Lemonade
(sweetened with raw honey!)
-¾ cup raw honey (or less, to taste)
-1 cup lemon juice (preferably freshly squeezed)
-6 cups water or carbonated water
-ice cubes (optional)
Mix the honey with lemon juice until the honey dissolves, using a whisk or shaking in a jar or other tightly-sealed container (we just use a half-gallon glass jar). Add the water and refrigerate until cold or serve immediately over ice, if you prefer.

100% Whole Wheat Banana Bread
Preheat oven to 350.
Grease a Bundt pan or mini loaves pan.
**Tip – Just use the inside of the wrapper from the butter stick to grease the pan. It works great!
Combine with a hand mixer in a large bowl:
-2 eggs
-3/4 cup honey
-1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
-2 or 3 VERY ripe bananas, smashed (enough to yield about 1 1/4 cups once smashed).
-1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Then mix in:
-1/4 tsp sea salt
-1/2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
-1/2 tsp aluminum-free baking soda (like Bob’s Red Mill brand)
Then mix in:
-2 cups 100% whole-wheat flour
Mix well. (This batter will be lumpy, due to the small chunks of banana and, possibly, some chunks of butter….that’s fine.)
If using a Bundt pan, bake 40-45 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean when poked in the middle of the loaf.
If using mini loaves pans, cut time back to 37 minutes. Ovens vary, so keep checking with toothpick.

Smothered Chicken
Serves 4
-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-1 TBSP olive oil
-1 green pepper, sliced
-1 red pepper, sliced
-1 onion, sliced
-1/2 cup each: shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses
Spices
-1 tsp dried oregano
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/2 tsp garlic granules
-1/4 tsp black pepper
-1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
*Check out our Grocery Shopping Guide for our tips on selecting the most additive-free versions of every ingredient used in our recipes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a large casserole dish. Thin/flatten breasts: place on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap and beat gently with a meat mallet. Mix all spices together and spread over chicken breasts. Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 170 degrees.
While chicken is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet. Add veggies and sauté until tender. When chicken is done, spoon vegetables over chicken and sprinkle with cheese. Return to oven until cheese melts. Enjoy!
(Psst….If you enjoy these recipes, be sure to get yourself a copy of our additive-free cookbook & grocery shopping guide, “Eating Additive-Free“! It’s stuffed with 150+ more tasty recipes!! Your satisfaction is guaranteed…or your money back!)
Looks like you have some good stuff in there! I have been thinking of getting your recipe book, but don’t have the money right now. It’s on my wish list!
I have tried tons of banana bread recipes and I can say with 100% certainty that this banana bread recipe is the MOST delicious! This cookbook is worth every penny and goes to a great cause.
About how many lemons does it take to make 1 cup?
Depends on size and how juicy they are. The ones I’ve gotten lately are pretty juicy so it only takes 3. I’d buy 4-6 just to be safe 🙂
Thanks Christy.
I’m interested in your book but would like to know if each recipe contains the fat,carb,fiber,and protien count in grams. Thank You.
Janine – Thank you for your interest, but there are no nutritional break-downs in my book for fat, carbs, fiber, protein, etc.
I will be trying the delicious looking apple dip. Tummy!
drool…. 🙂
Hmmm…my problem is that we are also have to avoid gluten and casein for one of my daughters. She is also overweight, so sugar is extremely limited as well.
I am currently working on a gluten/dairy-free book, actually. 🙂 But it will be a while before it’s complete. In the meantime, I am posting my gluten/dairy-free recipes on our online community site at http://www.CompletelyNourished.com. Perhaps you would be better suited to investing in a membership there ($12.50/6 months or $20/year). There are over 225 recipes on there, and over 150 of them are gluten/dairy-free, and more are added weekly – all have pictures, too! If you are interested in my cookbook/grocery guide also, CN.com members receive $10 off. So if you join CN.com first and order through the “Member Discount” page, then you’d save 50% on my e-book which would be more appropriate for the amount of info you’d be able to use out of there. Hope this helps! 🙂
Thank you! I’ll check it out!
Would you consider donating a copy to the Truth in Labeling Campaign? We’d love to review it. You’ll find our address at http://www.truthinlabeling.org.
