Hello, just wanted to say I love your blog. I am currently under a C.N.C who also went to IIN and so I will be starting with IIN. I can not wait. I saw on one of your reciepes that you suggested to use a silpat. I was wondering about those. Are they safe and non toxic. I read that they are deemed safe by the FDA but these days that doesn’t me much any more. Thank you for your thoughts.
I’ve had the same concerns– and have been trying to look into safer options, since I don’t think silicone is ideal. So far, this brand of unbleached parchment paper seems like a safe bet, and is just as effective, if not better than the Silpat: http://amzn.to/O5eDiG I’d still love to find a reusable option, since using paper seems so wasteful, so I’ll let you know if I find anything better in the future!
I too have avoided the silicone cook ware. I’m old enough to remember teflon
I have used this brand of parchment paper for years and it works well. Parchment may not be as wasteful as we think. A blog somewhere along the line pointed out the fact that (depending on what you’re cooking) parchment can be reused. I will reuse mine several times before it goes to the trash bin, but it is compostable as well if you have community composting.
And Megan, thank you for this wonderful blog.
I am a consultant for Demarle at Home ( the company that created the Silpat). I can assure you that Silpats and the other Demarle silicone products are safe. They are FDA approved, Kosher Certified, and NSF approved. Their products are professional food grade flexible silicone with glass woven through it. The way you can tell if silicone is food grade or not is if you twist it or bend it and it turns white, it is NOT food grade and contains toxins and chemicals that leech into your food. Silpats and all of Demarle products do not turn white nor any other color. They take great pride in their products and if it doesn’t meet their expectations, they do not sell them. The Silpat has over 30 years of gauranteed health and safety standards and none of their products have ever been recalled or caused health or safety problems.
Does that help? If you have any other questions or concerns, you can contact me at http://www.mydemarleathome.com/StacieFoisy.
I stumbled across your website…enjoyed all the tips and recipes. I have recently changed my diet and was looking for some helpful tips. Thank you so much.
What are your thoughts on non/low-fat, unsweetened soy milk for recipes? It’s healthy right? I tend to use that kind of soy milk to make shakes and was surprised by the lack of soy milk used in your recipes.
Personally, I’m not a fan of soy milk. You can check out this article for some more information: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mercola/soy-health_b_1822466.html
Since it’s so easy to prepare homemade nut and seed milks, without adding any fillers or preservatives, I prefer to stick to those!
Just wondering if you have had enough time to finish composing your thoughts on the Specific carbohydrate diet yet. We were researching it before we found your site. Would love to know what your take is on it.
Thanks!
I discuss that diet more here: http://detoxinista.com/2012/02/the-diet-that-may-change-your-life/
Awesome. Thanks for the input. And thanks for being such an inspiration. My daughter has been on a special diet since birth (she’s 5) and we were just over the bland plain food we had been eating by trying to stay natural. We had gotten as creative as we could with her limitations or so we thought. We were just at our wits end when someone introduced us to your site. Such a God-send! Can’t thank you enough.
Megan;
I just want to tell you how much I love your site. I was wondering if you had children and if you feed them the foods you feature on your blog. I have a very fussy 12 year old that refuses to try new stuff. Would love to see some kid-friendly recipes.
Hi Kym! We don’t have any kids yet, but I do have a few nieces and nephews that I feed often. I’ll try to share some kid-friendly recipes in the near future!
Have you ever tried making a healthier lemon bar? I tried to just substitute out the reg flour for almond flour and sugar for stevia and it tasted okay but the texture was weird. Suggestions?
I love lemon bars! I’ll aim to post a good recipe for those this Spring, but in the meantime, you can try making these raw lemon meltaways:

(They’re similar to lemon bars, but without a crust!)
Hey I love your blog and all the recipes! However I was wondering if you could help me out with something. I am currently on a very strict diet due to a very bad flare up I’m having from Crohn’s disease. I feel like i can’t eat anything without getting sick. So I was wondering if you could maybe post a shake recipe that would be light on my stomach but have a lot of protein. Thank you so much!
Hi Meagan! I was wondering if you eat the chia seed pudding hot or cold? Thanks!
I eat it cold or at room temperature, but I’m sure it would be tasty if it was gently warmed in a dehydrator or blender, too.
