Christmas Sugar Cookie Recipe – GF & SF

December 21, 2015 By Gwen Brown 43 Comments

My regular Christmas sugar cookie recipe is totally out of this world good, and SO not on my diet.

Gingerbread Milkshake

December 9, 2015 By Gwen Brown 22 Comments

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…
