SAVORY LENTIL WRAPS or FLATBREAD
This is one of those recipes you will wish you’d been making a long time ago once you realize how easy it is
Wraps are my go-to pizza crust and of course they are just perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. Usually I buy them yet making them myself is my preference for I can control exactly what goes into them and adding herbs and spices makes the most perfect wraps ever in my view. You really must try these for yourself.

CRISPY COCONUT CRUNCH
Sometimes the best creations come about from an inspiration prompted by something else. Ha ha – that’s all creation I suspect. There I was, eating, just baked granola straight off the baking pan.
I found myself seeking out the ribbons of coconut, all toasted and coated with oats, (or almond meal), flax and cinnamon. It was so addictive this recipe was born and it’s bliss. Best – it is easy to make. I mean EASY!

BEAUTIFUL BASIL PESTO
Hail basil, one of the most beloved herbs by so many of us. Oh yes, I am one of them, talk to me about pesto! Plus there are so many ways to make it and this version is a tasty take on traditional pesto infused with a trifecta of omega 3’s to help combat inflammation.
The alkalizing anti-inflammatory properties help overcome inflammatory pain, and muscle/joint soreness. Enjoy this sassy sauce with your favorite alkaline protein option such as Portobello mushrooms filled with French lentils, and served over a bed of sautéed greens. Top that with a generous dollop of pesto and a sprinkling of nutritional yeast (adds a great source of B vitamins conducive to recovery) and oh yum!

ROASTED PEPPER SAUCE – for pasta, pizza and tacos
Oh how I adore roasted sweet bell peppers and they make for a perfect sauce when pureed with garlic, herbs, a little olive oil and sea salt. It’s all that’s needed for an ever-so-yummy, eat it straight out of the blender creation. Enjoy with pasta, polenta, on pizza, flatbread, over roasted veggies or raw – veggie noodles of zucchini, squash, sweet potatoes and carrot, with tacos and even as a dipping sauce. I find it's best used immediately. If you have extras be sure to warm before serving.

CASHEW CACAO CLUSTERS
This recipe was inspired during the holiday season while creating a Christmas care package for my son (and my own desire for full, taste explosions of flavor that just happen to pack healthy power). Every year I aim to come up with a few indulgent treats that mark the holidays and this year cashews and cacao nibs have been an addiction for me so I made a double batch of these. Some for gifts, as well as some to serve at a party yet… I have been into it almost daily so I will be making more.
