Things I Love

La Dolce Vita Gourmet Cashew Butter

July 22, 2013

Made locally and discovered at my Farmers Market, La Dolce Vita Gourmet nut butters in all their variations are a constant in my household, used for everything from cooking to sandwiches to fueling for training. My personal favorite is the cashew butter Sicilian Coffee. To sweeten the deal, all proceeds for La Dolce Vita Gourmet go to help provide medical care, surgery and homes for severally neglected and abused animals.

Farmers Market

July 22, 2013

Farmers Market is always on my “to do” list. It’s where I go to get the freshest fruits and veggies and local products. The freshly picked produce doesn’t have to travel far from the farm to my house, I can get the best of what’s in season, and I support my community. What’s not to love?

Bob’s Red Mill Coconut Flour

July 19, 2013

Coconut flour – packed with protein, fiber and nutrients – is a staple in many of my gluten-free baking recipes. Just know that when substituting coconut flour for wheat flour, use less, add more eggs, and sometimes I add almond butter for consistency. [Link to Banana Muffin Recipe].

Sillicon Pad / Cupcake Molds – (professional baking mat)

July 19, 2013

One of my favorite finds for baking is the silicon pad (and cupcake molds). Stick-free without using grease, these pads make baking so much easier – and healthier!
