Gluten-Free Coconut Biscuits

Coconut Biscuits are my favorite for breakfast, brunch or anytime. They are quick and delicious… and also happen to be gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free and nut-free!! I’ve been gluten-free since 1997 so I’ve tested a wide range of recipes with different flours. If you’ve never baked with coconut flour, it helps to let it sit for a few minutes after mixing to allow it to expand and come together. It boasts dietary fiber and a bit of protein. Once the biscuits are out of the oven, I recommend eating them right away while hot. They probably won’t last anyway!

Cutting Cholesterol

Q&A: My doctor just told me that my cholesterol is high. Now that I’m in my 40s, I’m trying to pay more attention to my health – especially since my father had a stroke when he was in his 50s. I rather not rely on medicine the rest of my life. What can I do to get my cholesterol down?

Healthy Jumpstart

Q&A: Starting this New Year, I’ve recommitted myself to my health. I work out 4 times a week (which includes cardio, weights and yoga). I don’t eat beef or pork but love chicken, fish and tofu. I’m looking to create a simple eating plan that will allow for enough protein and carbs to keep me going. What do you recommend?
