It not only adds a hint of sweet vanilla goodness, but also provides lots of eye appeal too. With just a little swirl of this delicious glaze, you can magically transform any baked good into a party-perfect treat! Yum!

Sweet Vanilla Glaze (GF, DF)

Yield: 1/2 cup of icing

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut cream (see instructions below)
  • 1 tbsp, plus 1 tsp raw honey
  • 2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place one can of unsweetened coconut milk into the fridge for at least 1-2 hours. By chilling the can of coconut milk, the coconut cream will rise to the top of the can.
  2. Measure out 1/2 cup of coconut cream; reserve remainder for another use.
  3. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, blend together the honey, coconut oil and vanilla, until well combined and creamy.
  4. Then, mix in the coconut cream until thoroughly combined and mixture is light and fluffy.
  5. Transfer glaze to a pastry bag or small ziplock-style baggie. Twist bag to move the glaze into one corner of the bag (the tip) and secure it with a rubberband.
  6. Refrigerate glaze at least 1-2 hours, or may be stored in the fridge 1-2 days.
  7. When ready to use, snip the tip of the bag and begin swirling.
  8. This delicious glaze adds the perfect decorative touch to cakes, cookies, quick breads and muffins. Enjoy!

A Healthy New Year … Now!

By Kelly · Leave a Comment

The bad news …. this bundle sale has ended. The good news … a whole new bundle sale will be coordinated again next year by the amazing Healthy Living Bundle Team. Stay tuned!

Why wait until January to resolve to make healthy changes? Why not make a significant difference in your health (and your family’s) starting right now!

If you’ve followed this site for awhile, you know that there is just one bundle sale that I endorse, and that’s because it’s the one bundle that I always look forward to purchasing myself – The Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle.

And I couldn’t be more excited about this particular bundle collection! That’s because all of the resources needed to start (or continue progressing) on the healthy living journey are right here in the Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle!

Psst! The creators of this amazing bundle added PAYPAL as an option – so paypal away, if that’s your preferred purchase option! Thanks, Healthy Living Bundle Team!

ultimate-bundles-homepageBuy Now

In fact, you’ll receive more than $1,000 in healthy living resources for less than $30, including 80+ books on topics such as healthy living, real food recipes, meal planning, fitness, natural skin care and more! Not to mention the ability to interface with the authors in the bundle sale via exclusive weekly interactive online conferences covering key health topics that are designed to both encourage and educate.

Are you still on the fence about the Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle?

If so, I thought it might help if I share two great reasons to purchase this it here:

1. Help yourself and your family, while helping others. As mentioned, there are SO MANY amazing resources in this bundle specifically coordinated to help you and your family to live healthier. And by purchasing the bundle here at The Nourishing Home, you’ll be partnering with me to meet the daily life needs of children and families across the globe – that’s because I am donating 50% of ALL proceeds I receive from this sale to Samaritan’s Purse. And the creators of the bundle are donating 25% of their proceeds to various charities as well!

2. Help your friends and extended family, while also helping yourself and those most in need! You might be wondering what to do with 80+ eBooks? And although I’m pretty certain that we could all benefit from many of the books provided in this bundle, I’m even more confident that each of us could easily jot down the names of at least a dozen friends and family members who could benefit from many of the books in this amazing collection as well.

So why not keep the books that you need most and share the wealth by passing the rest of them along to family and friends as a thoughtful gift (especially with Christmas right around the corner!).

Again, no pressure! If you are not interested in the sale, please don’t be offended by my excitement over it. Remember, this the only bundle sale you’ll ever see me promote. 

But if you are interested in taking advantage of this amazing collection of healthy living resources, then there is some pressure … since December 2 is the LAST DAY to take advantage of this amazing sale!

The Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle sales ends at 11:59pm on Monday, December 2, 2013. So if you don’t want to miss out, please purchase your bundle here and partner with me to make a difference in the lives of others. Thank you, friends!

Joyfully Serving HIM, Kelly

Simple Turkey or Chicken Pot Pie (GF)

By Kelly · 6 Comments

Turkey Pot Pie (GF)

Leftover turkey is a special blessing in more ways than one! I’m thankful for having all of that extra meat on hand for whipping-up quick and healthy dinners. But of course, you don’t have to eat it every single day in a row until it’s gone. You can freeze it and use it later – long after the memories of the Thanksgiving Day overindulgence have past.

One quick and easy way to make use of turkey leftovers (or roasted chicken) is this delicious Turkey Pot Pie recipe that I’m sharing over at For the Family. It’s definitely a creamy, rich comfort food that the whole family will appreciate – and will leave you with more time for preparing for the next much-anticipated holiday – Christmas!

Three cheers for leftovers!
