This cheesecake with raspberry sauce is so good! It’s sugar-free, gluten-free, and low-carb, but full of flavor. It’s a rich and decadent dessert that will satisfy even the biggest sweet tooth!
This recipe is also pretty fancy! Since there’s raspberry sauce involved, you can really get fancy with the presentation, especially if you also include some fresh raspberries and maybe some fresh mint as a garnish.

Eating organic isn’t just for hipsters anymore, it’s becoming more and more mainstream and it’s not as costly as it used to be. There is a growing body of evidence to support why we should eat organic.
One of the most important aspects of staying healthy is with the food that we eat. The food that we eat every day determines the kind of nutrients that we get into our bodies.

Many people struggle with digestive dysfunction today and the long-term impact of digestive dysfunction can show up in all kinds of places you would never associate with digestion. Remember, digestion is a major nutritional foundation for optimal health and when it’s not working, things can get weird.
Symptoms like heartburn, indigestion, gas, and bloating are so common that we actually think they are normal. These symptoms are not normal and are your body’s way of alerting you that something is not working correctly.
It’s critically important for us to pay attention to these signals and make corrections. We really are what we can absorb and if you are not digesting food correctly and absorbing nutrients for an extended period of time, dysfunction will start to show up in other bodily systems including the Endocrine, Immune, Cardiovascular, and Detoxification systems.

Oxalates, also referred to as oxalic acid, are organic compounds that naturally occur in a wide variety of plants, including everything from leafy greens, legumes, nuts, and seeds, to cruciferous vegetables, blueberries, and dark chocolate. In small quantities, the body can also create oxalates by metabolizing vitamin C.
They are essentially a protective measure that plants have to defend themselves against predators. Like lectins and phytates, oxalates are considered to be antinutrients because once consumed, they tend to bind to minerals, like calcium or iron, forming oxalate compounds and causing the minerals to be non-bioavailable and therefore not useful to the body from a nutritional standpoint.

Snacks…I’m always on the lookout for new paleo snacks. Paleo generally means safe for me since I’m always chasing food sensitivities. Safe snacks like my parsnip chips and celery root french fries are great options for me when I need a munchie!
Paleo store-bought options are definitely easier to find these days, but they’re so expensive! I’d rather save some money and control the ingredients at home.
So I decided to compile all of my favorite paleo snack posts here so you guys can check em out.

Family dinners are more than just a meal. It is about the only time that families have to share time through the week. Whether you sit down to the dinner table or enjoy a meal on tray tables and a movie in the family room, the important thing is that you are together.
