One of my go to meals is pasta. It’s quick, filling and oh so satisfying. Coming from a half Italian background, I grew up on it. Being married to an Italian who loves his pasta, I find myself craving it a lot. The problem with pasta is that the gluten always triggered my fibromyalgia symptoms […]
Apricots with Spiced Banana Nice Cream
It’s officially summer today woohoo! My favorite fruits are those of the summer. It makes it so easy to stay raw cause I can just feed off watermelon, peaches, cherries and apricots all day!
