For those of you who missed my Healthy & Delicious snacks class, I thought I'd post the class's favorite recipe- Lemon Drop Energy Balls! Rich in good fats and protein, this snack will keep you energized and satisfied with just 1 or 2 bites! It's also slightly tart and tangy, which reminds some people of lemon squares or desserts with lemon curd. I like adding maca root powder to my energy balls because it's great for regulating hormones (for men and women) and has been found

Every time I make this recipe at a party, it's a huge hit and everyone asks me for the recipe. I thought I'd finally share my secrets to the smokey delicacy - my modified low FODMAP, garlic free recipe that tastes even better than a traditional Romesco with almonds and garlic. It's amazing how the flavors come together when you add ingredients that are already so flavorful and delicious! Red peppers and tomatoes are both high in lycopene, Vitamin C, B vitamins and Vitamin K.

As the weather gets colder, it's great to have warm, savory root vegetable like parsnips. Not only are they super comforting and tasty, they're also high in potassium, Vitamin C, magnesium and phytonutrients. Parsnips are low in fermentable sugars, meaning they won't cause bloating like some other starches (butternut squash, sweet potato) if you have IBS. This recipe is low FODMAP, low gylcemic index, nightshade free, gluten free, and vegan if you use coconut oil- all the fre

Lately I've been making lots of herb sauces from our garden, since we have lots of thai basil, rosemary, parsley and cilantro.
