In this episode, I'm diving into one of my favorite topics - summer desserts with no sugar added! Now, before you walk away thinking "boring health food," let me tell you - I got my husband Ric completely off sugar with these recipes, and if he can love them, so can you!

I'll be honest with you - I'm not a natural baker. I'm much more of an intuitive cook who loves to play around in the kitchen. But baking? That requires precision and measuring, which isn't exactly my strong suit! However, through my macrobiotic learnings, I discovered we absolutely CAN have our sweets - we just don't need the sugar.

In this episode, I'm breaking down all the components of healthier dessert making:



Alternative flours (almond, coconut, brown rice - perfect for my gluten-free friends!)




Plant-based milks and oils




Natural sweeteners like maple syrup, brown rice syrup, agave, dates, and even applesauce




Creative substitutions like flax eggs and sugar-free chocolate chips




I'm sharing two of my go-to recipes that you can make your own: Almond Butter Rice Crispy Treats and a versatile Basic Almond Cookie that you can jazz up however your heart desires - lemon, peanut butter, you name it!

Next time, we're diving into appetizers and finger foods - perfect for summer gatherings!

Remember, this is Earth School, and the lesson is love. Life is full of cookies and Rice Krispy treats, so let's make them the healthiest versions possible! 💕
