Super Summer Sale! Honeyville Blanched Almond Flour as low as $3.87 per pound!

August 10, 2012 by · 4 Comments

From muffins, cakes and cookies to pies, biscuits and crackers – the ideas are endless for creating nutritious and delicious recipes using blanched almond flour and coconut flour!

My wonderful friends at Honeyville Farms are at it again – providing 15% off your ENTIRE order now through Tuesday, August 14, 2012.

Simply enter coupon code SPLASH during checkout.

So if you’ve been tossing around the idea of doing your own Test Kitchen Showdown with their high quality blanched almond flour, now’s the time to order!

Honeyville’s 5-lb bag of blanched almond flour (or 5-lb bag of coconut flour) is just $25.49 with the coupon code (which equates to $5.10 per pound). And if you use blanched almond flour a couple of times a week or more, I recommend purchasing the *bulk size (25lbs) for $96.89 with coupon code. That’s just $3.87 per pound!

As most of you know, blanched almond flour and coconut flour are two of my favorite GF staples! Both are quite easy to work with and make the most delicious light, fluffy baked goods. Even more important, they are much more nutritious compared to typical GF flour blends that consist mainly of starches such as rice, tapioca and potato. Blanched almond flour and coconut flour are both low in carbohydrates and are high in protein and dietary fiber, as well as contain many beneficial nutrients.

*Tip: If you decide to save big and purchase the 25-lb size like I do, simply repackage it into your own 5-lb containers or ziplock-style bags and place one in your pantry and the rest in the freezer. Blanched almond flour will stay fresh in an airtight container in the pantry for about 6-8 weeks and will stay fresh in an airtight container in the freezer for up to six months.

New Raw Cookie Recipe with Honey Pacifica!

August 9, 2012 by · 19 Comments

As a special thank you to my friends at Honey Pacifica, I’ve created this special Raw Cacao-Coconut Cookie Bite recipe, which is every bit as healthy as it is delicious!

I’m excited to partner with my favorite raw honey friends at Honey Pacifica to bring you a new twist on my famous raw cookie dough bites. This new version, Raw Cacao-Coconut Cookie Bites, is absolutely delightful and features Honey Pacifica’s mild raw sage honey – perfect for adding just the right amount of all-natural, healthy sweetness to any real food recipe.

Honey Pacifica has been producing delicious raw honey since 1978. Their cold-packed honey varieties are 100% raw, unheated, unfiltered and unprocessed in order to preserve all of the honey’s natural anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

Why raw honey? It’s simple – because it’s good for you! The health benefits of raw honey are numerous and well documented. It’s a living food that contains natural antioxidants; enzymes; and minerals including iron, zinc, potassium, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and selenium; as well as important vitamins such as B6, thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid and niacin. In addition, the nutraceuticals contained in raw honey help neutralize damaging free radical activity. Raw honey is definitely a healthy, all-natural sweetener that you can feel good about enjoying (in moderation, of course).

So, I invited you to pop over to Honey Pacifica to check out my delicious and nutritious Raw Cacao-Coconut Cookie Bites. They’re truly my new all-time favorite!

Just be careful not to make these by yourself, unless you have unfathomable willpower, because YES! They are that good!

Peach Pancakes (GF option)

August 7, 2012 by · 10 Comments

Summertime brings an abundance of fresh organic peaches, which always results in lots of smiles in our house as we try to find new ways to enjoy them at virtually every meal.

Of course, a super easy way to savor summer peaches, is to simply add them to your favorite pancakes! Peach pancakes make the perfect weekend family breakfast, or even a quick, yet healthy weeknight dinner.

STEP ONE: Choose Your Pancake Batter …
All three of my nutritious pancake batters work great with fresh, ripe peaches:
• Almond Flour Pancakes(GF)
• Coconut Flour Pancakes(GF)
• Soaked Whole Grain Power Pancakes

I frequently opt for almond flour pancakes, because their mild flavor and light, fluffy texture is more reminiscent of traditional white flour pancakes. Yet, unlike refined white flour, almond flour (as well as coconut flour and properly prepared whole grain flour) provides a good dose of protein, fiber and nutrients in every bite!

STEP TWO: Fire-Up The Griddle!
Once you’ve prepared your pancake batter, preheat your griddle. While waiting for the griddle to get hot, peel and slice three fresh ripe peaches. A quick and easy way to peel peaches … bring a stockpot of water to a rolling boil. Add whole peaches and allow to steep for one minute. Using tongs, remove peaches from boiling water and place in a cold water bath. Once cooled to touch, peel off skins and slice.

Once your griddle is hot (a couple of drops of water added  to the griddle should “dance” across the surface), lightly grease surface with butter or coconut oil. Ladle pancake batter onto hot griddle and top with one or two peach slices. (Placing fruit on top, rather than mixing it into the batter, helps to ensure that the pancakes cook through evenly.)


When making almond flour or coconut flour pancakes, it’s best to keep them small since they’re so delicate. Keeping the pancakes small (about 3″ in diameter) makes it easier to flip them and also helps them cook-up nice and fluffy! Another trick is to use a slightly damp nylon spatula, which helps to keep the pancake from sticking to the spatula.


Serve these scrumptious peach pancakes hot off the griddle with cultured butter and pure maple syrup, or a dollop of homemade yogurt drizzled with raw honey. Yum!

Wishing you a peachy summer! Blessings, Kelly
