Clean PSLI used to be totally crazy about pumpkin creamer in my coffee…truth be told…it was more like a splash of coffee in my creamer. I was so nuts about the stuff I would stock up to have enough to carry me through mid-summer. Long gone are those days as clean eating has revolutionized our home and our health. I have never looked back with grief or despair…but, instead thoroughly enjoy the fullness of God’s natural culinary creations. This pumpkin…
No Strain Nut MilkHomemade nut milks are super creamy and delicious…but, straining the pulp can be a mess! Taking @lilsipper’s suggestion of using nut butter, this milk is a no-strain delight! To make things even more simple, use prepared coconut meat…like I recently found at Trader Joe’s in the frozen section. This milk literally took minutes to make and the results were delicious! Creamy enough to use in your morning cup of joe! Ingredients3 1/2 cup water1/2 cup cashews (soaked…

Surprise Chocolate PB CheesecakeThe surprise in this recipe is the sneaky serving of veggies…this delectable pie includes two cups of…wait for it…riced cauliflower! I served this dessert to friends last night, one who happens to be a professional chef. Her expert tastebuds were able to detect many of the ingredients, except the sneaky veg! The cauliflower is totally undetectable! But, if you are a fan of peanut butter and chocolate, this is one dessert you must put on your culinary…
Low Carb GF BreadA remake with slight adaptations of @lilsipper’s 5 ingredient anti-inflammatory bread.

Holds together perfectly for your most ambitious sammie stacks and would sub wonderfully for french toast. Easy to make and in the oven for only 30 minutes, this bread will be welcome nourishment to those low carb and gluten free.Ingredients4 eggs2 scoops plain pea-based protein powder (like…

Baked “Pillow-cakes"After seeing the innovative idea of baked pancakes pop up in recent food blogs (like @chocolatecoveredkatie), I had to try! Sure enough, worked great…with unexpected results. My husband said that they tasted more like bear claws and my oldest daughter said they tasted more “pillowy” than regular pancakes. I guess these delicious orbs could more aptly be called “Pillow-cakes” since no pans were used! Anyway you choose to call them…they are um-um good!Ingredients2 ripe bananas1/2 cup vanilla almond milk…
Tiny Seed CrackersMy kids love crackers. They use crackers as scoops for homemade hummus or platforms for mini-sandwiches. I asked my daughter to count the number of ingredients on the box of “healthy” crackers in our pantry, and she counted 36!!! WHAT?!?! Determined to make my own, I present to you a 13 whole foods ingredient version that you can make simply in your kitchen. Although the ingredient list may be tiny in comparison to store bought, these beauties have…
Cashew Hemp ️ ButterSo much goodness going on here! The GF protein-packed bread (recipe coming soon), the fresh strawberries, drizzle of coconut nectar…and the best for last…the homemade cashew hemp heart butter! Hemp? Yep! Now, I hear you asking…and no, food made with hemp will not alter your state of consciousness. Hemp hearts are rich in omega 6 and 3…and are a good source of linolenic acids, including a-linolenic acid (ALA), which may play a role in cardiovascular health. Paired…
