Oven Baked Carrot Fries

Have your fries and eat them too!  This is guilt free, simple recipe and a great alternative to fries. It's the perfect side for any dinner and a great way to help kids eat their veggies!

Ingredients
Carrots
Coconut Oil
Seasoning of choice (I like to use Borsari)

Peel your carrots and cut into 3 inch pieces.  Then cut in 1/2 lengthwise then in 1/2 lengthwise again to get the width of fries.  Lightly rub coconut oil on the carrot sticks and grease a baking pan with it.  Season the carrots with sea salt and pepper and cook for 20 minutes on 400 degrees.

That's it!  They are very tasty and have a hint of sweetness to them.  Enjoy!
 

Refreshing Summertime Drink

With the summer heat and humidity in full force, who doesn’t need a tasty refreshing drink!  It is great for adults and kids and a great switch from the regular ol’ water. 

1 bottle of Pellegrino water
1 to 1 1/2 cups of raspberries or any other fruit you'd like to use
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup of ice

Blend all together and there you go!  You could even add a little honey or xylitol (for those on Candida Clear) to sweeten it up.  I personally didn’t think it needed it, but it is always an option.  I also didn’t use ice in mine (I personally don’t like ice in my drinks) and it works just as well- more of a flavored water versus an icy drink.  

Enjoy!
