A Good Substitute for Coffee Creamer If you’re trying to cut back on dairy, you may try almond milk in your coffee only to discover that it doesn’t work very well as a creamer substitute.

This coffee creamer gets its added creaminess from the addition of coconut oil....

Happy New Year my friends! To start off the new year right, I’m giving you a favorite recipe of mine, a healthy whole wheat banana nut bread, that most of us make often because we always have some extra ripe bananas on hand. I tweaked this recipe quite a bit to turn it into a very healthy and good for you banana bread. I made some wonderful substitutions and got rid of the oil and replaced it with apple sauce, replaced some of the white flour with whole wheat flour and cut down on the sugar from the usual one full cup of sugar in a loaf to only 1/2 cup of brown sugar....

Note that this recipe is raw, naturally vegan, and gluten-free, but don’t panic!...

Sugar (Granulated): Adds sweetness to balance the spices and richness of the eggnog....

Looking for a new way to cook cauliflower rice? I usually use it in my Cauliflower “Fried” Rice because I think the soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari) completely masks the flavor of the cauliflower, as it also does in my Cauliflower Rice Jambalaya, but every now and then I want a different flavor profile. This time, I decided to give the cauliflower rice a Mexican flair with this Mexican Cauliflower Rice Casserole....

Hence, why I prefer to make this “cheater’s risotto.” It’s takes half the time to prepare, when compared to the traditional version, and it’s pretty difficult to mess up!

Paired with an easy mushroom sauce that can be whipped up as the quinoa is cooking, this dish has the creaminess of risotto, without the need for constant stirring and ladling....