Megan, I am part of the April/May group coaching. Everything was working fine until I logged out. Now when I log back in it does NOT take me to the group pages where our conversations are posted. PLEASE HELP!!
Debbie S.
Debbie, do you still have your original email with the log-in information? All you have to do is click on that URL to the forum to get back to the conversations. I recommend saving that link as a bookmark, for easy access. I’ll email the link to you privately, in case you don’t still have it saved.
It worked! Thanks so much for getting back to me so QUICKLY!!
I hope you do not mind that I put a link to your page on my blog. Your site is amazing & I love all of your recipes! I have struggled my whole life with weight & food & I am so thankful to have found your page. Everyone should see it!
I’ve just stumbled across your blog after searching for a raw chocolate cheesecake recipe for my husband’s birthday tomorrow. So while that chills in the freezer I’ve been looking around your recipes and just wanted to tell you that I THINK I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU!!! I’m pretty sure the next thing on my to-do list is MAKE ALL THE RECIPES from here! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Hi! I’m 14 and I just wanted to tell you what an inspiration your blog is to me! I am so excited to start using all your recipes and incorperating healthy, nutritious foods into my everyday lifestyle. Thanks, keep posting!!
I would like to be put on your email list or whatever so I can be kept informed about updates and new information. Love your site.
Thanks
Hi Megan,
I stumbled across your website a few weeks ago trying to find healthy and tasty smoothie ideas for breakfast. I find that I can get wrapped up with looking at all of your different pages and before I know it a few hours have passed by. Also, my son who is 3 years old, loves your smoothies (even with the spinach in it).
Congratulations on your expanding family! There is nothing like being a mother. I would be interested in joining your group coaching session and just missed the recent one. Do you think you will be conducting another session after this group? If you would be, when would be the next session held?
Thanks, Karen! Depending on demand, I might hold one more coaching session this summer, before I have to start worrying about going into labor! I’ll be sure to post details in the near future!
Hello! I just stumbled upon this website today and I absolutely love it already! I have been forwarding it to all of my family and friends. I am a Zumba instructor and I am trying to get more healthy and in shape. This is a great resource! Thank you so much!
Megan,
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your website! I love ALL your recipes– I thought you should know how much I appreciate that they are all sugar-free (and not artificial sweeteners), vegan, raw, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc, and utilizing only high quality natural ingredients. I cook just like this every day and have created many of my own recipes like yours for years- I had no idea anyone else out there was publishing them on websites! So proud of you for making this a reality for those of us who strive to eat healthy without sacrificing flavor! Best wishes and keep up the good work!
Hi Megan!
I love the “what I ate Wednesday” posts. What are your approximate meal times? Also, you said you are doing Physique 57. Are you still doing that during pregnancy and if so, how many times a week?
Thank you!
I don’t time my meals, so I couldn’t tell you that. But I am still doing the Physique 57 workouts as often as I am feeling up to it, probably 2-3 times a week.
Is it possible to use less coconut oil with applesauce?
It depends on the recipe. You can usually sub at least 1/2 the oil with applesauce in baked goods, unless it’s a raw recipe where the coconut oil is necessary for structure.
Dear Megan,
I love your blog and your personality is beautiful. You make healthy eating so easy….I love healthy food, but I’m a compulsive binge eater too. Have you ever struggled with emotional eating or has it not been a problem for you? Any tips would be great. Thanks.
I am having my 3rd little one in a week or so and after I have my babies I am constantly in snack mode for the first few weeks because of nursing. I’d love to see so posts specifically geared toward nursing Moms and good snacks to make before babies arrival that could be frozen and ready for when baby comes.
Hello! When will you be doing your next 8 week food guide session? Thanks!
I am writing in regards to all the coconut oil you use in your recipes. Before I wrote I did research the new studies and findings on this particular oil. For many years this has been considered a bad oil for your cholesterol. You may want to let people know about health benefits and new findings of this natural resource. I almost dismissed your site and recipes due to the old studies. I’m glad I didn’t. I love healthy living and good food. I just don’t want others who stumble across your site to not come back because of this. Your site is wonderful!! Many people have cholesterol issues that seek sites like yours. Dr. Oz has a wonderful write up on it that I know many will read due to his celebrity.Studies still show that even though it raises the HDL levels it still raises the LDL levels, which is not what a person wants if they are already battling cholesterol. I’m glad to see you show some substitutions.
