Faux Velveeta/American Cheese

There are many things that go missing when your diet requirements change. Some things, I can do without. Some things, I must keep, in some form or another. I LOVE Mexican food, and not having cheese dip and tortilla chips as an appetizer, was just unacceptable. So here we go. This recipe yields a cheese that is similar to Velveeta. The main “cheesey” flavor comes from nutritional yeast. Nutritional yeast, not active or instant, it is an inactive yeast. It offers a complete protein and vitamin B...

“Easter Egg Hunt” Chocolate Cookie Cake

This is such a fun Cake to make for Easter, and in this case, was also my baby girls’ first birthday! Thank you Mikita Burton of Fox 4 news for the idea on making this! I made two batches of this recipe, which made one 9 inch cake round and 17 mini cup cakes. My 3 year old son and I had so much fun preparing this together (while the baby grabbed whatever sweets that she could get her hands on ). The cake ended up very rich and chocolatey. You could add nuts, chocolate chips, coconut or even...

There are lots of other incredible health benefits with broccoli, so I use it as much as possible.  Read more about the health benefits of broccoli on Natural News. Broccoli tastes great when it is prepared with sweet ingredients, like apples or raisins. I often saute or grill broccoli and apples that have been...

Red Potato Salad

A summer classic, but you know I must put a spin on it to make it a little different than the “norm”. This dish is great to prepare ahead of time, it will keep in the refrigerator for a least a week. It’s best made the day before, so the ingredients have a chance to marry. I adore easy cooking and creating meals that include ingredients that can be used in multiple dishes. Another tip, as I have said before, I like to leave the skins on if the potatoes are fresh, young and super clean. Potato...
