Dairy Free Sour Cream Recipe, Yam & Black Bean Burritos, Gluten free tortilla recipe

Dairy free Sour Cream Recipe

This dairy free sour cream recipe can also easily be made soy free by using cashews instead of silken tofu.  This is a very versatile dairy free sour cream and can be used in any recipe calling for sour cream.  If you use the recipe in a sweet recipe for breads or other dessert recipes leave out the garlic powder.



Gluten Free Eggplant or Sunburger Parmesan



This was a delicious recipe!!
I cooked it in a little coconut oil to form a crust and then baked with marinara sauce and my signature white bean mozzarella cheese.  Delicious!!! 
I highly recommend using the sunburger for this one, the eggplant needs to be marinated before use.



Gluten Free Tortilla Recipe

This is an absolute MUST TRY recipe for those on a gluten free diet!!!  They do not crumble, the dough is very easy to work with and I flipped them with my hand, so easy and delicious!

Vegan Carrot Cake recipe, Gluten Free Vegan Pepperoni Recipe and Soy Free Mozzarella cheese recipe...

Decadent Vegan Carrot Cake Recipe



I have been testing various carrot cake recipes, this vegan carrot cake recipe is light, decadent and very moist.  It is a delicious carrot cake recipe I know you will LOVE!  I generally create lower sugar, oil free recipes for my immediate family and I believe that is the optimal way to eat, however, I realize that most people do not eat this way and so I wanted to create a delicious vegan carrot cake recipe that would appeal to the most discerning dessert lover. 

Combining soymilk and vinegar creates a thick, buttermilk like product that makes egg free recipes decadent, light and fluffy.  This vegan carrot cake recipe utlizes the action of soymilk and vinegar buttermilk to create this luscious dessert.




Soy Free Vegan Mozzarella Cheese Recipe
 
I have also been testing vegan mozzarella cheese recipes, this cheese was high in nutrient density and is appropriate for those with more refined healthy tastes.  I will make the healthy vegan mozzarrella cheese recipe available to those who request it but I am not going to post this mozzarrella cheese recipe here because it is a very soft cheese that does not grate well, the flavor is delicious but I need to make a few tweaks before posting the recipe.  I just wanted to show you a photo of the finished product....YUM!
 
 
Gluten Free Vegan Pepperoni Recipe
This is a photo of the mozzarella cheese recipe and vegan pepperoni recipe on top of a delicious pizza, with a gluten free crust.   The gluten free vegan pepperoni recipe was a hit with my kids, they LOVED it.  I usually don't make meat substitutes because honestly, I hate the taste and texture of it and have no desire to replicate it, however, this does not have the texture of meat, but it does have a wonderful flavor.  It is also low in fat and high in nutrients!  Enjoy!

Pizza toppings:

Spinach
white button mushrooms
green bell pepper
onion
broccoli

Gluten Free Veggie Pepperoni


My Kids LOVED this!

**Important note on the gluten free veggie pepperoni recipe:  If you prefer a rich pepperoni like traditional pepperoni you will need to sautee the slices in oil before using.  You can also deep fry the actual gluten free pepperoni log before slicing and that will also give you a more authentic pepperoni texture and taste as well.  I prefer to bake mine, but if you do only bake it, the pepperoni will be dry and not as oily as traditional pepperoni so be aware of this when making this gluten free veggie pepperoni

Healthy Brown Rice Crispy Treats


These treats are LOADED with healthy nutrients for children!!  They are simple to make and the kids will devour them quickly I'm sure, best of all....They are gluten free rice crispy treats!  My kids have had a few rice crispy treats in their lifetime and they do like them.  Fortunately for mom's this rice crispy treat recipe won't send your kids into a sugar energy buzz.


One serving of this recipe contains 55% daily value of Omega 3's!!

Sweddish Lentil Balls
 

These were AMAZING!!!  The sauce was creamy and decadent and the lentil balls turned out to be delicious!  This is an excellent Sweddish meatball recipe, without the meat of course.  I used to enjoy my mothers sweddish meatball recipe when I was a child, this sweddish meatball recipe is better, cruelty free and delicious!





.
Gluten Free Broccoli Cheese Croissant Recipe
 
My husband said this was one of his favorite recipes, the crust is flaky, buttery and delicious.  This can be made into individual croissants or as pictured.  This broccoli cheese croissant recipe is gluten free and dairy free as well.  It does contain sunburgers which is another one of my signature recipes, they are delicious!
 

 

The trick to making amazing pastry crusts is macadamia nuts!  They add a high quality, whole foods fat to the recipe that gives it a flaky, buttery consistency and flavor without all the saturated fat, cholesterol, hormones, IGF-1 and cruelty of butter made from cows milk.    This makes a delicious, gluten free pastry crust that everyone will enjoy!
 
I hope you truly enjoy these recipes!

Apple Spice cookies, Dairy Free Ice Cream and Pizookies!

Apple Spice Cookie 'Pizookie' Recipe

Looking for the recipes
Integrative Healing Clinic
I finally got the Apple Spice Cookie, Cider Ice Cream and Cider Caramel Sauce picture and recipe up on the blog.  I apologize for the delay in getting this on the blog, but it is SO worth  the wait!  This is the most AMAZING fall dessert!  My chocolate loving husband actually raved over this and usually it isn't dessert without chocolate for him.  I really hope you enjoy this special recipe.

What is a Pizookie?  A pizookie is a mix of a pizza and a cookie.  We make very large cookies as a 'pizza crust' then you top it with ice cream and caramel, hot fudge or in this case, cider caramel.  It is like a brownie sundae but with a big cookie. 

 

Cider Ice Cream
Chocolate Chip Pizookie


Here is another version of the pizookie, the Chocolate Chip cookie, vanilla ice cream and hot fudge pizookie.  I put a lot of ice cream on this one, I did not make the big round cookies for this so the cookie is a lot smaller than usual but still just as delicious!

Gluten Free Crepe Recipe


 


I hope you are enjoying the recipes.  The cider ice cream and apple spice cookies are one of my best recipes and I am sharing it with you hoping that you will enjoy it and please let me know if you do try it, I love to hear feedback on my recipes.

The next 5 days are going to be cleansing days for me, I will be eating very simply as I have had a lot of desserts the past couple of weeks.  I will detail some of what I am eating to give you an idea of simple, healthy, cleansing meals if you ever decide your body needs a rest from heavy foods.

Enjoy the apple spice cookies and cider ice cream!

Gluten Free Apple Spice Muffin Recipe

Gluten Free Apple Spice Muffin Recipe
Want the recipe....
Integrative Healing Clinic

It has been a long time since I have attempted gluten free baking.  The recipe was created for my daughter on her birthday, she requested muffins and I created this delectable muffin recipe.  I let my husband taste them and he liked them, then I told him they were gluten free and he was shocked!  He generally hates anything gluten free and has impeccable taste for food so that was a high compliment.  I hope you enjoy these muffins as much as we did.

****Very Important:  If you attempt these muffins DO NOT buy buckwheat flour at ANY store!!!  They will not turn out.   Buckwheat flour in stores is ground from buckwheat with the hull left on and it gives a horrible chalky flavor to baked goods and is too heavy and produces terrible results in baking.

YOU MUST grind your own from buckwheat groats, the groats should be brown not black!!!
