If you are following a dairy-free diet it can be challenging to find something creamy to use as filling or icing. Fear not! This coconut whipped cream recipe will solve that problem for sure. It may be used as a filling or as an icing. It comes out light, creamy and as smooth as diary cream.

Starting October 5, 2011 I challenge you to follow a grain-free diet for 28 days. That will be just enough time to determine what benefit removing grains from your diet will have on your health. There is just no getting around the fact that you will have to stop all grain products; bread, cereal, rice, pasta, cake and cookies. However, eating fruits and vegetables as your main source of carbohydrates is so much healthier.
While Monsanto markets it's GM crops as the solution to world hunger, it should come as no surprise that a new study released from the US Public Interest Research Group shows that the majority of USDA subsidized produce is used to produce junk food.
The study, aptly called "Apples to Twinkies," showed that between 1995 and 2010, out of the $260 billion spent on subsidies, 17 billion went to four common food additives: corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, corn starch and soy oils.

I always love the fall, when the apples start to come in and you can bake and cook them into seasonal delicacies. Fresh, sweet,organic apples may be used for so many easy and fun treats!

Combined with fresh organic apples it makes for a wonderful dessert. These ingredients are simple, pure and whole -- so nutritious and satisfying.

Olive oil has been valued for centuries for it's nutrient content and beneficial effects on health. There are actually hundreds of healthful compounds in olive oil some of which are phenols; which have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticoagulant properties; monounsaturated fats which are known to be heart healthy; and the fat soluble vitamins E and K.

Brisket is probably my favorite cut for braised, slow cooked meat. It is a great treat for any holiday (it is a traditional meal for the Jewish New Year coming up) or just a wonderful savory meal. There are many recipes for brisket that add cans of soup or boxed flavorings. Clearly we do not follow those here. Actually the tastiest cut to get is the whole brisket that has not had any fat trimmed at all.

In the past 50 years celiac disease has increased from 1 in 700 to 1 in 100. While many think it is mainly an "inherited" disorder, the pattern of inheritance is complicated.

Ghee has been used in Indian cooking for thousands of years and is also used in religious ceremonies and as part of the Aruvedic healing arts. Much like the springtime butter of the traditional cultures studies by Dr. Weston Price, ghee is also considered a sacred food.
There is an exciting new frontier of research being conducted involving intestinal bacteria. Finally the scientific community has accepted what nutritionists have been saying for years… that the microflora in the gut is critical to good health.
