d call a bit of an obsession with searching for recipes - with an eye on maximizing nutrition. I am far from a culinary whiz but I thrive on finding new recipes for meals (and treats too!) our family will safely enjoy.
Take a look here inside our kitchen, let me know what you find.

This simple vegan salad is easily customized to suit your taste. The combination of fresh fruit, coconut cream and light sweetness make it a festive addition to most any meal.
