Gingerbread Milkshake

December 9, 2015 By Gwen Brown 22 Comments

Baby, it’s cold outside! So WHY am I making a milkshake? Because it’s a gingerbread milkshake! That makes it a seasonal flavor, and totally legit. Just like my Frozen Eggnog Milkshake that’s my other favorite this time of year. And yeah…even the Peppermint Chip counts too. Anything that keeps me out of the drive through…

October 19, 2015 By Gwen Brown 30 Comments

When I was a kid, we lived less than a mile from a Big Star grocery store, and I would walk up there at least once a week with my allowance to score some treats. I usually went for the candy aisle, but one week, a 3 pack of giant streusel orange muffins caught my…

Lemon Yogurt Recipe- Family Size!

September 29, 2015 By Gwen Brown 31 Comments

I posted a lemon yogurt recipe back in 2013, and it’s been one of my personal favorites, and yours too! It’s one of the most popular recipes on my blog. And for good reason. It tastes like a little slice of lemon heaven…a mix between pudding and lemonade pie. If you’re getting used to Greek…

Coconut Yogurt- Dairy Free!

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…

Homemade Fruit Bottom Yogurt Recipe

February 9, 2015 By Gwen Brown 43 Comments

My homemade fruit bottom yogurt recipe brings back some delicious memories. My parents were into super healthy eating when I was a little kid, and we didn’t get much in the way of sugary treats, but we were allowed to choose our own flavor of yogurt. As a child, one of my very favorite treats was…
