Out with the cane, in with the palm sugar (with video)

When I need a sweet boost in recipes I’ll always turn to fruit or stevia first (whole natural foods = yay!), but when those foods simply can’t pull the weight, it’s palm sugar comes to the rescue. I teamed up with superfoods company Navitas Naturals a couple weeks ago — who offers organic palm sugar — and shot this fun Navitas-style video for their “Chef’s Notes” video series.

Questions of breakfast

Carpe diem always starts with a solid breakfast, and one of my recipes for success is Lemon Coconut Breakfast Bars. They’re so easy to make and full of good choices.
