Totally Satisfying, Gluten-Free, Almond Flour Fudge Brownies

January 30, 2019 By Jacqueline 2 Comments

Post and photos by Diana from My Humble Kitchen.

[I have been eagerly building my repertoire of gluten-free recipes, so when I tried and really loved Diana’s wonderful almond flour fudge brownies, it seemed natural to ask her to guest post their baking journey and her recipe. I used Honeyville blanched almond flour. I love that it stores well in the freezer and has the skins removed by a quick soaking to cut down on phytic acid.]

I don’t believe there are many things that taste as good as a freshly baked loaf of bread, slicing into its blistered crackling crust, warm from the oven, and then smothering it with golden butter. Love. That’s what it is. I absolutely love bread but as I’ve grown older, I’ve found that I don’t digest it as well as I used to.

Bummer, right?

Are eggs bad for you, good for you, or somewhere in between?

The answer will be different depending on when you live. I was raised eating lots of eggs in the 50s but was taught they were bad for you in nursing school in the 70s and carried that thinking into my job as a heart nurse. For the past 4 decades or so, those in the health industry strongly recommended limiting eggs in the diet because of the amount of cholesterol in the yolks, even promoting crazy products such as Eggbeaters.

Sheila Kilbane’s Natural Alternative Recipe For PediaSure®

November 24, 2018 By Jacqueline

When I read integrative pediatrician Sheila Kilbane’s first encounter with PediaSure®, I rocked with laughter! [I thank Sheila for writing the second part of this post for me. She is a true advocate for children and parents in the best sense of the word.]

Sheila was on a long road trip three years out of pediatric residency and ran out of food. She was famished and forced to purchase something at a West Virginia gas station. She grabbed a bottle of PediaSure®. It seemed like the only “healthy” choice beside Little Debbies, Twinkies and HoHos. Despite being a pediatrician, until that moment she had never experienced PediaSure® or read the label….

In response to my post No Flu Shots 4 Us: We Use Elderberry Syrup (99% Effective For H5N1), many have been sharing (unsolicited) anecdotally how well elderberry does for them to shorten, lessen or halt the flu altogether.

So when a mom commenter stated that her daughter Hadleigh was immune-compromised and had been taking elderberry daily to see if it helped, I did some digging to see if there was anything in science to support that….
