Wild Blueberry Coconut Chia Overnight N’Oatmeal

01/13/2018
Wild Blueberry Coconut Chia Overnight N'Oatmeal

Meet my I’m-not-a-breakfast-person kind of start to the day. I love breakfast food but I never have the time or inclination to eat before noon Monday through Friday. So I mix blueberries, coconut, coconut milk, chia seeds, hemp seeds, vanilla, and salt the night before, and wake up to thickened, glorious n'oats (which is short for "not oats" since there's no oatmeal in this recipe). Thi[...]

I'm posting these Vanilla Protein Blackberry Crumble Bars in honor of the rebrand over at Equip Foods, my favorite protein brand. These are made with Equip's vanilla Prime Protein, which I love because it has only four ingredients: beef isolate, coconut milk powder, vanilla, and stevia. No gluten, dairy, whey, soy, hormones, antibiotics, fillers, artificial sweeteners, or preservatives. Ma[...]

3-Ingredient No-Bake Coconut Honey Nut Butter Cups (Grain/Gluten-Free)

3-Ingredient No-Bake Coconut Honey Nut Butter Cups

Yes, I know "simple" is so over-used by recipes where one of the ingredients is puff pastry, or Nutella, or boxed cake mix. But this is the real deal, old-fashioned simple. If you don't opt for the toppings, these are the simplest, easiest, no-brainiest bars ever to be.  There are literally 3 ingredients, no baking. Only measuring. Measuring just three ingredients. Of course, I co[...]

Banana Cream Pie N’Oatmeal (and a Brief History of Breakfast)

06/27/2016
This Banana Cream Pie "N'Oatmeal " (that's NOT OATMEAL) is a fruit-sweetened, creamy coconut breakfast alternative to cereal.

Have you heard the phrase "breakfast is the most important meal of the day"? Where did you hear it? Do you believe it? Why? Perhaps because your mother told you, who was doubtless quoting the words of highly-qualified, impartial nutritionists who publicized their findings after rigorous research? Earlier this month The Atlantic posted an article titled Why Cereal Has Such Ag[...]

75 Healthy Kid-Friendly Snacks

06/07/2016

Today I have a boatload of recipes for healthy kid-friendly snacks, which remind me: have you been following the drama between the FDA and Kind bars? The FDA is re-evaluating its definition of what counts as a "healthy" food, because healthy fats—such as the fats found in nuts and avocado—are increasingly recognized as part of a nutritious diet. The change was precipitated[...]

Fresh Raspberry French Silk Pie? When I heard the name for this recipe, I couldn't imagine a more decadent and luxurious one, and the recipe has turned out to live up to it in spades.

This fruit-sweetened Blueberry Baked N’Oatmeal recipe features blueberries (or any fruit you’d like), wholesome coconut, nuts and warming spices. You can bake some now and enjoy n'oatmeal for the rest of the week!

I made this Blueberry Baked N'Oatmeal on a Monday, and shamelessly ate it for several meals in a row after perfecting the recipe (not to mention straight from the pan)! I named it Blueberry Baked "N'Oatmeal" because it's not oatmeal. See what I did there?  It makes a wonderfully filling make-ahead breakfast that keeps well for days and is delicious hot or cold.

Maybe you’ve heard of cakes that you make in a microwave? Can't lie, the first time I saw a recipe for a mug cake I dismissed it immediately. How can you make anything with the taste and consistency of cake in just a few minutes? But I have quite the culinary curiosity, so I set out to test the theory. Results?

Well, if I'm going to indulge after a night of fun... it'll be cereal. So when I saw Recipes to Nourish's Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal, I couldn't wait to give it a happy holidays, grain-free spin.
