About Me

My name is Denise and I have an autoimmune condition of the thyroid called Hashimoto's Disease. This diagnosis brings a different set of challenges for each patient although most of us have to make major changes in our diet. Until recently, my diet was high in gluten, dairy, soy and corn. In fact, I didn't even know the names of 75% of the items in the fresh food isle! That's been the biggest obstacle on my quest to wellness. It is the reason I started this blog; to find and share recipes without those inflammatory ingredients. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! If you have a favorite recipe of your own to share, please drop me a note via email or through my facebook page. Thanks for checking out the blog -- I look forward to hearing from you!

Frozen Berry Delight

Frozen Berry Delight... sounds like something we're not supposed to enjoy, doesn't it?! But it's actually like a smoothie on a stick.  If you make protein shakes or smoothies, then you probably already have the ingredients in your kitchen!  All you need are some popsicle molds; if you don't own any, look around your kitchen and use your imagination (toddler cups, jello molds, paper cups, etc).  Here's all you need:



1 cup coconut milk
1 cup mashed bananas
1/4 cup berries
1/2 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
1 tsp honey (optional)

Blend it all up and pour it in the molds; freeze.  That's it!!!



The great thing about this recipe is that you can make several different flavors by changing what kind of fruit you add and keep them stocked up in the freezer.  And, now you can have dessert with your family!

"I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener.  He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more."
John 15:1-2
