ADOPTION Update and NEW COLOR COOKBOOK

After years of waiting for my family to grow, Craig and I are on our way to pick up our boys; Baby Kai and Micah. There are no words to describe this feeling...

Thank you to all who have prayed for us along this journey!

On another happy note, my new COLOR dessert cookbook is now available. For those of you who are frustrated with how to convert almond flour to coconut flour and erythritol to Just Like Sugar, here is your answer! I have all the conversions along with WHY I use certain ingredients.

This book is gluten free and also gives dairy free options for the recipes. Click HERE to order!

This isn't JUST an "eye-candy" cookbook (although it does have beautiful photos), it also has health facts; such as how stop cancer from growing, what acid blockers do to our body and how to heal the intestines naturally, how to calm detrimental menopausal symptoms, cholesterol facts, thyroid boosting foods, how to heal a 'tired toxic liver', and so many other tips. This book is meant to read like a magazine; quick fun facts with color photos and recipes with nutritional comparisons (calories, fat, protein, carbs and fiber). Below is a sneak peak of what the inside looks like...

This is the first in a series of color cookbooks I plan to write. The next will be a SAVORY cookbook, then a BABY and KIDS cookbook, and a HOLIDAY book. The title says it all, we all NEED to eat, but to eat HEALTHY is an Art!

I will be holding a Christmas Tasting Party and Book Signing at my home on Saturday December 10th starting at 5pm and it will go until all the samples are gone! I know the ingredients aren't cheap and this way you can sample some of the desserts to decide on which ones you would like to make.

I want to give a special thank you to Rebecca Oberle. She helped me so much on this book and she did it all for a few baked treats from my kitchen. What an amazing woman she is! (She also donated breastmilk for Baby Kai!). I also want to thank Jamie Schultz for the cover photo.

LOW CARBING AMONG FRIENDS

I am very excited to announce a new cookbook that I am honored to be a part of. With the guidance of Jennifer Eloff and a passionate group of writers, we have collaborated to create an amazing new cookbook called LOW CARBING AMOUNG FRIENDS.

Please check out the website at: amongfriends.us


"Low-Carbing Among Friends is a revolutionary cookbook in several ways. First of all it is a low-carb cookbook with a difference – it is also gluten-free. Second of all it is collaboration between 5 talented and innovative authors and 6 other very famous people in the low-carb world. Thirdly, the cookbook is comprised of 5 mini-cookbooks of at least 60 recipes each, showcasing the unique talents and recipes of each author, bringing an exciting new cookbook as never seen before to the low-carb world. In addition, 6 famous people round out the team of 11, and contribute their ideas, making this an even more value-added book.

Low-Carbers, in particular, will love this book as there are many recipes from induction to moderate low-carbing and all recipes are less than 10 grams of carbohydrate per serving and most are less than 5 grams of carbohydrate per serving. Low-Carbers who are either intolerant of gluten or have Celiac disease will be thankful for this enormous resource of 100% gluten-free and low-carb recipes. At the same time, it is now becoming clear, with best-selling books out there like Wheat Belly by Cardiologist, Dr. William Davis that wheat is a problem for many people for a variety of reasons, so going gluten-free certainly helps people with weight loss. Even the publisher, who has maintained a healthy weight on low-carb diets, found his appetite was still not curbed enough, so his ideal weight always seemed out of reach. The problem turned out to be that he was still getting plenty of gluten (often used in low-carb baking) and that the gluten and other components of the wheat flour were stimulating his appetite. By going gluten-free, the weight just dropped off in no time and his blood pressure normalized. He was convinced!

The recipes are very innovative and wonderful breakthroughs! It is one thing to create low-carb and sugar-free recipes, and most of us have a pretty good handle on that now, but it is often quite another thing to also make those same recipes gluten-free. That can be very challenging! This extraordinary cookbook deserves a place in your cookbook library.

By buying "Low-Carbing among friends", for around $20, you get to "invite" 6 leading low-carb experts into your living-room, where in the comfort of your arm-chair, they share their expertise with you regarding diet and health, and then you get to "invite" 5 leading low-carb recipe experts into your kitchen - there to teach you cutting-edge techniques to help you make tasty, healthy, low-carb meals and desserts, and your whole family benefits! Or you could take the $20 so (maybe) 3 of you can eat a fast-food meal, just once, without any lasting benefit to you or your family."

Pre-ordering is available and the first printing will most likely sell out fast and by ordering now, you will assure yourself an awesome new cookbook. Thank you SO much for your love and support!
