Healthy Donuts Really?

Americans love donuts just look around at all the small doughnut shops sitting pretty close to the big names like Dunkin Donuts and Krispy Kreme....unfortunately, Americans seem to love a lot of things that are causing obesity, diabetes and even early death.
So do you have to give up doughnuts? The answer is NO. You can have healthy doughnuts that you should take the time and bake yourself.
You can actually make a double batch and freeze some for later.

Healthy Doughnut Recipe (Gluten Free Version)
1 Cup Almond Flour
1 Cup Coconut Flour
3/4 Cup of Splenda, Stevia, Agave Juice or whatever sugar substitute you prefer
2 tsp baking powder (make sure aluminum free)
1/2 tsp of cinnamon or apple pie spice
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk
2 eggs
2 Tbsp of unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp of gluten free vanilla extract
Optional: Cinnamon sprinkled on top before baking
Sugar free chocolate chips sprinkled on top or inside batter
Blueberries mixed into the batter
I like variety

Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Spray Pam for 2 seconds.
Add all dry ingredients and sift with a fork, stir in wet ingredients and beat until all is combined.
(I use 2 Nordic Ware Doughnut baking pans that I got from Target for $13.99 a piece. If your local Target doesn't have them you can get them from amazon.com but will probably have to pay for shipping.)
Fill each of the doughnut wells 2/3 full. Bake 10-12 minutes, until the top of the donuts spring back up when lightly touched. Cool for about 5 minutes. Enjoy
Once you see how easy this is, fill your freezer up so the next time you are tempted--you are prepared!

Natural Help For Depression

Natural Options To Fight Depression Robin Williams a successful actor with assets over $50 Million, three children and a wife, why would he take his own life? I don't think anyone one of us can pass judgment on someone battling with so many demons and struggling with the "D" word Depression. However, there is more to life than money and success, as a Christian based holistic nutritionist I look at Spirit, Mind and Body and if they are all in balance sadness and mild to moderate depression may creep up on you, but you can fight back.... The very first step to battling all obstacles in life is recognizing that there is a higher power than you, that you cannot control every aspect of your life and definitely cannot control what's going on around the world. I may be criticized for saying higher power rather than God or Jesus, but I believe in baby steps especially if a higher power is new to you. If you feel hopeless or sad...pray, believe me p...
