DELIVERING DELECTABLE DISHES DAY & NIGHT!

My immediate family has dealt with lactose intolerance, IBS, auto immune disorders and fatal cancer. From Fall '09-Summer 2010 I went from running 1/2 marathons to not being able to get out of bed, plagued with intense headaches, exhaustion and more. With my family history and my own immune system comprimised I was motivated to take a bit of a journey to better health. Slowly I've made considerable changes, (I'm not always 100% vigilant), but I know these changes have helped me return to better health...FOOD CHANGES: I cut out gluten, cut out most dairy, cut down on the "white stuff"-sugar, white rice & flour, decreased the amount of processed foods consumed, drink green smoothies regularly, eliminated red meat and eat more vegetarian and vegan dishes...just to name a few!

I use gluten free (GF) pasta and either a whole grain blend by Nalani Brown or a mix from Kathy Taylor for most bread, cake and cookie recipes-they are awesome! (If you like Kathy's mix, email me to order her cookbook at ishagirlclub@gmail.com.)

GF mix can be substituted straight across for regular flour if you aren't cooking gluten free!

Hope you enjoy!

No Bake Energy Bites

1 cup    oatmeal
1 cup    unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2cup  milled/ground flaxseed
1/2cup  carob chips, chopped up (get dairy free ones) or mini chocolate chips if you don't like carob
1tsp      vanilla
1/2cup  almond butter (or peanut butter)
1/3cup  honey (raw & local if you can!)

1. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl till well combined first, then add the vanilla, almond butter and honey.  I have often used my hands to blend.  Clump into large ball, cover and chill for 30min.

2. Roll into bite size balls and store in fridge for about a week-if you can get them to last that long.

I adapted original recipe from
