RECIPES
Gluten-Free Peanut-Butter Cookie Sandwiches (sugar-free & vegan)
Diabetic-Friendly, Kid Friendly, Sweets
Crazy-delicious, this Gluten-Free PEANUT-BUTTER COOKIE SANDWICH RECIPE breaks all the rules because even the creamy frosting is healthy too! While standard buttercream frosting is LOADED WITH ICING SUGAR (typically 4 cups to 1 pound per batch), this delectable recipe is entirely free of cane sugar!
YUM Tabbouleh Salad (gf, vegan, paleo, low-GI)
Appetizers & Sides, Diabetic-Friendly, Salads
This fresh take on the traditional tabbouleh salad is crazy-delicious and also extremely versatile. It is not only fantastic straight up as it is, but can be used as a condiment or serve as an awesome prepped food for other dishes.
YUM STRAWBERRY JELLY (vegan, gf, sugar-free, diabetic-friendly, low GI, low-sodium)
Diabetic-Friendly, Kid Friendly, Sweets
Because of the use of low-GI sweetening, combined with the naturally low carbohydrate density of strawberries, this delectable dessert is diabetic-friendly!

I have walked many paths, from psychology and parenting to health, fine arts and science, so there is a broad range of topics and populations I can serve. My greatest offering is helping my audiences learn how to be intentionally present and accepting of what is, choosing love and gratitude as core guiding principles for living, and encouraging openness to the possibility of transformation, even in the face of seeming
