The ground is beginning to thaw, buds make their way up through the soil and the ground comes alive again…Yay for SPRING!  Of course, with Spring here we have Easter coming right around the corner. Since Easter is in two weeks, I selected two of my favorite spring recipes for you, using fresh, seasonal ingredients such as parsley, to create a delicious, healthy, gluten free dishes.   

I’m kind of obsessed with these deviled eggs, and given that Easter is near, what could be more appropriate? They’re easy to make, full of protein and naturally gluten free!  Deviled Eggs are perfectly simple and elegant for a party, and make a great casual everyday gluten free snack for all to enjoy!

 Deviled Eggs
·         5 large hard boiled eggs, cooled and shelled
·         1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise or grapeseed oil
·         1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
·         ¼ cup minced parsley
·         ¼ cup (very finely) diced celery
·         1 teaspoon minced shallots
·         ¼ teaspoon sea salt
·         ¼ teaspoon pepper
·         paprika for garnish

1.     Cut the eggs in half and remove the yolks
2.     Place the yolks in a bowl and mash
3.     Stir grape seed oil, mustard, parsley, celery, shallots, salt and pepper into yolks
4.     Spoon filling into egg whites
5.     Keep refrigerated until serving
6.     Sprinkle with paprika, or if you’re feeling zany, use smoked paprika
7.     Serve
(Makes 10 Deviled Egg Halves)

When I think of spring, I think of carrot cake and cupcakes…so, why not CARROT CAKE CUPCAKES!  These little gluten free Carrot Cake Cupcakes are topped with Cream Cheese Frosting, though if you’re looking for a vegan frosting option, you could go with coconut cream frosting.

Mother Earth, Mother Nature, We the Children & Easter

By
Did you know the first Greek God was actually a Goddess?. he is Gaia, or Mother Earth, who created herself out of primordial chaos. From her fertile womb all life sprang, and unto Mother Earth all living things must return after their allotted span of life is over.  Gaia, as Mother Nature, personifies the entire ecosystem of Planet Earth.  Mother Nature is always working to achieve and maintain harmony, wholeness and balance within the environment. Mother Nature heals, nurtures and supports all life on this planet, and ultimately all life and health depend on Her. In time, Nature heals all ills. The way of Mother Gaia is the passive, feminine, Yin way of healing. All we need to do to regain our health is to return to the bosom of Mother Nature and live in accordance with Her laws.
