Recipe: How to Make Tortilla Chips (Fried in Coconut Oil!)
Wanna learn how to make tortilla chips? It’s easy! Everyone loves the freshly-made kind you get at a nice Mexican restaurant… mmm. But, unfortunately, almost all tortilla chips are fried in very unhealthy oils which are way too high in PUFA, are often GMO, and are totally rancid. The corn itself is usually GMO, too,…
Better than “Bulletproof” Coffee
Your cup of coffee sucks. Because haven’t you heard? If it’s not giving you mystically-energizing, cognition-elevating, biology-“hacking,” body “reprogramming,” fat-melting superpowers (and most importantly, if you didn’t pay this guy 20 bucks for a tiny bag of your coffee beans), then well—you’ve got nothing more than a mug full of deadly toxins in your…

Store-bought mayo is pretty incredibly nasty. Aside from other questionable ingredients, it’s always, and I mean, always, made with a “veggie” oil like soy or canola as the base. Those industrial oils are filled with damaging polyunsaturated fat, are are completely rancid and awful for you. Just look at the ingredients of this typical jar of…

Recipe: Cherry Pie Granola Bars
Easy breakfast foods to-go (that are actually healthy) are so hard to come by, aren’t they? At least, in the grocery store, they are. I’d love to just pick up a pack of granola bars and keep a stash on hand for when I don’t have time to make a decent breakfast or snack, but…
Recipe: Mini Apple Pies
How many times a year do you make a pie? For a lot of people, that’d be usually only once or twice, during the holidays. Because I mean, making a pie is a big undertaking. There’s all the slicing and mixing and rolling and cutting, and most of all — the pressure to make the…
