Gluten-Free Brown Rice Flour Tortilla Recipe

Making your own gluten-free brown rice flour tortillas is so simple! With just a few ingredients you can make healthier tortillas at home. My recipe is egg-free and xanthan gum-free as well. I use a cast iron tortilla press to quickly press all of the tortillas, and then I cook them in a hot cast iron skillet on my stovetop. If you don't own a tortilla press you can roll the dough in between two pieces of parchment paper using a rolling pin. I've made so many versions of this recipe to try to figure out the best method for getting flexible tortillas.

Cucumber Kale Cleanser  (aka "Green Juice")

There’s something deeply symbolic about sipping a vibrant green juice at the start of a new year. It’s not just a beverage—it’s a reminder that each nourishing choice we make has the power to shift our energy, brighten our cells, and support the path back to wholeness. This is one of my favorite green juice recipes. It's mild, refreshing, and even kid-approved—my children absolutely love it. Try serving it in a beautiful glass with a stainless steel or glass straw to make the experience feel special. Whether you’re beginning a new healing protocol or simply adding more plant power to your day, this juice is a gentle and energizing way to begin.

Christmas Kale Salad

I wanted to share this festive holiday kale salad with you, a flavorful dish that’s perfect for potlucks and seasonal gatherings. The combination of orange zest and juice, warm cinnamon, toasted pecans, and dried cranberries creates a bright yet grounding balance that feels especially fitting this time of year. It’s one of those salads that tends to disappear quickly; my children happily eat it by the bowlful, especially savoring the crunchy pecans and tender, well-marinated kale. You may have noticed that I’ve been quieter here over the past several months. Last spring, we signed a book deal with a publisher. Since then, I’ve been immersed in writing and meeting a full schedule of deadlines, which has pulled my attention away from the blog. I’ll be sharing more about the upcoming books soon.

Chocolate-Hazelnut-Goji Berry Cookies (grain-free, gluten-free)

This healthy little cookie recipe came to me in a flash the other day....all written out in my mind. I knew I had to get busy in the kitchen and make them. They turned out great the first time! Living in the Pacific Northwest we have an ample supply of hazelnuts so I like to use every opportunity I get to incorporate them into my recipes.
