Fermented Twist on Fourth of July Classic Foods

Hey all, it's Madison with another guest post. This time I wanted to offer readers a healthy alternative to traditional Fourth of July meals. Food served on the Fourth is typically heavy on the grease, processed carbs, and saturated fat. These foods are difficult for our bodies to digest and offer little nutritional value. This post re-imagine some classic Fourth of July meals, substituting nutritive ingredients and adding in ferments as a digestive aid. Every recipe in this post offers a great way to introduce healthy probiotics into your system.

Peppermint Chia Bites

One of the things I love most about my mom is that she was never one to follow a recipe. If she didn't have a particular ingredient that a recipe called for, she'd sub for something similar, get creative and put her own little twist on it by adding a completely unrelated ingredient or just skip it. There were definitely some duds in the mix but more often than not, she came up with some awesome dishes.

My favorite part of the holidays was decorating gingerbread houses that my mom would bake from scratch, design and assemble herself. I loved that the gingerbread house always ended up reflecting each and every person in our family - we’d all decorate it together, all adding our personal touches. To me, the holidays are all about spending time with loved ones and  spreading love and what better way to spread love around the holidays than with a little baking?!

We're so excited to bring you this pumpkin hemp cookie recipe using Manitoba Harvest's Hemp Hearts, which offer a nutty, rich, earthy flavor that's complemented by the pumpkin in the cookie. Hemp Hearts are packed with protein and omegas, and they're a great addition to any dessert to make it just a little healthier. :) 

Yoga Pose Paleo Cookies

My cousins are going back to school this week so I thought it'd be appropriate to make some healthy-ish snacks for them to have on hand in the afternoons. September is National Yoga Month, so when Yummi Yogi sent some cookie cutters to the office, we got right to work making Yoga Pose Paleo Cookies.

I hope this Monday finds you feeling relaxed and refreshed! Maybe refreshed enough to try your hand at baking this week?!
