Read MoreCHOCOLATE OATMEAL HAYSTACKS
/
No-bake chocolate oatmeal “haystacks” were the first cookies I ever made growing up. Here I have put a healthy spin on the sugar-laden recipe of my youth.
Now don’t get me wrong — there’s nothing wrong with indulging in some good old fashioned (or shall we say “un-healthified”) comfort food from time-to-time. But I also love remaking recipes so that they are both nutritious AND delicious. When we put some thought and consideration into our ingredients, we can create tasty treats with actual health benefits. And who doesn’t want to give their family cookies — maybe even for brekkie — and feel good about it?!?

Read MoreGOLDEN PALEO BIRCHER MUESLI
/
Bircher muesli was first developed circa 1900 by a Swiss doctor and nutritionist, Maximilian Bircher-Brenner. It is still a popular breakfast in Switzerland, where I first encountered it.

Read MoreHOMEMADE PALEO MUESLI (dry mix)
/
This is a delicious, grain-free, paleo & keto version of muesli.
Muesli differs from granola in that it is a mixture of raw cereals (most often oats), dried fruit, seeds and nuts, whereas granola is baked. Muesli is typically soaked with dairy or nondairy milk, yogurt, or fruit juice before eating to make it easier to chew and digest. It's super easy to throw a big batch together as part of meal prep and then have on-hand for a couple weeks.
