5 Recipes Everybody Needs to Know



Why?
These easy to make granola clusters are gluten free, oil free and low in sugar plus super easy to make. I have made different versions of this recipe by changing from sunflower seeds to pumpkin seeds, pecans, or walnuts, adding coconut flakes or goji berries, or using peanut butter or almond butter instead of the sunflower butter called for in the original recipe and the granola always comes out delicious.
These granola clusters go well with almond milk, sprinkled over coconut yogurt, sprinkled on top of a fruit smoothie or just alone as a snack.

Why?
Another easy to make recipe, this is a fantastic high protein low carbohydrate option for breakfast or for lunch served with a salad. This recipe can also be made ahead of time and frozen for an even easier meal-on-hand.  Plus, with 2.5% of children having an allergy to eggs and this number steadily climbing, you are bound to be cooking for someone with and egg allergy and it’s great to have his recipe on hand.


Why?
These snack bars are high in minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium as well as protein. They have a touch of sweetness which is perfect for late-afternoon cravings. These bars are great to have on hand, best kept frozen or refrigerated, and are much more economical that commercially made nuts/seed bars.

Why?
This is a perfect meal to introduce carnivores to how satisfying a meat-free meal can be. It has familiar flavors of lemon and white wine and you can follow the serving suggestion and serve with mashed potatoes or serve the picatta over wild rice or pasta. Adding any green vegetable you like (spinach, kale, broccoli, etc.) also gives you a complete meal with versatility.


Why?
Following the instructions and using organic canned beans (rinsed and drained of course), you really will have a healthy meal ready in 20 minutes! Need I say more?
