Smoky Paprika Roasted Aubergine DipI’ve always enjoyed creamy yogurt veggie dips or cracker dips like chickpea hummus. But every time I finish eating, I end up feeling extremely bloated and have stomach cramps all day.

Living with food sensitivities can be a real bummer sometimes. Which is why I was extremely delighted when I tried baba ghanoush a couple days ago. It’s just as hearty and satisfying as hummus but with no dairy and no beans! Amazing!  READ MORE

I quietly scurried off to the bathroom to take a pregnancy test. Waiting for those couple of minutes to see the results seemed like hours! When I finally looked at the stick and read the exciting word “YES” I must have jumped about 3 feet in the air with excitement. I’m going to have a baby!!  READ MORE

Luckily Steve had researched healthy hot spots before we left for vacation and had a map printed out with directions to this incredible restaurant called Choice Health Bar. READ MORE
