My most popular healthy food recipes.

I rarely cook or bake with grains but once in a while my kids will ask me for a traditional oatmeal cookie. Nothing I do is traditional, but this gluten-free Oatmeal Walnut Cookie recipe is a healthier version of what your grandma used to make. With the continuing rise of obesity, type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, I lowered the amount of blood sugar spikes by using low-glycemic sweeteners and almond flour. Gluten-free oats can be a good carb addition IF you’re looking to eat higher carb foods, and yes, there are those folks still out there. The walnuts in this gluten-free oatmeal walnut cookie recipe are a smart replacement for chocolate chips because walnuts contain the most abundant amount of omega-3 fatty acids, like ALA, than other nuts. ALA’s are great for heart health and reducing inflammation in the body and are a precursor to other omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, all great for our brain health as well.
