This packed-full-of-goodies granola is wickedly tasty, but has all the goodness you’d expect from your local health food co-op. It’s great as a topper for less tasty cereal, and it’s perfect for adding a bit of crunch to yogurt or ice cream. Pack some up for on-the-go treats in snack-size zip-lock bags.
Craving: Sweet – Mornin’ Sunshine Parfait
Mornin’ Sunshine Parfait
I love parfaits because they are ridiculously easy to make,
but they’re pretty enough and girly enough to feel like a
special treat. I like making them for weekend guests, or
just for myself when I need a little pick-me-up. You’ll need parfait glasses or wine glasses for serving.
Brocco Mac and Cheese
The ultimate comfort food grows up a little in this healthy version. It’s still rich and cheesy, but it also gets extra calcium from the dried milk powder and the broccoli. The top gets nice and crunchy from the breadcrumbs.
Craving: Spicy – Huevos Rancheros Wrap
I love the flavors of traditional huevos rancheros, but the restaurant-style ones are loaded with fat. This version uses Napa cabbage instead of iceberg for more nutrition and whole-grain wraps instead of tortillas.
Craving: Thirst Quenching – Love That Bump Lemonade
Many women told me that they couldn’t get enough lemonade during their pregnancies, so I wanted to develop a lemonade recipe that was easy and not overly sugary. First, you’ve got to use fresh lemon juice: the concentrate just doesn’t cut it. Then you’ve got to sweeten it. This one’s made with honey, which I find really delicious. If you prefer sugar, heat the same amount of natural sugar (or more if you’ve got a sweet tooth) with a cup of water on the stove until you get a syrup. This “simple syrup” then gets mixed with the lemon juice and water.
Momma’s Meatloaf
Potato chips are back on the menu! These are lighter than most store-bought varieties because we oven-bake them. Smoked paprika makes them even more flavorful.

Celebration Cocktails
Once you’re on the 21-Day Immersion Plan, you can enjoy one of these cocktails.
Oatmeal Date Chocolate Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are the ultimate feel-good treat. And you’ll feel even better about these because they’re made with high-fiber dates and oats and chocolate chunks.
Ruby Sparkler
While I love cocktails, I’m no mixologist and usually go for simple combinations, preferably with bubbly. And if the drink is gorgeous to look at while you sip, like this one, that’s even better.
