August 31, 2015 By Gwen Brown 39 Comments

coconut yogurt recipe- an easy peasy recipe for dairy free yogurt with great texture!

A good coconut yogurt recipe became a necessity here when my husband went on a short dairy free diet plan from our doctor. Greek yogurt had been a great fast breakfast and snack, so he was sad to lose such a creamy, convenient and delicious snack. I knew that you could buy coconut yogurt but…

Almond Low Carb Hummus Recipe

July 20, 2015 By Gwen Brown 39 Comments

AMAZING lick the bowl low carb hummus that works for Paleo or THM style eating. Plus a genius tip to make it a convenience food!

I first tasted this low carb hummus recipe while on a retreat with my friend Kim. We both brought healthy low glycemic goodies to a conference that we attended, but THIS is what stole the show. I know…it’s hummus. And it’s vegan, Paleo, and low carb, so it really barely sounds edible. But give it…
