We’re always looking for new pork tenderloin recipes. This is easy from the perspective that you can marinate it in the morning and it will be perfect when you get home from work and cooks up relatively quickly. Serve with a side of sautéed greens and a baked sweet potato (pureed). Or if you’re pressed for time, instead of the sweet potato, cook up some quinoa – it only takes about 15 minutes.

Samoas Makeover
February 8, 2013 by Optimum Wellness 0 Comments
These homemade gluten free Samoas are quite the indulgent bundles. In aiming to make them gluten free and as healthy as possible, we used coconut oil in place of partially hydrogenated vegetable oil and we made homemade caramel sauce (from sugar, water, vanilla and 1/2 and 1/2). As a result, the cookies spread a bit and are larger than they should be.
