Recipe for Vegan Full Moon Cookies with Coconut Frosting
June 4th is a Full Moon so in honor of this Strawberry Moon I designed these Full Moon Cookies based on an Ayurvedic cookie recipe with a coconut cream frosting flavored with strawberry powder! Trust me when I tell you, they are going to be your new favorite healthy treat because there is NO SUGAR in these cookies! Not even sweeteners like honey or agave! The natural sweetness comes from the dates. And the frosting…oh the frosting!! It’s a vegan buttercream alternative which I am so thankful I discovered because I could eat a bowl of buttercream frosting on its own. PLUS you can use any left over frosting (if you have any) as a luxurious, buttery, and natural shaving cream.

Three Healthy Recipes with Rosehips: Cough Syrup, Apple Butter and Cider
Rose hips are a very underthought herb…blossom? Actually rosehips are the fruit of the rose! They really are more common than you think, I bet you’ve seen them around in the wild or maybe even have them in your backyard. These little red/orange bulbs are packed with vitamins and natural medicine. Used for centuries to reduce inflammation, boost immunity, aid in heart health, and reduce the pain of headaches and arthritis. Modern herbalists still use rosehips for all of these things today however now we understand why rosehips are so powerful medicinally.
Basic Holistic Bread Recipe
This bread recipe is what I use when I am craving bread but I don’t want to spiral about grocery store brands, extensive ingredient lists, preservatives, inflammatory ingredients, etc. When I got diagnosed with leaky gut and my doc told me to cut out all inflammatory ingredients including soy, gluten, sugar, and dairy, it got really hard to shop for groceries. I’ve always been good at making home cooked recipes but I was always like, “I don’t have a bread maker.” Well guess what. You don’t need one! This recipe only has 5 main ingredients, 6 if you include water. Now I can eat bread again and I don’t feel guilty or awful after I eat it.
Sage & Ginger Oxymel Recipe
An oxymel is a tart herbal healing tonic made with vinegar and honey. Traditionally, it is made with more honey than vinegar but this ends up being incredibly sweet so most modern oxymels are made with a 1:1 ratio of honey & vinegar.
Oxymels have been around and at least documented since the age of Hippocrates (often called the father of medicine) who said, “You will find the drink, called oxymel, often very useful… for it promotes expectoration and freedom of breathing” (Hippocrates, 400 B.C.E.
This tonic does not simply need to be made of honey and vinegar, we can add herbs to enhance the health benefits! In today’s recipe we are going to use sage & ginger.
