I’ve been using a vegetable spiralizer for awhile now to make vegetable noodles. When I switched over to a no grain diet I needed something to put my pesto and home made meat sauce on! I started by using zucchini only as it is the easiest one to use (leave the skin on for the healthy green part, but you can peel to make it look more like real noodles!).. Read More
As I’ve said before I’m a huge fan of Asian food. So many delicious dishes with meat and seafood and lots of veges. Miso soup and sushi…yum my mouth is watering. I don’t know about you but every time I eat it whether it be Thai, Chinese or Japanese I get an upset stomach. I’m not sure if its the oil they use or the soy sauce or the MSG… Read More
I really, really love muffins. I really really love these Grain-Free pumpkin spice muffins. I should have just named this blog Michelle’s muffins, but I figured I might get the wrong kind of followers But seriously if you have a bag of grain-free slightly sweet healthy muffins lying over on the counter where the bite size brownies or chocolate chip cookies might be or god forbid something with frosting (my..

I think by now we all realize that sugar is something to be avoided, but do we really know why? In table sugar, glucose is the portion that is used by our cells for energy. The best sources of this are starchy vegetables. Fructose on the other hand is the portion that we need to try to avoid. Fructose cannot be used for energy by our cells, the liver must.. Read More
I am in love with my slow cooker. I recently bought a new one on the recommendation of a friend that can brown the meat right in the crock pot. You can find it here on Amazon. I found that when a recipe called for me to brown the meat first I never did it because I didn’t want to waste a pan (and I’m lazy) so I’d just throw.. Read More

The newest and latest gadget that I have discovered is called “the spiralizer” you can find it on Amazon here. It takes vegetables and spirals them into thick or thin noodles or ribbons that you can use.. Read More
I love to cook, I love to eat. I love to make things that make everyone in my family happy. That doesn’t always happen I would not normally post a boring chicken recipe but this one was so easy and delicious and made the kids, husband and me all happy!

Remember as a kid, hiding these in a plant when your mom made them? This preparation not only makes them delicious but kid and husband friendly! What you need: 1 bag or bunch of brussel sprouts. If little you don’t need to cut, if larger trim ends and cut in half a good drizzle of olive oil to cover brussel sprouts, I’d say about 2 Tbsp’s a good drizzle of.. Read More
A simple way to boost your thyroid function and protect against cancer? Add kelp or other sea vegetables to your eggs, soups, salads or anything you can sprinkle seasoning on. I am not a fan of iodine supplementation in pill form (unless supervised by a Dr. for extremely low levels that have been tested). But organic toxic-free sea vegetables are a safe way to boost your levels. Many of us.. Read More
