Please note: This recipe was adapted off of Rachel Ray's Addictive Granola recipe. I made a "Healthier" version by cutting down on some of the sugar and butter! It still tastes great - without overloading it with sweets and fat! I also made a bigger batch than her recipe called for, so I could store and save more for later.
Ingredients: 6 cups of Oats 2 cups of Almonds (I left 1/4 of a cup of them whole, and crushed the rest) 1 cup of Sweetened Coconut Flakes 2 cups of Chopped Walnuts 1/2 cup of Brown Sugar, packed 4 tablespoons of Honey 3 teaspoons of Cinnamon 6 tablespoons of Butter (if yo have Coconut Oil on hand, you can replace 2 tablespoons of butter with that) 1/2 teaspoon of Salt Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2:
In a large bowl, pour in the oats. Crush the almonds in a bag or with a mortar and pestle - add to the bowl. Add coconut flakes, walnuts, brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix well.
Step 3:
Place a small saucepan on the burner over low heat. Once heated, add the butter (and coconut oil, optional), salt and the honey. Once melted, take it off the burner and pour over granola mixture and all ingredients - mix really well with wooden spoon (and hands if you're careful not to burn yourself).
Step 4:
Spread the granola out onto the baking sheets as evenly as possible - it's ok if the layer is fairly thick (ie: an inch or so in height). But much thicker of a layer, will require you to either bake longer, or do another batch after the first has been taken out and cooled. Bake for 40-45 minutes total. Every 15 minutes, pull it out enough so you can stir and move the granola off the edges and mix it around for even cooking.
Step 5:
The granola should be a golden color and the nuts will be soft when done. Don't worry - once it cools they will harden. It is advised to not overcook this stuff! Once it has cooled, remove it from the pan and seal it up in airtight containers. I keep mine in the fridge - and it lasts a long time.
According to the original recipe, it can stay fresh at room temperature in air tight containers for up to two weeks, or freeze for up to three months or longer.
Lastly, if you find it's not sweet enough for your taste, then you can always melt a bit more butter and brown sugar and pour it over your batch of granola. Or, just add more the next time around. Personally, I think this is just sweet enough but still very natural and healthy.
My favorite way to eat this:
-Slice up whatever fruit you have into chunks. I prefer to peel and cut apples into chunks.
-Add some yoghurt.
-Top it off with some delicious homemade granola!
It's my favorite snack!
This wrap is both delicious and healthy! If you use the same ingredients listed here, then you'll be consuming about 26 grams of protein - a hefty dose of vitamin A and fiber and several servings of vegetables! If you're concerned about calories, this whole meal is about 220 calories. If you add a couple ounces of grilled chicken to the wrap, the total calories will be at 320. If you want to increase that, add more chicken! 
Ingredients: Hummus (I prefer the roasted red pepper kind) - 2 tablespoons 1/2 carrot sliced or shredded 1/4 cup of spinach Flatbread (I used Flatout multi-grain bread which has 9g of protein in each slice) 3 artichoke hearts (from a can) *optional: 2-3 ounces of grilled chicken, chopped 
Hey guys! Im back with another [delicious?] healthy version of a classic recipe: lasagna. This dish is usually made with a ton of full-fat cheese, ground beef, and glutenous pasta; my recipe replaces all three of these not-so-healthy ingredients with much cleaner ones. 
Chop your onion (and celery and carrots if you have them) and dice your garlic. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan and toss the garlic in once the oil gets hot. After a minute or so, throw in the onions, celery, and carrots. Saute for several minutes until things start to stick. Now pour in your canned tomatoes and stir those around. Make sure to mash up the tomatoes into smaller chunks so they cook well. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for an hour, stirring occasionally. 
Whether you're trying to cut down on white flour or sugar, or you're just looking for some creative substitutions for better baking, this guide from our friends at Greatist will help you cut the sugar, wheat, or even the fat from your baked goods if you want to.Regardless of your opinions on what should or shouldn't be part of a healthy diet, this guide probably has a substitution or two you can agree with (and a few you might not). For example, cup for cup, skim milk could be used in place of heavy cream, or bananas in the place of oil or butter. Similarly, you could use a cup of unsweetened applesauce for a cup of sugar (although the graphic warns you that you'll introduce moisture with applsauce, so for every cup used you should reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup overall). If you're cutting wheat flour from your diet, 1/3 cup of coconut flour or every cup of wheat flour works wonders in pancakes, cookies, or cakes.Check out the full graphic below, and make note of the caveats to each substitution where they apply. Like we said, not all of them will be useful to all diets, but there are plenty of them, so you're likely to find one that works for you.The Ultimate Guide to Healthier Baking | Greatist
Beans are a practical and healthy addition to any garden, but they grow best when they have something to climb. Sure, you could buy a trellis, but it's extremely cheap to build your own.All you really need are some long poles and twine. Michelle Reynolds at Made+remade suggests bamboo, but long dowel rods, or even PVC, would probably work just as well (though they wouldn't look as nice). Basically, you need to tie together a few tripod-like structures with the rods, and hang two additional rods across the top and bottom of the installation. Once everything is secure and firmly planted in your garden, run a single long strand of twine in a zig zag pattern across the entire structure.Once you're done, wait for your bean plants to sprout, and then manipulate them onto the loops of twine to "train" them to climb. In no time, the whole structure should be filled with the edible products of your own backyard garden.
