Best Dairy-free Parmesan Cheese

This is probably the best recipe I ever created. Back in 2012 I was allergic to cheese. Since I LOVE Italian food, I was HIGHLY MOTIVATED to recreate the flavor of Parmigiano Reggiano! This is coconut cheese with a ZING! Grate it, slice it, or cut into chunks. Instead of dairy, it uses coconut butter, lemon, nutritional yeast, and optional Vitamin C for a sharp, aged cheese flavor. BTW I lost my cheese allergy! I discovered I can tolerate dairy that's organic, grass-fed, and unpasteur...

Are You Taking Your Pine Tea?

Hello friends, this is excerpted from the article: PINE TEA: Possible Antidote for Spike Protein Transmission, by Dr. Ariyana Love.  Last April front line doctors and medical experts dropped a bombshell regarding spike protein transmission.

Experts revealed that transmission is happening at a rapid rate and without skin to ...

Wild Dandelion Avocado Pesto with Pumpkin Seeds!

Fluffy Buckwheat Pancakes with Apple Butter

The easiest, healthiest, fluffiest pancakes I ever tasted. If you have whole buckwheat groats, an apple, and a blender, you've GOT this! The night I invented it, I lay wide awake staring at the full moon. I had just discovered that fine ground "flour" as we know it is neither healthy nor Paleolithic. I mean, how could they hand grind wild seeds on a stone on the floor of a cave? Suddenly I had a vision of fluffy buckwheat pancakes without flour. Yep, sounds impossible. Immediately I got up to soak some buckwheat groats. Next morning, the results were the sweetest, fluffiest, tastiest pancakes ever! We were eating them with apple butter within 15 minutes! A major discovery! ...
