Oats are the foundation of any good granola bar, but the hardest grain for a celiac to digest even when they are safe and 100% purity protocol. Noshing into a big 'ole granola bar doesn't sit well for many of us. Alternatives to the famed granola bar would be bars made from nuts and loads of sticky refined sugar. Granola bars are not so allergy-friendly, nor are many of the store-bought versions healthy. But what if we could change that with a healthy, homemade, no-bake recipe? … Read More...

Looking for the best Authentic German Potato Salad recipe, just like Grandma used to make? The vinegar-based potato salad you love, but without bacon and it's vegan, gluten-free, paleo, and allergy-free! Served warm or cold, this easy side dish still packs all the zesty & smokey flavor with the help of homemade coconut bacon!Potato salad is the side dish of the summer. Some may say pasta salads reign supreme, but if you ask me, I think potatoes will always have a slight edge.
