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)

My response? Think about the real cost of not eating well."

Veggie Rolls

These look scrumptious. My mouth is watering just looking at the photo. You can opt to use hummus instead of the tofu and I bet it would still taste great. CLICK for recipe.

The Big Secret

"The big secret in life is that there is no secret. Whatever your
goal, you can get there if you are willing to work. It is called
massive action. Action is the gas in the tank. Without it, the car
will not run."

A Great Reason to Use Arbonne (wink, wink)

Wellness/Prevention: Constantly Changing.
Your body is constantly sloughing off old cells and growing new ones. For example, you shed 600,000 particles of skin every hour, about 1.5 lbs a year. By 70 years of age, you will have lost 105 lbs of skin.
