This healthy popsicle recipe is based on the Bomb Pops that I loved as a kid. They are sugar free, low fat, FULL of flavor, and super healthy! When we heard the ice cream truck in my Grandparents neighborhood, we’d all come running. My sister liked the kind with the bubblegum ball in the bottom….

French Dressing Recipe Sugar Free

April 20, 2015 By Gwen Brown 42 Comments

a french dressing recipe that's sugar free, delicious, and made with simple ingredients

The French dressing recipe that I posted a few weeks ago is so yummy, but it’s sweetened with honey. Since French is my very, very favorite salad dressing, I had to come up with a sugar free version and this is IT! It’s zesty, and full of flavor, but you probably already have all of…

April 13, 2015 By Gwen Brown 8 Comments

roasted radishes are a great low carb potato sub. Get my easy roasted radish recipe here!

Roasted radishes are my new veggie love. Since watching my carb count, I’ve not super duper missed potatoes, but there were times when they were an important part of a recipe and I didn’t know what to sub. Cauliflower is the usual low carb pick, but did you know that you can also use radishes to give…

Oat Fiber vs Oat Bran

March 31, 2015 By Gwen Brown 58 Comments

Oat fiber, bran, flour…what’s the difference? I get it. When I was a kid, you had two choices: instant or old fashioned oats. The world has changed. But it’s OK…they may have fancy names and look a little different, but these products are still healthy oats at heart. And they’ll open up whole new realms of…

February 24, 2015 By Gwen Brown 9 Comments

I’m sharing two soda recipes today. One is what I’d call “naughty”…if you consider using natural sugars naughty. And the other is sugar free, or “nice.” You may be wondering why I still have recipes with sugar…some with refined sugars on my blog. Let me ‘splain.
