Teeccino is a wonderful herbal coffee, it doesn’t contain coffee…therefore it has absolutely NO caffeine, but tastes just like coffee (read more about it here). Did you know that even decaf coffee has at least 7 to 10 mg of caffeine per 6 ounce cup, and decaf coffee brewed at coffee bars can contain twice as much caffeine because they typically brew coffee stronger. Enjoy this delicious hot mocha three ways….regular, cinnamon, or peppermint. It is also great served over ice, simply use extra-strong brewed Teeccino instead of regular-strength. If you can handle regular coffee, feel free to use it…but drink it in moderation as it is acidic to the body…read more about Coffee & Your Health.

In fact two handfuls of cashews have the same therapeutic value as a dose of Prozac.

These honey-roasted cashews are made with all natural healthy ingredients, including raw honey. They are super easy to make and taste wonderful….you won’t want to stop eating them.

These grain-free cookies are great with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of tea. I love them, as well as do my children. Rolling the cookies in maple sugar (or rapadura) before baking gives them an extra crunchiness on the outside…not to mention just adds that special festive touch. Great for the holidays! The cookies are fairly easy to make, as everything is done in the food processor. Quick and easy
