By Jane Barthelemy. Anywhere you travel, whether it's London, or Los Angeles, eating healthy is a challenge. If you’re on a special diet, or if you just like to eat decent food, planning ahead is a requirement! Tomorrow I'm flying cross-country to a family reunion. I have just a few minutes to prepare a good meal...

An accidental discovery, this is now my absolute favorite "cheese" for Pizza. We DO want cheese on our pizza! It slices beautifully, and uses pure coconut instead of dairy. It has a milder flavor than Vegan Cheddar Cheese and Paleo Parmesan Cheese. Easy to blend, it's not quite an exact duplicate of the mozzarella taste. However it's so close...

Like all seeds and grains, nuts often contain natural coatings that are digestive inhibitors (lectins, saponins, protease inhibitors, and phytates) that make the nuts slightly bitter and more ...
