My Sister's White Bean and Veggie Soup Puree



Making this as I type and the house smells sooo good!

Here is the recipe - doesn't get much easier or more healthy:

Sautee a large onion (yellow or white) and a few garlic cloves in olive oil
Roughly chop a couple of carrots and celery stalks and throw into pot
Saute this much for about 5 minutes
Add chopped zuchhini, yellow squash and mushrooms
*I used an entire zucchini and 2 smaller yellow squash and baby portabellos
Add enough broth (veggie or chicken) to cover all veggies -- about 4 cups
Add white beans (I used an entire can of organic, sodium-free white beans)
Simmer for 5 minutes
Add salt and pepper and simmer for another 10-15 minutes
Pour into Blender/VitaMix and puree
Eat
The End

Granola Muffins

I found this recipe while searching online for new things to try. The only problem was that the original recipe called for some ingredients I try to avoid (dairy, gluten, wheat, etc.)

Thank goodness for my 'foodie' friend, Andrea, who gave me some great substitutes to use for this recipe. I think they turned out great!


Substitute:
1. Granola - use UDI's Gluten Free granola
2. Flour - use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour
3. Buttermilk - use coconut milk yogurt
4. Canola Oil - use organic apple sauce
5. Milk - use any non-dairy of your choice (I used Rice Milk)

Muffins!!



I baked these muffins today for Clara's preschool class (and extras for us!). They are FREE of junk and FULL of healthy ingredients. The brand is Namaste Foods. The girls just did a taste-test and they LOVE these. It is possible to bake and have treats that are healthy and free of tons of artificial gunk...without sacrificing yummy-ness!

My Special Arbonne Gift


I won this beautiful necklace in our Arbonne team raffle. My wonderful friend and Arbonne National VP sent this to me along with a note that included a lovely quote: "The greatest oak was once a little nut who held its ground."
