Saw these muffins on Pinterest and knew I had to make them! They were already almost gluten-free so I tweaked them to make them dairy-free as well. And thanks to the blog on healthyisalwaysbetter they are only around 58 calories per muffin. These are super moist and not too sweet. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did!

What can I say...I've been loving the chips and dips lately. Here's another one of our favorites. I got this recipe from my brother in law and then tweaked it a little. Don't be fooled by the green color! It has an amazing flavor and some really good health benefits. The pine nuts alone provide essential minerals, vitamins, and "heart friendly" mono-unsaturated fatty acids that help benefit in reducing cholesterol levels in the blood! (They also give the dip a darn good flavor.) Enjoy! Pine Nut & Spinach Hummus Dip (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free) Adapted by jalene from a recipe by my bro-in-law Dr. Jared Nielsen Ingredients:
Caught chip-handed! I really need to get a toddler proof photo shoot area! ha ha A while back I told you about the Cancer Project Class that I attended with teacher Charity Lighten. This next recipe comes from that class. This Black Bean Dip is SO EASY to make and also incredibly good for you. It's virtually fat free which is extremely helpful in keeping hormone levels within healthy limits and lower ricks of breast and prostate cancer. The cumin helps adds flavor and antioxidants. Plus, it's yummy! We use it as a dip for chips, veggies, or spread it on our Lentil Tacos or with regular tacos. Black Bean Dip (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free) Ingredients:
Check out my little black bean dip thief! She hates waiting for me to finish my photo shoots. She'd rather dig in! Note from jalene:
Hey, hey. I know what you're thinking...It's May 1st yet here is another great recipe! That's right, we just finished up our whole month of April with a recipe-a-day! Hope you've enjoyed them. I decided I will still be posting recipes (just not on the weekends mainly). There's just so many good recipes, I can't help but to share them... When I was younger, I had a little sister who would BEG for split pea soup. I remember her eating it all the time! I, on the other hand, would look at the green goo and turn my nose up. It wasn't until I created this recipe for my daughter that I fell in love with Split Pea Soup! Even my husband who also HATED Split Pea Soup since his childhood will eat this one! There is a catch though... you need a pressure cooker to make it. My mother tried making it in a crock-pot and simmered it all day and even after doing that, it still was not as soft or green in color as the pressure cooker version. So, I apologize in the exclusivity of this recipe but once you taste it you'll understand why it has to be cooked in such a way. My pressure cooker plug: Before I begin, I just want to say that I DO NOT get paid to say any of this but it is out of simple sure-love that I decided to tell you about my Cuisinart Electric Pressure Cooker. I bought it from Costco and have absolutely adored it! (It also has a low-pressure setting, browning, simmering, and saute' option.) It was not a cheap appliance but it's one that will definitely pay for itself over time. Dried beans are super cheap to buy and making them in the pressure cooker is so much healthier! Not only are you leaving out the added preserving chemicals but you also don't get all the added sodium (salt) and BPA from the lining of the can. It's a total win-win situation. (If you're not sure what BPA is click on the highlighted word above to read a SUPER-GOOD article on the dangers of it. I freeze my beans in BPA-free ziplock bags or in BPA-free ice cube trays (see picture below) for quick use later. In the pressure cooker I can cook beans in 30 minutes (and they are soft just liked the canned ones). I also can cook beets in 25 minutes, Quinoa in 2 minutes, long-simmering soups in 25 minutes, and much much more. PS the Pressure Cooker also comes with a recipe book! Alright, enough plugging, here is the recipe. Maybe you'll fall in love with Split Pea Soup again. ;) Pressure Cooker Split Pea Soup
